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,
-Antonia
