Sex? Um... no, I'll pass.

When we talk about sexuality we think about heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality. But that doesn't cover everyone. There are heaps of people who don't really identify with any of the "big three".

Though it may be difficult for some to imagine, there are many around the world who simply don't experience sexual attraction. Don't really care to look, touch or experience anything sexual. It's not that they have an aversion, necessarily, it's just that they don't care - sex is not on their radar. (There are a few different theories on why this is the case, but the research is scant, at best.)

You can imagine how little room there might be for asexuals in a culture driven by sex on a lot of levels, but that's beginning to change. The Asexual Visibility & Education Network has it's own site full of info and a message board that contains over 3,000 registered members. There is also an online personals site at asexuallove.net—just cause you're not sexual doesn't mean you don't want relationships.

So, if sex in any form just isn't your bag (though, maybe you wouldn't be visiting my site if that were the case...), you're not alone.
