I agree, with the variety of asexual labels, it's so tempting to pin yourself down into something rediculously small and fussy. Clarissa, I completely agree, asexuality is mostly an external label to validate yourself to the world, and we have to wonder why we keep trying to find smaller and smaller boxes that members of the public would find impossible to understand.<br />In this post, I tried to play with that idea, and it's actually liberating for me to call myself demisexual grey-a, because it breaks down some of the boxes, and I'm left still with flexibility within my label.SlightlyMetaphysicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891271827553008521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343911386688836644.post-20481129665755662872009-09-17T09:03:00.884-07:002009-09-17T09:03:00.884-07:00This is certainly an interesting perspective (and ...This is certainly an interesting perspective (and I've come here from Queers United btw *waves*). <br />I also sort of agree with Queers United about the "Don't pressure yourself too much on a label" thing. <br /><br />I was always happy just being who I was, and it was only the pressure of society - the constant "so, still no one special in your life? What do you mean, you're a virgin, you must be kidding!" from people around me that made me "adopt" the asexuality label, because it helped me explain who I was to THESE PEOPLE, and I could go "look, I'm not alone" to them. I certainly know that in my head it's slighly more complex than that, without having a need to find an EXACT label for it. <br /><br />So yeah.

Labels are for clothes after all, we as humans are too complicated for these specific identities. We transcend so many of the labels put on us. Is a jock only into sports, no many have other hobbies and interests. Is a gay person only sexual and doesn't think of anything else, again no. <br /><br />Btw great blog I spotlighted you on mine today.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343911386688836644.post-87945917317463802692009-09-14T04:21:30.644-07:002009-09-14T04:21:30.644-07:00Congratulations on figuring yourself out more.

I sometimes wonder if I'm somewhere between asexual and celibate, because once in a while I'll have feelings that could possibly be sexual - but I know I still don't want to act on them. Once you've found the nice little category of 'asexual' for yourself, I agree it's hard to keep questioning yourself to find out if you truly fit, when it's nice to feel like you belong somewhere. <br />Also thanks for the link *hands cake* :)Sabrielhttp://tofindmywings.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343911386688836644.post-61249396470092649252009-09-06T09:11:11.601-07:002009-09-06T09:11:11.601-07:00i enjoy your blog very much. it's refreshing!
...i enjoy your blog very much. it's refreshing!<br /><br />"I’m not afraid of it, since a couple of my friends came out, guys dating has been the most natural thing in the world, but maybe those who exist between the binaries, bisexuals and asexuals, often find themselves going with the ‘right’ sex, to satisfy their ingrained homophobic socialisation"<br /><br />I'm glad for you! But I, on the other hand, have few friends in general and whom happen to be "out" so I still have a fear. But really the larger issue for me is that I haven't really got around to sorting my feelings by myself without my thoughts being tainted by intellectual ideas, labels and theories, about sex and sexuality.raymohttp://buddhasareasexual.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
