I’m actually worried that the article may say that Asexuality is an orientation in Russian and there was a translation problem when the English version was written.
With just a quick look, I can tell you that the same problems are present in the Russian. “Асексуалы - люди, которые отказались от секса добровольно - каждый по своим причинам, у каждого - свои...

Please Stop Asking the Impossible →
One of the fun things about being a webmaster or webmistress is seeing the searches that bring people to the site. Asexual News is still small enough where this can occur. (There’s a about 843 different key phrases used this month according to Advanced Web Statistics.) Sometimes it is frustrating.

I found this on a blog that I shall not name. It doesn’t matter. It’s just someone’s opinion:

When people say it’s due to misogyny, what they mean is,...

Relationship Therapist Advice to a Sexual/Asexual... →
The only issue I personally took with this is the old and often repeated line that a person should rule out medial issues before declaring their Asexuality. It seems that many people giving this advice seldom realize that Asexuals have already been through this process for themselves.
Edit: I missed *this* little gem: The criterion that separates an intimate relationship from all others is the...

Don't Know How to Feel About This
I run in Asexual circles. I also run in smaller transgendered circles. I’m not a journalist or an activist in the latter. (It’s not that I couldn’t be, but it’s just something I’d rather not have people find out about me in meat space just yet.) However, there are some tendencies of the people in the trans circles that are getting on my nerves.
The first is the...

Bisexuality exists…
”A recent study has, at least, confirmed the existence of Bisexual people.”
Yes, technically it confirmed the existence of bisexual men. I also need to include a link to it.

A. Because even Virgins were saying the Earth was shaking.

Polygamy and Polyamory
This post should be seen as nothing other than my opinion. Other members of the staff do not agree with me on this, nor do I think they share my confusion. Polygamy has gotten a bad rap. It’s gotten a bad rap for a good reason. Many people associate the modern practices with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (I will use the term Fundamentalist Mormons to...

An inappropriate reaction to the Earthquake
Earthquakes don’t happen very often on the East Coast. They happen vary rarely, in fact. I could before today say I’d never been through one. I always thought of them as noisy, scary affairs where the ground rumbles and the Earth shakes. Of course, this may be because my perceptions of the events are based on movies rather than the reality. I think it’s cool.
In fact, it was so...

I can't believe I did this
When I posted the recent Salon interview with David Jay, I actually intended for the link to go to Salon.com. It seems that the links got mixed up somehow. While I’m not above promoting Asexual News in this manner, it was not my intent here. I rightly thought people would be more interested in the interview itself and not what someone else had to say about it. I’m not even sure if I...

I can only imagine that there are people who know a lot more about this topic than the Asexual news staff.
vladdraculea asked: In your article about David Jay interviews, you wrote "Not only is there no evidence of this as of now, there is now evidence to suggest that the rates of trauma and mental illness are the same among Asexuals as they are amongst the rest of the general population." This is awesome news! Do you have a link to the study? I'm sorry to be so behind the times with this, but this means...

Salon.com interviews David Jay →
I think it’s just me, but I thought this woman’s writing style ruined this piece. I also think she’s confusing Abstienence with Asexuality. The two often occur together, but they are not the same thing.

It would be great to hear what you think problems that asexuals face are. Since you’ve all heard what I think (lol) These can be in general, from the “sexual world”, from your community (e.g. religious, queer) or from the asexual community.

So, what problems have you faced/do you think asexuals face?
