This is how the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) defines it:

I hope this helps.

Hi, having only read part of this thread and deleting the rest--can someone
tell me what 'a-sexual' is? Private is okay if everyone else has read all
the messages and already knows what it means!
Thanks, and I thought the 'grip' thing was funny too! It indeed 'lightened'
the mood! take care,

Dana and ?

Stacy I wasn't implying that para's have it easier I was just saying if I
had a good "Grip" I could help myself!
It was a joke, just trying to relieve this tension oops there I go again
being funny!
I really miss a good healthy sex life but life goes on.

It seems that us para's have just of a hard time getting a date though. At
least that rings true for me.

That's funny Houston this is the first I've heard of a-sexual in my 5 short
years as a quad.
It does seem to me that a para would have a better sex life than a quad
though after all they have a bette! r "grip" than quads do lol!

Just a little light humor folks while discussing this sensitive issue.

Like when I was in Partners class a few yrs back. Was the 1st time that I'd
heard A-sexual which I had to ask the meaning of it 2 be sure. Now my cousin
that's a Para which was pretty much 1 of few people with a disability that I
was in contact with growing up at the time I was an AB. He always had
girlfriends had 2 children by 2 different women than got married and had 2
kids with his wife. So I'd never thought about sexual issues with
paralization until I got paralyzed than found out that I'd been way off by
a-s-s-u-m-i-n-g I should've been more inquisitive and a! sked questions back
then. I still need 2 do some more research into SCI's and sex, especially
since I'm asked more & more by new SCI's I'm coming into contact with. I
joke my way through it tell them what little I know & what I've heard from
others. The relationship issue I tell them it's pretty much the same as life
and their injury different with each person.

Hey Stacy,

I've come to the conclusion that people just don't think we're even
interested in a relationship.

Nobody thinks I'm interested in a sex life so no need for a relationship in
their eyes.



Mark
It's statements like what Mark said that makes me realise just how lucky I
am to have Steve, someone who knows I'm interested, but also knows of my
fears and uncertainties and acts with those in minds.
