There are all of four forums on the asexual tag. XD
One thread is really surprising: "Is it possible to be emotionally poly?" It seems baffling to me that this would be . . . baffling. I always thought of non-physical love as just as intense as physical love, and personally preferable.
So there's a bit of the ace perspective: "Sex? Why?" I wonder sometimes if asexuality looks the same to sexual people from the outside as polyamory looks to mono people from the outside.
River: Ha, I've never been asked such forward questions. I'm a fairly private person, but I enjoy informing people, so:
I like being physically comfortable with people I know well, so I'd like one of those relationships where personal space becomes nonexistent. I'm in my first relationship, though (at the tender age of eighteen, I know) so I don't know all that much about myself at this point. Sometimes kissing seems like a good idea to me, sometimes all I can think about is spit (and cooties, ew!). I really don't have much personal information to offer, I'm afraid.
I actually have a lot of ace friends who are very into touch and kissing, and there are ace people who will touch more intimately without it quite becoming sex. And I once read this lovely article about sensual touch and aces who have sex not for the sexual aspect but for the sensation of being close to someone . . . if that makes sense? I wish I could find the article.
