Poll: Would you date an asexual person?

[DefunctTheory]

No.

As harsh as it sounds... no boner, no relationship.

 

[andreas3K]

I'm not interested in having sex, so I'd actually prefer a girl with a similar disregard for it.

 

[Gigano]

No, I'd want the physical bond, closeness, and palpable show of affection sex provides to be part of a romantic relationship as well.

 

[Knusper]

I would just call that being good friends if you weren't going romantic.

 

[Palademon]

Well, it'd be great proof that somebody actually loves me for me, and I'd probably cry from that happiness, so probably.

Not because you look like Tyson Beckferd? With the charm of Robert Reford?

I don't romance guys who aren't interested in sex with me. And I'm not interested in sex with guys I can't romance.(closeted)

I meant more in the sense that I'm not very physically attractive actually...

And do guys tell you they want to have sex with you before you start romancing then?

 

[Brandon237]

I would probably not start a relationship with an asexual person, I enjoy adrenaline too much, but if my current girlfriend became asexual I could live with it and I certainly wouldn't leave her because of it.

So depends on the person technically.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

No I couldn't. My boyfriend and I have a very active sex life and I'm happy with that. I have a high sex drive. If someone was asexual and I liked them, it could never go beyond friendship.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Sure. Not having a desire for sex (I am asexual myself) leaves me with more time for other persuits. Like, books! And cooking!

 

[Cheesus333]

Short term, probably. Long term, not a chance.

I'm still a virgin, so even if I didn't want to have children the conventional way [footnote]I mean with sexual conception at the start and a small person coming out of my wife at the end[/footnote] one day (which I do), then I'd at least want to have sex at some point in my life.

 

[Veldel]

Yea I could I dont really see sex as a major part of a relashionship.

 

[Antitonic]

I AM an asexual person.
I see that working out better for me than dating anyone else.

I would totally go and do that if I wasn't also aromantic.

That sounds like me. Are you me? But wait, I'm me! ...Or am I? Who are you? Who am I?!

I would of course encourage that person to seek help. They clearly have either emotional or chemical problems which are impacting their ability to live life fully.

...Wow, really? I know I shouldn't get involved with this, but believe it or not, asexuality is an actual orientation like heterosexuality or homosexuality.

 

[Wolfram23]

Hell no! I want a girl who likes getting nasty.

Otherwise it's just friends.

...shit. I'll have to phrase that differently then...

Well, it's complicated. I may just have a really, really, really low sex drive, I'm not sure. Can you be asexual if you have fetishes?

You know, I'm actually not sure.
The AVEN wiki claims some asexual people masturbate for release. Not being one of said people, I never actually understood what they masturbated to.

Asexuality is primarily a lack of desire for the act of sex. You can be attracted to people or what have you, if usually in a sort of platonic way, so I don't see why having any weird kinks would make you non-asexual.

Alright, thanks. That had been confusing me for awhile.

Why not? I have no qualms about dating someone who smells nice.


...Ba dum tssshhh

 

[DanDeFool]

No, because the only point to "dating" someone is to evaluate whether or not they'll be a good long-term romantic partner, and a very big part of the "long-term romantic partner" thing is that they're good to have sex with.

I can't see why we wouldn't be very good friends or housemates or whatever, but as far as romance goes, taking the sex out of romance is like eating a Hostess cupcake that's had the cream sucked out of it, when you're surrounded by Twinkies. It's just not as good without it, and you're just as likely to find a person to romance who you'll like just as well and IS interested in sex, so why bother?

Not really...Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction. Lack of desire for sex is a low sex drive.

Asexuals can be romantically attracted to people, if they're not aromantic, and also find people aesthetically or physically attractive (meaning they like how they look or they want to touch them), but they don't feel sexual attraction for anyone.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

Sooo...lemme see.I get to hang out with that person but not have sex with her. That´s called a friendship, in my opinion.

 

[crop52]

I am a HUGE hopeless romantic, i'm in love with love, emotional love.

so i have a slight disliking of "physical love"

so shiiiiiiiit, hell yeah i'd date an asexual person,
