This is tough to post because there are only about 2 people that “know” this but…
I’m an asexual.
For those of you that don’t know what an asexual is, or how it applies to humans, it’s someone that either does not have a sexual orientation or does not have a sex drive. See there are the two groups as mentioned. Those that do not possess a sexual orientation are not attracted, in any way shape or form, to either sex. They are not straight or gay, they are nothing. Asexuals that are without a sex drive are similar with a slight difference. While they are still not sexually attracted to anyone they still have a feeling of affection towards a sex and so it is possible to be asexual and still have a sexual orientation. I am of the sex drive type in that I am straight and wish to have a romantic relationship with a female but have no desire to be sexual.
Edward Gorey was an asexual and lived his life alone. I have reconciled with the fact that I will be without a relationship for the duration of my life and although the prospect of this would cause depression or worry in others it does not faze me at all. I have always pictured myself alone when envisioning the future and I will be happier this way.
I suppose it became obvious to me when I realised I have never once looked at… uhm… “pictures” online and have no need or desire to do so. I’m not going to go into further detail as I am sure you all get the picture.
But yeah. I guess this is my “coming out” of sorts. I tried telling two of my closest friends a year ago but they just laughed and didn’t believe me, so, I think I shall limit this to the interwebs for the time being. After all no one really needs to know “in real life” as it’s not like I’m hiding something, just hiding the lack of something.
They might start wondering, though, as I continuously opt to surround myself with books rather than girls.
Thanks for listening, folks, and sorry for taking up your time. I just thought I should get it out there as I have been thinking about it for a bit.
