Marcia Wall said...: So I am a lesbian and hetero-romantic asexual at the same time? Why do we presist in these lables? Each individual has his or her own brand of sexuality. Everything else is a social construction.; March 6, 2009 at 3:08 PM
Queers United said...: I guess you could look at it that way and adopt both labels. Some people like labels, others feel labels are for clothes. I'd suggest calling or not calling yourself whatever makes you happy.; March 6, 2009 at 4:10 PM
Queers United said...: I should say that the term has only been used thus far to describe asexuals who experience no sexual attraction but are romantically attracted to the opposite sex.; March 6, 2009 at 4:12 PM
