It can range from people who don't experience sexual attraction to anyone at all and who don't engage or wish to engage or have a desire to engage in any type of sexual activity. It can be people who are sexually attracted to people some of the time or like myself. As I said earlier, more demisexual and have to build some sort of rapport and get to know somebody before they become sexually attracted to
Hello. Tasha Zague from Switzerland. Yes. This question of identity. And I think the question of identity is sometimes and quite often related to claims and to rates and things like that. Otherwise, if it weren't or if you just want to know who you are in relation to sexuality, being attractive or being active, things like that. Do we have to know exactly who we are? Identity can be something you just feel vaguely. Do we have to know exactly in what category we fit in?

Having these labels to be able to find other people as well with the same experiences can be amazingly helpful and so important in that sort of self acceptance and learning about the self because otherwise she could have gone a her whole life not believing something was wrong with her or doing things that she just didn't want to do because she felt like she had to because that was the norm. So yeah, I think having the label of asexual and a romantic has helped helped her so much. Yeah

But, again, I think the way we kind of expect that everyone must be attracted to somebody or everyone must be gay by hetero or in a relationship or needs to have a rethink because there's a lot of people who are just not in relationships because it's just not for them or who are on the spectrum and don't have have those same feelings or to that extent, as some other people. Yeah, I think we just need a whole rework of that. But thank you
Hello, Charlie. Thank you for the reply. And the thoughts pretty clear. Yes. I understand this idea of labels helping people to understand themselves sells and also to find people who are similar to them. What strikes me, Incidentally, and when you're speaking like that, the norm. The idea of the norm is so strong and that we submit to the norm. Either people claim the norm is there and you have to submit to it. So perhaps some people are very intolerant around you

I know the term asexual I came across it some time ago, I've never spoken to anyone who has told me that there is sexual, and for the most part, I probably have avoided or deliberately or by accident conversations with other people about their sexual desires. I found out a very long time ago that different people are attracted to different people and that people I would find very unattractive are very attractive to other people

And for me, what I consider attraction is I give this scenario like I call it the Bay Watch scenario where imagine you're at the beach and you see this buff guy or this really hot woman in a bikini and they're walking around in slow motion

And I remember being at school when it came to the time when we're at the age where all of my friends suddenly started to fancy people and wanting to date and having places on the walls of people that they were attracted to, and I masked for a lot of the time I put places on the walls that other people put in there and telling people that it's because I was attracted to them and it wasn't at all because other people were attracted to them and I felt broken that I didn't feel any sexual attraction
