Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on domande 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 te 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 te an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If te want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.
3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are te 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 te know you're asexual?
A: te just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, te know how te feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells te otherwise.
5. Q: Do te 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 da sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed da the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.
7. Q: Are te 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 te an individual.
10. Q: Does it annoy te when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.
I hope te enjoyed this blog. There are più blogs to come.
Peace and love,

Closing
Carl finished telling his story. John said, "This was a very touching story. I understand what you've been through." He wiped a tear from his eye. Peter had been crying, too. He said, "You're living a good life, mate." Stan, who rarely cried, was also crying. He said, "Yes, especially compared to what you've been through." Allen said, "I'm really glad te are living a good life." Erin and Lola hugged Carl. They admired how Ribelle - The Brave he was for telling his story. Erin, of course, sort of knew what he went through. After all, she had been abused da her grandfather. Paul placed a hand on Carl's shoulder and said, "You're a Ribelle - The Brave man, Carl. You're a Ribelle - The Brave man." Carl said, "Thanks for supporting me while I told my story. I'm glad that things have turned out for the better."
THE END
