Poll: Would you date an asexual person?

[Peteron]

Seems kind of boring if you ask me. If she has no sexual attraction towards me whatsoever kind of ruins the purpose of a relationship. I mean, if she is really hot might give it a go.

 

[LittleChone]

If it WAS the right person for me, than yes.

Although I'd probably spend the rest of my days testing them as to whether or not they were attracted to me.

 

[Belated]

Sorry but no can do. For some people, sex is important in love. And I'm one such person. If I have to be loyal to just one partner, it's gotta be someone up for some bed-time. Not to mention affection. Affection is definitely an important component in love. And the easiest type of affection to show your partner is the physical kind. Kissing, hugging, inappropriate hand placement...

 

[hyzaku]

Sure, as long as the person is fun to be with I really don't care about their orientation anyway. If an asexual person wanted a serious relationship with me I would certainly be down for it. Sexual thoughts are fairly low on my priorities when I'm with people anyway. I'm already fine handling any urges solo so nothing would really change there. Sure I'd like to have sex but I honestly don't care whether I do or not. If I'm going to be with someone long term I'd rather be with someone I enjoy being with than someone I like to have sex with. I can have plenty of fun going out to a park, playing games together, or just talking with someone I like. To have someone I enjoy simply spending time with and that I enjoy interacting and conversing with is my ideal relationship. Sex comes and goes, but at the end of the road when I'm over 60 I really doubt I'd regret hooking up with someone I can have fun conversations with instead of that person I would have liked to have sex with when I was younger.

uhm just out of curiosity
How many of the people in this thread that claim to be asexual. (not saying your not)
Are not virgins , have been in a meaning relationship for 6+ months and are 18+?

 

[pearcinator]

...but they are asexual...they dont wanna date anyway.

 

[Zenn3k]

No way.

Sex is something I'd need to do with my romantic interest...otherwise its just a friendship.

 

[MasterWhatever]

It all depends. But then again in this generation sex is over rated.

 

[Zanderinfal]

Well, it depends. I want sex like a lot of people do, but in if someone doesn't feel sexual feelings, that I feel a lot for, then it wouldn't matter.

Maybe, maybe not. Just depends if the person if nice and understanding, like how any relationship should be like.

 

[Lizmichi]

I would honestly. Sex isn't all that matters in a relationship. I won't not date someone due to them not wanting to have sex. That's rather selfish in my book.

 

[Mcupobob]

A lot of asexuals on here. Guess they have more free time or something.

OT: I don't think so. It would be more like being good friends rather than a romantic partner ship. I believe romantic relationships start at attraction and desire then build upon that. Though I'm not sure if even Asexuality is a real thing. Though I can't tell how people feel about what the want(or not want) to knob is.

Anywho thats my two dimes and a nickel there.

 

[Lucifron]

I enjoy sex way too much for that to work in the long term, so no.

 

[Lucifron]

Was your post just strangely worded, or did you just say that you should sympathy-date asexual people on their terms because it's selfish to wish to satisfy one of your strongest biological needs?

 

[Firia]

Nope. Any person I meet is going to have to enjoy sex like I do. Sex doesn't need to be a corner stone of our relationship, but if we get along well enough to where I'd be willing, then we'd better both be willing.

 

[BlackStar42]

This is going to sound bad, but no, I couldn't. We could be the best of friends, but I'm 17. Sex is kind of important to me.

 

[MyFooThurTS]

I would date an asexual if I was still getting some, Asexuals do enjoy sex it's just that their Id's are much less dominant.
But if the deal was no sex then fuck that - I would turn that person down even if they were mythologically gorgeous and wealthier than god.

 

[holy_secret]

I would not be able to be in a relationship without sex, no. It would confuse me if there was no sex involved.
This is what is called a friendship.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I'm nonsexual. Yes, I tend to use that term now instead of asexual, to avoid confusing some people.
And I have a very sexual boyfriend, who I love.
Just being asexual/nonsexual doesn't mean we can't have sex, it just means we have no interest/drive <3
I could have sex whenever I want, I just don't, since it is a uninteresting. Bland. Somewhat pointless.
I could be grinding on Golden Sun: Dark Dawn instead. That is more interesting to me <3

 

[Astoria]

I don't think I could do that. It's not just sex that I would miss it's also everything that comes with it (the closeness, the feeling of being wanted ect.)
