Peaceandlove67 Article: Asexual preguntas frecuentes Blog

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on preguntas I'm frequently asked about being asexual. As I mentioned in the Introduction Blog, I am asexual. I first discovered that when I was fourteen. I was bullied in school because of it. If you're not sure what asexual is, this should educate you, (I hope). Here it goes.

1. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean tu don't date?
A: No. All asexual means is that you're not sexually attracted to anyone. Romance is totally different. Some asexuals are aromantic, but some of them are romantic. Romantically speaking, I could go either way, but I prefer males.

2. Q: Are tu an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If tu want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.

3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are tu lonely?
A: No, I'm not lonely. I have friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more. Honestly, the only reason I haven't dated is I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've had good friends who have been hurt in romance, and I know it could very easily happen to me.

4. Q: How do tu know you're asexual?
A: tu just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, tu know how tu feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells tu otherwise.

5. Q: Do tu think you'll change your mind when the "right person" comes along?
A: No, I won't change my mind. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, not a choice. Besides, the "right person" would understand my needs and desires.

6. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean you're repulsed por sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed por the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.

7. Q: Are tu asexual for religious purposes?
A: No, I'm not even religious. I'm spiritual, though. Asexuality is not celibacy. Celibacy is a choice. Asexuality is not a choice.

8. Q: What is the worst part about being asexual?
A: Probably the ridicule I've faced for it.

9. Q: What is the best part about being asexual?
A: I'm not sure. I guess the fact that it makes tu an individual.

10. Q: Does it annoy tu when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.

I hope tu enjoyed this blog. There are más blogs to come.

Peace and love,
-Antonia

The New Band
One day, Erin, Paul, and I got invited to a party. Our classmate, Lola, invited us. I had my suspicions, considering that she often hung out with popular girls, but Erin pointed out that Lola was always nice to us. We showed up to the party early. Lola was really friendly and let us in. We waited on the other guests to mostrar up, but they never did. I could see that Lola was sad. She felt better when Erin dicho to her, "We like you." Lola then revealed that she plays bajo and always wanted to be part of a band. She had great chemistry with us. I became really close with Lola. It's...

Opening Up to Others
Taking my uncle's advice, I finally decided to let others in. I befriended a boy named Jake. We did a lot of things together. Unfortunately, when we were thirteen, Jake moved away. We kept in touch for a while, but eventually, we lost touch. I don't know what happened. I did befriend some others, but those friendships didn't last long. Just when I'd start to get close with someone, that person would mover away, and we'd lose touch with each other. I never knew why we lost touch. Did their social lives change? Did something happen to them? Did they mover again? I don't know....

Carl Finds Genuine Love
When I was ten years old, my aunt and uncle came for Thanksgiving. My mother cooked dinner. While we were having dinner. I accidentally dropped a piece of turkey in the floor. I picked it up so that we wouldn't have a mess to clean up later. My father said, "You are NOT going to eat that." I said, "No, Father, I was just picking it up so we won't have a mess to clean up later." He said, "Show some respect when tu answer me!" I said, "But I am mostrando respect, sir." He hit me in the head with an empty cerveza bottle. When I came to, my father and uncle were arguing. My...

Erin said, "You're seguro with The Devil Wants Peace." Lola said, "Erin's right. tu don't have to be afraid to tell them." Carl...
