I totally agree with the idea of asexuality. Having experimented in my younger years and basically coming to a bisexual conclusion, then actually getting married in my 20's, had the 2 kids and now.....asexual. What I really wonder if it as because of the "over sexed" media we are faced with everyday. Maybe it is because it is no longer something taboo or interesting because it is thrown in our faces over and over again.
I know I have little to no interest in sex with anyone, either gender. I could care less (i feel sorry for my poor husband but am thankful he has no interest lately either due to medication side effects!) Even though I am currently in a sexless relationship, we are still happily married (9 years!) and have a very strong emotional bond. It is possible to have a deep relationship that is not based on sex.
Thanks for posting that article. YAH!
as far as coming out to you family I have no advice. I wish you the best of luck on that one. I hope it is something they can understand. BIG HUGS!
