Asexual

[Stephanie]

Some people say they can live without sex. My question is
Do you think sometime in your life u can live without sex

Yep. Whenever I'm not working x

It's refreshing to give my mind and body over to other pursuits : sports , Spa - meditation , adventure travel ,

cultural / intellectual pursuits xx

Walk around strange new cities , discover unknown corners of the world on my own , without having to consider a

partner's needs and wants.

Rock climbing , mountaineering , horseback riding , all so encompassing ! Or even a beach holiday -- it's all about

me me me ! At rest x

All the more energy and hunger when I return each time , to Dub

look at them monks and nuns, they have to do without, if you never had you never missed...

As you get older you lose your sex drive so in time i will have to live without, not getting much at the minute anyhow.

I listened to the whole interview this morning I mentioned above:

Both guest who identified themselves as asexual made a distinct difference between celibacy vow and personal absent by choice (Stephanie, I take note of your input) and people who are asexual are like hetro/homo/bi.

They made the point that you know your asexual like you know your hetro/homo/bi and would class it as a fourth sexual preference.
Both guest were frustrated by text question(e.g. have u ever had a orgasm?) during the interview and both had been labelled gay in the past as they weren't interested in the opposite sex and mentioned some asexual people are sent for test to check there hormone levels as they were been treated like something was wrong with them....
One of the female guest was open about having relationship in the past with both sex and currently in a same sex relationship.

They did make the point you may still be attracted to someone but there is not sexual desire.

Alot of the problem both guest seem to have was the lack of education re. Asexual preference.

I'd admit i am uneducated as well in this matter and I'm open for correction on all of this.

I checked and the interview hasn't been made into a podcast yet but you can playback the whole show. Listen to the second half (roughly) of part 1 and the interview is finished in part 2

....I cannot imagine even retirement without sex or at least a wank fest every day! kill me now please.

This bit I am not so sure about. While some people have an active sex life into their seventies, frequency declines radically and I am not sure many have an active sex life in their eighties - and a lot more of us will now live into our eighties. So, I think you will live without sex.

What is, in some ways, more interesting is to ask how distressing that will be. For me the 'meaning of life' has a lot to do with sex. Im not sure how meaningful life will be without it. What's the point, if its not sexual union ? Art ? Politics? Money? yawn!

An a-sexual life seems to me a life full of self-delusion that other crap is interesting. The great thing about sex is it just IS interesting ....for someone with a sex drive.

Worth distinguishing sex from intimacy

i can go months without sex but crave intimacy

When both are wonderful, marry him or her!

I am a fan of all your contributions here. However, if you are seriously saying that the only sex and companionship that you enjoy in your life is with clients, maybe it is time to take a long break. I just think that it is dangerous for any of us to rely too much on the client/escort relationship.

I do not think that age itself is as big a factor as general health and fitness in your capacity for sex. I think that if the rest of your body is working well, your cock will be also. One of the issues of growing older is that you have to work harder at taking care of your body.

Probably when I'll be too old to have sex...
