I just read them, thanks but now **** sake. Who established these terms? Is it some societal thing like "bootylicious" and "swag," or is it from a school of psychology and medicine?


I would imagine people on http://www.asexuality.org/home/ collectively agreed on these terms, but I could be wrong.
You said you've kissed guys but your tsr gender is male, so are you gay? :confused:

You know his "asexuality" could just be a mental block towards accepting he's gay.
This is acc so funny

Well I'm very sorry, but I can't go back in time and find the exact moment someone used the term demi____ :s-smilie:??

I have no idea why you're being defensive but it's most likely because you're throwing around made up words and you think some website that anyone who knows CSS coding can make up to raise awareness. That doesn't mean it's an official thing. Which is what I was asking and you chose to post a link. But ok.

If you're a guy who wants to date girls yeah.

Demiromanticism is extremely difficult to explain (partly because I don't really get it, but hey) so have a link

http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Demiromantic
http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Demisexual



Normally I would disagree because I think a lot of sexual terms do have some decent grounding, but in the case of demiromanticism and demisexuality I simply cannot understand why they need the term. The links for them are above^^^

Oh and grey-romantic/asexual is for anyone in the grey area which does have more credibility.


Mind's half-blown, half-confused. Thank you for the links, but if anything I'm more lost than I was previously :') Makes me understand why people study Sexology

I genuinely thought I was for a while. So I was involved with a wonderfully attractive guy, kissed and tried stuff etc, but I found that it wasn't what I was into ;( He was lovely though,

And believe me, I'd have no problem with being gay. I wouldn't see it as something to 'accept'. I tried it, and it didn't work. I appreciate your perspective though! :smile:

I've never watched Pornography, never had sex, never been on a date, and never been in a relationship for longer than two weeks. I have no problem kissing guys, but I can't go further, so I don't think I'm gay. And I rarely think about sex altogether. Despite not being the best looking, opportunities have been there, we always just mutually decided against it.

And now that I'm 22, I'm starting to consider whether I'm actually asexual. My question is, do you think asexuality exists? And if so, do you think you could be in a relationship without sex?

Seriously, I'm like a plant :')


OP you're clearly a very attractive guy and I would advise against trying to label yourself just because the fact sex doesn't interest you. There are many people who are in non-sexual relationships which can be just as satisfying as the norm. By the sounds of things (from what you've said about your previous encounter with another guy) you haven't met the right person yet, this doesn't make you asexual. It could take months or years (hopefully not years) before you meet somebody who you could have a potential relationship with. At 22 you're still young I'd say, so just enjoy life now whilst you can before getting into the complexities of relationships :wink:

I appreciate you keeping me grounded! It's easy to run away with certain concepts isn't it :')

And thank you for your compliment, it doesn't happen often so it was lovely of you to say so :smile:
Original post by Ridingmyego
That's completely understandable. It is, after all, an important component to the majority of adult relationships. So thank you for saying so. Do you mind me asking why you think you'd feel more secure?

because I know if I was to leave them for a month or so for work reasons let's say they wouldn't cheat on me :wink:
or if they went on the lads holidays with their friends I'd be able to trust them!

Both great points! But what about them being a virgin initially before giving it to you, I assume that's a major put-off?

When offering a gesture, I prefer to give plants rather than flowers. My sister thinks I'm crazy :')


Flowers are plants babes

I find it ridiculous the number of labels there are for the way you feel about someone, why can't it all just be labelled as love and that be the end of it?


Posted from TSR Mobile


Most people don't do that.

I love my family
I love my partner
I love my best friends

You give these three sentences to most people, and most people will automatically be defining it as different. It's natural to define and label your feelings. It gives you a better understanding of how you feel.

No, not at all. I don't see why it would matter really, it has to be given to someone :wink: Most TSR members would say they want someone experienced but in reality they'd take anything with a pulse.
