Nobody would. Dating is sexual. Not always in an explicit way, but that's why people date. All romantic relationships have at the very least, a sexual undertone. Even if you wanted to date that person, they wouldn't date you.

most people claiming to be asexual have no clue anyway, sorry if that sounds offensive. i guess most are just not getting any / have an unstatisfactory sexlive and for that engage in this protective excuse. "i don't have sex, but, but...i don't even WANT your stupid sex, hah!"
that or they try to pretend to be superior by showing that they are not slave to their drives and instincts so to speak.
sorry if this sounds harsh but no way there is that many realy asexuals here.

as for the thread: no, i wouldn't. sex is one of the most important parts of an romantic relatonship and, let's face it, way to much fun.

A lot. Most of which goes into games, books, animé, and old TV series.

Incidentally, all three.
I wish the first one was a negative, though.

Undoubtedly, not all of the people are truly asexual/nonsexual, but there are those of us who are.
So it is better to give the benefit of the doubt, I feel.
Also, there may be people who say they are nonsexual, but are really just somewhere in the Grey-A [http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hyposexual] spectrum, but don't know the terms.

Well, presently my body says it would go fine.
So long as it wasn't an exclusive relationship.
The five-fingered salute isn't exactly the best stress reliever you know.

Growing up in a household where friendships and companionship isn't actually encouraged, I have only been in a relationship only once before, and am in one at the moment, though I have to say, I have a feeling that she's a bisexual in situations where it involves alcohol and "truth and dare" games.

OT: Depends on the person itself really, I have seen asexual people act more mature and reason better rather than regular people who tend to stereotype other people. But that might be one side of the argument. Hell I am close to one now. So i might give it a chance, though no promises.

It would depend on the person. Sex IS an important part of relationships, but if you really, really just *click* with someone, and start to develop really strong feelings for them, I think it'd be possible.

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
So sex has no intimate or connecting value to you?

As condescending as this sounds, I feel bad for you.

Im not completely sure but I think no. I think it would be too frustrating for me, even if I would be able to have sex elsewhere or something.

I know ofc that mature couples often stop having a sexual relationship after many years, but I think I stand by my choice.

I don't believe someone is born asexual, like I heard is the case with homosexuality. It may be induced by some trauma or fear of intimacy, I don't know. If I'm wrong let me know.
Also, no, I would not date someone who told me straightforward "I am asexual" . I know a bit about these things, I am in a relationship with someone for 5 years now and let me tell you, one month without sex, we transform into two completely different people and tension is all around.
And a word of advice : if you're asexual and you find someone who accepts this then hold on to them tight because I personally have never met a person like that :)

Everyone has a different sexual libido. Environment affects it somewhat but its definitely something you cant change that easily and something that is part of your personality, something youre born with. Considering this I dont find it hard to belive that some dont have a libido at all.

Obviously it depends on the person, but I would be happy with a sexless relationship.

For the most part we can assume that people of alternative sexual preference (Asexual, Homosexual or Bisexual) are born that way however there are some cases where people act like they are of alternative sexual preference but are actually having gender confusion which could have been brought on by trauma.
However alternative sexual preference as a whole is no longer considered a psychological illness like schizophrenia and nowdays is merely considered an abnormality such as left handedness.

i don't want a girl that can be mistaken for a guy. Sorry. We can be friends, but thats about it. unless she's real kinky...the kind i like, then i might reconsider. Sex friends yes, relationship no.

I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
I'd appreciate breasts of a wholesome preportion though. For viewing pleasure. But then again.. that would probably tease the life out of me.. just sticking out like that wobbling at me from the parting of a loose fitting...

...what was I saying?

Wait what now? Are you sure you know what being asexual means?

Seriously, what's the advantage of calling it a "relationship" rather than just being friends?

It is just bleh. Boring.
Uninteresting.
If my boyfriend wants it, he can have it. I love him, and want to be close to him <3
I don't need people to feel bad for me over something of no value, though.
We each have our lot in life, and mine leaves me with a lot of free time.
I swear I lost my sanity a long time ago, and that may be linked... too much thinking...

he's right though, that's the best reason to feel sad for you then. you are missing out on something uncomprehensible beautyfull that would bring love and being close to a whole new level, if you could experience it.

It's also kind of a selfish hurdle on the part of the asexual person. "Well I'm asexual and we're in a relationship, so that means you have to be asexual too. Deal with it." ...C'mon. Seems pretty unfair.

Or are you saying that it's selfish to not want to do something you have disinterest in (or an aversion to), but totally okay to want to force such a person to do it because you do have an interest in it?
