Seemed to be enough want for it, so... fire away!
Do you have no sexual desires at all? Or is it just a "not interested in other human beings" thing?
Are you sexually excited by any kind of inappropriate contentography? Do you touch? Do your organs function 'normally'?
(sorry for the personal questions, but I'm really not that familiar with asexualism and honestly interested in the answers. =))
I don't intend to have a family at this point, but if I somehow ended up married I'd rather have my own kids.Do you intend on having a family? If so, would you want to adopt or father them yourself?
I'm very much a guy, though I haven't been checked. I have not considered being a monastic. I don't see the point.They say that men who don't have sexual attraction tend to have very high estrogen rates and low testosterone rates. You may just have a hormonal problem. Your lucky though in some ways since men(and women) struggle allot with things like fornication and adultery. have you considered becoming a monastic?
A. I'm a bit of a loner, but I don't need to be one. Having friends is nice.Do you desire/pursue non-sexual relationships (eg. friendships)?
Do you consider it possible for someone who is asexual to still want a family?
Both, probably not.Paul seemed to suggest that those that could forgo sex/marriage were more free to serve the Lord.
Does your asexualism seem a burden or a freedom? Would you change if you could?
It's a two way street. I don't really understand sexual people all that well myself, what I do know is from all the traditions and media which are all about sex. I'm not especially curious to be strongly sexual...I imagine it'd be a real hassle.I personally find this idea very alien, I'm kind of the opposite of an asexual (I very recently did a devotional to Aphrodite) so the concept of someone who doesn't feel lust is very odd to me.
Are you curious to see the world from the POV of someone who feels things like this all the time?
It's not quite the same, since asexual are often not believed, and also not gay they're just seen as the default.Would you comfortable being considered queer?
No, kids are ok. I work with kids at church. I'd rather work with adults, though.If you've no desire to have a family, do you 'hate kids'? I mean, do you dislike being around them?
Romantic asexuals exist, but they do not want sex. They will not want it for themselves, otherwise they're not asexual. If they do it, it's because they want to please the other person. Asexaul + Non-asexual couples? Depends on the people, but often it can end in ruin.What are your views on asexuals that are romantic and desire an intimate relationship, if at least for the emotional aspect of it? Is it feasible, or will it ultimately not work out? What if one partner is not asexual?

It can definitely get in the way sometimes but I wouldnt trade it for all the tea in China The intensity of experiences is amazing.It's a two way street. I don't really understand sexual people all that well myself, what I do know is from all the traditions and media which are all about sex.

Thanks for your thoughts.Romantic asexuals exist, but they do not want sex. They will not want it for themselves, otherwise they're not asexual. If they do it, it's because they want to please the other person. Asexaul + Non-asexual couples? Depends on the people, but often it can end in ruin.
It's feasible, but there will be struggles, just like in any marriage.
