Would you date an asexual?

I could wait to have sex in any of my relationships but to never have sex? I couldn't be in a relationship without sex. Isn't it because of affection whether it's emotional or physical a couple becomes closer? Isn't that why sex is suppose to be something special, to bond a couple together, to show ultimate affection and care? Of course I do believe there may be a way to show that with out sex but I wouldn't know how. To me, Dating, be good to each other for a long enough time without sex should show that he/she cares, then sex would be the next step.

Just so everyone knows, asexuality is the lack of sexual ATTRACTION, not the dislike of sex, per say. Besides, there are many different levels and intensities on the spectrum. https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpt1/t51.2885-15/e35/924689_994152317304334_2042674096_n.jpg

Thank you, Kyra! You are absolutely right. And after spending so long trying to explain this to some of the people I worked with at Ohayocon, it is nice to see someone who actually outright says it. Yes, Sex positive asexuals do exist and are just as real as asexuals who either have an aversion to it, or even go as far as to demonize sex. (The far latter of which tends to be a very toxic mindset from my experience.)

I forgot that these days you need to carry around a 100 volume encyclopedia set with the 900,000 different sexual variations terms that everyone uses to describe their own special snowflake sexuality.

Vampire Neko that's literally what sexuality is. Everyone has their own branches with different feelings obviously. And Soleil that's because you're a close-minded geek who doesn't want to think of people as their own category. News flash bud. Everyone has their own identity. I'm a proud greysexual. Besides, almost half of the entire human population are a branch of ace/aro ^^ Chocopyro I really want to hug u like seriously. Thank god for people with your mindset :33

Sure everyone is unique (to a limited point, there is still a finite number of variations), just that things are a bit overboard with the shear number of obscure sexual terms people use these days. Much easier to say I like this but don't like that. I've seen the evolution of online dating from the beginning. I remember when people were described as straight, gay or bi and even bi was relatively new as a common term. More and more people used the term bi and it even became "trendy" because guys liked girls that made out with other girls and vice versa. Even technically straight people would pretend to be bi to seem more sexually attractive to the opposite sex who thought it was hot. Which pissed off people who really were bi because it became so trendy that it was assumed that anyone who claimed to be bi was lying. It was around this time that terms like omnisexual and pansexual started popping up as common terms, partially as a way for real bi's to disassociate from the trendy fake bi's. But the common excuse was that "bi" was somehow excluding attraction to cis/trans/hermaphrodite, etc. Which I don't buy because there is no reason for it to automatically be exclusive. It can be assumed that if you are attracted to both sexes, that you are attracted to any mixture of both. If not, then simply say so. But I don't see the need to come out with a new sexual term because of it. It's become that way with everything. Everyone is now the hipster of sexuality. "What's your sexuality?" "Oh, probably something you never heard of." I just explain my sexuality without finding some obscure term that maybe 2% or less of the population has ever heard of. I'm a straight male for all practical purposes though I would rather be a girl for both aesthetic reasons and because I think I would feel more comfortable with myself as a girl. So I'm mildly gender fluid in that sense (I shave all my body hair and have enjoyed dressing as a girl with hair/makeup a few times). I'm attracted to feminine features romantically and sexually. I date/sex girls but would consider a sufficiently feminine boy\cis\trans\hermaphrodite. I've never met a guy so far that I had a physical attraction to. I like sex, alot (high sex drive). I don't have to be in a relationship to have sex or be romantically interested, but I do prefer it. Also, I find romantically emotional intimacy to help the arousal process during sexual intimacy. I prefer to be in a romantic and/or sexual relationship with only one person at a time but I'm willing to compromise for other people. See, much easier than coming up with some obscure sexual term that I would have to explain anyway.
