? I didn't say you'd pissed me off. Right now I absolutely won't reply or comment to anything that makes me angry or combative because my health is in the toilet and I can't handle another drop of stress. So if you see me say anything in someone else's lj, it means I'm not mad about it. :)
Yes, I'm celibate in a way, but that word implies a deliberate choice...let's see...as if someone were to say that a man 'decided' to be gay. Oh wait, here, I have something from asexuality.org that says it so I don't have to.
"Unlike celibacy, which is a choice, asexuality is a sexual orientation."
I'm not asexual by choice but by nature. I've never felt physically attracted to anyone in my life...I'm just not capable of it, for whatever reason. I'm only ever interested in things mentally...which is propbably why i've only ever been able to have odd little 'crushes' on imaginary guys (cartoons and characters). It's different than being gay or bi or whatever, of course...it's much more...flexible perhaps. It'd take a long time to explain it and typing really hurts, so if you're curious it'd be better to go to asexuality.org and read the faqs.
I was just commenting on what you said about sex being an all-pervasive motivator, which I think is absolutely true and is, for me, extremely frustrating. It even makes some of the stories I'd like to write useless except as personal entertainment because no one is interested in characters who aren't interested in sex.
