What's it Like to be Asexual?

[marginlized]

11. Asexuality is sort of like a volume on the Kinsey Scale

It doesn't determine who you prefer, it's how strong your urge for sex is. A popular logo intended to illustrate this point is a triangle with color (for sexual attraction) only showing in the lower portion, i.e. like the volume is turned down. It definitely adds a new axis to your idea of the Kinsey scale. But I'm sure it's not the only other possible axis people haven't discussed much yet.

I love asexuality because it shows, fundamentally, that homosexuality is not about sex. Asexuals are still gay, straight, bi, etc. Just without the sex. I know, wrap your head around it. And many romantic asexuals want the same life long, till death do us part, monogamous, relationships just like everyone else, but without the sex.
