Gregory's Server@heatherrosejones @anders_von_hadern @vagina_museum That's interesting. If you have the time and willingness I'd like to know what they'd think of asexuality.
If your gender is linked to your sexual desire, then would a lack of one be interpreted as a lack in the other?
@dragonsarecool @anders_von_hadern @vagina_museum Since that isn't the focus of my research activities (despite being asexual myself) any information I'd have on it would be much spottier. Researching pre-modern attitudes toward and understandings of asexuality are complicated (in Western culture and some other cultures) by a confusion with philosophical celebacy, or by a generally sex-negative culture. It can be hard to tease out the threads.
