Straight by and gay sex I understand. No sex.... I can't wrap it around my mind.

There was a movie years ago with I believe jane Fonda and (blast forgot his man... played Stane in Ironman) on this subject. Strange movie.

Though the original question was in all honesty a genuine one.

Ahah so an asexual person is, not defined by their desire to have a relationship at all, but only by the abscence of the desire for sex.
(heh my negatives are all over the place there I'm sure I could have worded it better)

So I imagine theres a sub divide in the community of people desiring relationships and those who do not.

---------------------------------

Hmm it is slow today, not the slowest its been that was the horrible crashes o'doom last year for me!

As far as I can tell, there is really no subdivide. I havent seen anyone who just wants to be alone or anything.

Its fascinating because I don't understand it. Its an atypical side of how the human brain works. We're hardwired for sex so we can continue the species. Asexuals don't have that drive. I think thats fascinating so I'm trying to learn more.

There are people who call themselves "Aromantic" who have no desire for a partner. They may still have friends though.

Yeah, I've met people who did want this. I think there's more than one axis to consider.

Sexual desire (Hypersexuality vs. Asexuality)
Relationship desire (Independant vs. Codependant)
Orientation (Heterosexual vs. Homosexual)

Maybe that's enough to try and define someone's general outlook towards relations.

Relashionships just got a lot more complicated............


I can't even begin to imagine no sex....... Maybe I'm just to much of a sex addict (worse things to be addicted to ).






damned security check is still going..... soooooo slow. 83% done....

Goldmoon, here's something I've been wondering. Considering how many presidents/goverment types seem to visit "Camp Victory", is it right for me to assume that camp victory is the Paris Hilton of our military bases in Iraq? That is either so far from battle and isolated/guarded that it is extremely unlikely that any insurgent will ever be able to lob even a sandle or a rock within a 5 mile perimeter of the base.

Heh what a cool session, we were ported into the bad guys erm well we're not quite sure inner sanctuary/temple I suppose to Vecna.

Stuff started nattering so we rushed out trying not to get hit, got zapped by surrounding pillars so we couldn't use anything but our innate and most basic attacks, after getting hit a lot, my characters werewolf disease fired off which meant he ocassionaly attack a random target when under half hits, this was always a party member but sometimes he got under control and was like knock me out! tie me down!! thing was he was regenerating under a power he had activated and if he stopped being bloody he'd have been under control again.

Not good enough though as a couple of wizards burst in and started attacking us from a bunkroom we had made it to, which my character was being tied into, he burst out of the ropes he was tied down to a bed with and rushed towards the paladin but ran out of actions to attack next round he regained control fired of a mystical warding teleported to the other side of these mystics cut one down in one round and cleaved into the over, yeah go werewolfdragonborn man.

they then got rid of the werewolf disease by curing it, ahh well.




Anyway if there was too much text there or it didn't make sense, werewolf disease making my character beserk during combat after being hit a lot was really cool, he managed to get it under control and kill a biggish bad as the party were trying to take my character down humanely.


------------------------------------

Ahah aromantic I knew they had to be around somewhere, it would seem crazy to me if they weren't.

God damn these last several days have been nerve wracking... *sigh* I hate playing the the waiting game... I want it to end.. but I want to hear good news but alas, there is always a chance I might hear the good. I've been litterally doing a mantra like chant in hopes that it might help the cosmos do things in my favor.

The made their decision early last week then decided to notify me on Friday. My advisor told me to send an appeal, which I did and said they should be able to come up with a decision that day. They didn't. In fact they waited till yesterday to go through the appeals and decided that I need to give them more information, which I did. They said they will give me their final decision before the afternoon ends, by email or a phone call... which never arrived.
