...and I have something to tell you all.

A few of you know this about me, but most of you don't.

I am Asexual. Also known as "Ace." To be more accurate, I am an aromantic asexual.

What does that mean? Basically, I am not physically or romantically attracted to ANYONE, regardless of gender (I can recognize that someone is "good looking," but to me, it's no different than saying "that puppy is cute" or "that painting is pretty"). I do not feel any need or desire to have sex or be in any type of romantic relationship. I have known this about myself for most of my life, but didn't have a name for it until about a year ago.

Asexuality has only recently begun to be accepted as a legitimate sexual orientation. It's estimated that about 1% of people are asexual.

Before you say "oh how sad" know one thing: I am perfectly happy and proud to be what I am. Friendship is my "ideal relationship." Romance and sex, to me, is rather baffling. I don't get it, but if you guys enjoy it, fine by me. I would be miserable in a romantic relationship.

I don't have a "hormone problem." I was never abused or assaulted. I am not "scared" of being in a relationship. I am not celibate - celibacy is a choice, asexuality is no more a choice than any other sexual orientation. I am not a prude - sex doesn't bother me, I'm just not interested. I don't need to "get out more" and it's not that I "haven't met the right guy."

This is just the way I am.
