I don't want to confuse the kids heads, so maybe a will stay with dogs and cats

no, I don't plan on it because it would be a loveless relationship and I wouldn't want a child living in an environment like that

Sorry, I couldn't find it in the archive. Also, nice dubs.

Makes sense to me, when I did ctrl+f there was only 2 results.

Huh. I wonder how their pruning is determined.

Can you include analloeroticism in the general?
>lack of sexual desire from other people
So you can be a fetishist or something yet not like sex and you are analloerotic.

Lol anal

Honestly I thought that the general specifically mentioned a lack of attraction to both sexes. It's always felt like the natural definition in comparison like hetero, homo, etc. Also by default autoeroticism is included to a degree, as are libidoists. The qualifier is a lack of attraction to either sex, so I can only think of perhaps autosexuals who are literally attracted to their own form not being included. With analloeroticism I think it's just the bare sex drive, in the same way that a straight man masturbating isn't gay.

I guess, just whenever i tell someone I'm asexual but have fetishes they think I'm insane, so the term analloerotic seems useful for describing thie discrepancy between no sex drive and no sexual attraction to others. But I'm not sure if they're the same technically.

Eh, guess it's up to you. The main problem is that in the english language, asexual can refer to it in the orientation sense of no attraction to either sex, or a state of being disassociated from sexuality entirely. I feel like the orientation sense has become more common and so I base speech around that, but linguistically you're fine. To me, saying you're asexual and have fetishes doesn't sound odd conceptually speaking. I'm guessing for the average person it's also confused by the fact that "fetish" has become slang for intense interests in niche subjects in general, as opposed to actual paraphilias.

In what context do you find it necessary to divulge you have fetishes when you're telling someone you're asexual?

>Can you include analloeroticism in the general?
Well I won't because it appears to already fall under the asexual unbrella but I can't say for sure if the other OPs will include it.

I dunno it sometimes comes up because people find it weird your not into anything at all.

So how many of you were raped into being “asexual”? This seems like just a trauma response

i think its circumcision

Probably about as many as homosexuals were.

How many people in here are in a relationship with a sex-haver who expects you to have sex with them? I'd do it to not die alone.
Nope.

Aro so luckily I don't have to deal with that. Good luck.
