I know a woman online who has declared herself asexual. What she seems to mean by that is that she does not want to be involved in any relationships right now. Would she engage in sex? Who knows?
Some people can indulge in sex without emotional attachment, some can’t. We talk about sex positivity, yet the more I
watch people the more I realize how fragile many people are in any sort of
interaction with other people, particularly interactions involving feelings –
especially sexual feelings.
That accepted…one might understand people who opt for no
relationship—or one relationship only.
People don’t want to be hurt. And
even people who have found a fulfilling relationship have usually gone through
several unsatisfactory ones along the way.
“You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.”
Of course, the “casual sex” people probably won’t have these problems.
Me, though – I’m an outgoing person who enjoys physical contact and
deep emotional sharing. And I suspect
many polys are this way. And somehow we
are open to the possibility of….having this kind of relationship with more than
one person simultaneously.
We simply have to find our way to learning how it’s done!
