Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on vragen 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 u 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 u an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If u want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.
3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are u 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 vrienden who have been hurt in romance, and I know it could very easily happen to me.
4. Q: How do u know you're asexual?
A: u just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, u know how u feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells u otherwise.
5. Q: Do u 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 door sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed door the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.
7. Q: Are u 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 u an individual.
10. Q: Does it annoy u when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.
I hope u enjoyed this blog. There are meer blogs to come.
Peace and love,

We're going to be collaborating with one of my favoriete bands." Abigail said, "Indeed. Plus, Paul is kind of dreamy." Greeley said, "You realize he's an aromantic asexual, right?" She said, "I know." Sammy said, "Abigail has been a hopeless romantic for a long time." She said, "Yeah. It seems all the best guys are either deceased of wouldn't have me." Leila said, "Don't worry, Abigail. You'll get your chance at romance someday." Abigail said, "You really think so?" Leila said, "Sure I do. u deserve it." This made Abigail smile. She thought, For someone who has been through Hell and back, Leila sure is an optimistic girl. Pretty soon, the Radiant Terriers made it to Oak Ridge.
One day, New Religion had an interview where they talked about their song, "Stuck", and Fritz's retirement. Shortly after the interview aired on television, Paul got a call from his mother. She said, "I want to congratulate u on your new song. It's good that u asked for help when u realized u needed it. I always stressed to u the importance of asking for help. I also want to congratulate Fritz on his retirement. When u go on tour, I'll gladly stay with Fritz." Paul said, "Thank you, Mother. Yes, u did stress the importance of asking for help." She said, "That's right. I always told u that there's no shame in asking for help when u really need it." He said, "That's right." Paul talked with his mother for a long time. Finally, she said, "I have to let u go now. I'm getting ready to fix dinner." He said, "All right, Mother. Goodbye. Take care." She said, "You take care, too. I love you, Paul." He said, "I love you, too, Mother."
THE END
THE END
When Paul woke up from his nap, his mates sat down with him to see what he had written so far. He said, "You see, I keep getting stuck with the chorus." Lola said, "I think I know what will work as a chorus." She wrote down some words. Paul sang what he had written and what Lola had written. He said, "That works very well. Thanks, Lola." She said, "You're welcome." Erin and Carl added the seconde verse and the third verse respectively. They sang the song, and Paul said, "This is going to be a hit. Thanks for the help, my friends." Carl said, "No problem, Paul. If u ever feel stuck, tell us right away. Don't be afraid to ask for help." Paul smiled and said, "I won't." Erin then said, "To the recording studio!" The others said, "Yeah!"
