Study: One in 100 adults asexual

Study: One in 100 adults asexual. Oh man! Finally, I have an identity. I want my own coming-out day, and someone better get on creating our own symbol.

First of all, is it just me, or are disturbing number of people voting on this? Secondly, the heteros are losing ground to the bisexuals as the day goes on. 5% asexual? That's huge!

Wow. That's incomprehensible to me. And, by this page, you mean my page or the CNN article?

I wouldn't read too much into that poll. Such a poll is likely to spread around g/l/b/t/a communities. However, it's far less likely that straight people would email it around or put it on their weblogs, since straight people rarely make an issue out of their sexuality or build up a community based upon it. That means that it's heavily biased against heterosexuals.

Of course, web polls are inaccurate to begin with, but this is something that vastly overshadows the usual inaccuracies.

I am an asexual and am proud of it. You know how they have gay pride parades? Well, they should have asexual parades. I think all of that sexual crap is sickening. There should be an international asexual day. I believe one sould be one's friend, not one's partner.
