Asexuality

Another grouping discovered (Asexuals?)...interesting. I can hear someone saying-now I know what's wrong with me. On the other hand I can see a lot of people being treated as if they are some three headed monsters for daring to admit that sex is not a turn on. And for sure they will be looked at as weird beings because after all this is the sexually liberated age and people as a rule have a hard time dealing with differences that are outside of the main stream.

One per cent of adults 'asexual'

Around one per cent of adults have absolutely no interest in sex, a surprisingly high figure that is not far from the estimated three per cent of the population who are gay, according to a new study.

The analysis reported in New Scientist magazine looked at responses made among 18,000 people in Britain who were interviewed about their sexual practices.

One per cent said they agreed with the statement: "I have never felt sexually attracted to anyone at all".

That study, conducted by Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist and human sexuality expert at Brock University in St Catherines, Canada, is published in the latest issue of The Journal of Sex Research.

The British survey was carried out in 1994 as part of a study into sexual practices.

"If asexuality is indeed a form of sexual orientation, perhaps it will not be long before the issue of 'A' pride starts attracting more attention," New Scientist said.

Plucky activists have already started campaigning to promote awareness and acceptance of asexuality, it reports.

One such group, the Asexual Visibility and Education Network has an online store selling T-shirts bearing such slogans as "Asexuality: it's not just for amoebas any more".
