Peaceandlove67 Article: Asexual Вопросы и ответы Blog

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on Вопросы I'm frequently asked about being asexual. As I mentioned in the Introduction Blog, I am asexual. I first discovered that when I was fourteen. I was bullied in school because of it. If you're not sure what asexual is, this should educate you, (I hope). Here it goes.

1. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean Ты don't date?
A: No. All asexual means is that you're not sexually attracted to anyone. Romance is totally different. Some asexuals are aromantic, but some of them are romantic. Romantically speaking, I could go either way, but I prefer males.

2. Q: Are Ты an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If Ты want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.

3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are Ты lonely?
A: No, I'm not lonely. I have friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more. Honestly, the only reason I haven't dated is I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've had good Друзья who have been hurt in romance, and I know it could very easily happen to me.

4. Q: How do Ты know you're asexual?
A: Ты just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, Ты know how Ты feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells Ты otherwise.

5. Q: Do Ты think you'll change your mind when the "right person" comes along?
A: No, I won't change my mind. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, not a choice. Besides, the "right person" would understand my needs and desires.

6. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean you're repulsed by sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed by the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.

7. Q: Are Ты asexual for religious purposes?
A: No, I'm not even religious. I'm spiritual, though. Asexuality is not celibacy. Celibacy is a choice. Asexuality is not a choice.

8. Q: What is the worst part about being asexual?
A: Probably the ridicule I've faced for it.

9. Q: What is the best part about being asexual?
A: I'm not sure. I guess the fact that it makes Ты an individual.

10. Q: Does it annoy Ты when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.

I hope Ты enjoyed this blog. There are еще blogs to come.

Peace and love,
-Antonia
