ROFL!

Hmmmm,
hormonal deficiency coupled with burn out from hypersexualized society....

Ok, that's my guess.

I kinda envy them though.

Less sex, more time to dance :)

Keith Walker of Texas was married for four years, but said he had sex only a handful of times. "I really had no real interest or desire for sex. It was certainly nothing that I would ever think to do."

Pffftt. I'll bet he can lift 300lbs with his left arm though.

The mark of great art is its universal message.

[Maximus of Texas]

"I don't really see any difference between our relationship and other people's relationships, except you know, we don't have sex,"

And she is insinuating we do?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

You know, I read the article and thought about life without sex.

OMG, it was the scariest image EVER!!!

[TXBubba]

I was an asexual, but marriage cured me. :-)

Interesting. I think a lot of people find that marriage makes them asexual. ;)

I happen to believe it is possible. In fact I think the Bible says something to this effect also. Something about some men being eunichs because they were made that way.

Computer Geeks do it right, every time.

... unless there's a bug in the script...

[RockinRight]

Without sex, what's the point of dancing?

;-)

[Redcloak]

So what kind of "Hey everyone! Look at me!!!" bumper stickers do asexuals put on their cars? A rainbow flag in shades of gray?

[day10]

See post 27 - pretty much nails it.

[najida]

If I could have sex that was as good as dancing, I would believe in heaven :)

...or breathing

[pcottraux]

COME ON, EVERYONE!!! LET'S MAKE FUN OF THEM!!!!!!

BWAAAH HHAA HAA HAA HAAAA!!!!

[Old Professer]

"Keith Walker of Texas was married for four years, but said he had sex only a handful of times."

Probably got the calluses to prove it, too.

[Chanticleer]

Close.

"I happen to believe it is possible. In fact I think the Bible says something to this effect also. Something about some men being eunichs because they were made that way."

That's a fascinating observation, and you are exactly correct about the biblical reference to eunuchs from birth:

Matthew 19:12 (King James Version)

"For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

[End Times Sentinel]

You know, I didn't read the article, but I think I know that guy.  When I was a senior in high school, I took an advanced placement class at the Community College and this guy used to sit in the back, right behind me.  His name was Donya and he used to pass me Polaroid pictures of himself wearing makeup, naked, with his wand tucked between his legs.

That's what asexual means, right?

That reminds me,
It would be nice to fix martinis tonight.
