| To paraphrase an old saying, the only thing necessary for evil to proliferate is for its victims to do nothing. Sure, crimes should not be committed in the first place; but once committed, crimes and the people who commit them should immediately be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.[/colo... |

| The community college I go to is really small, this is a rural place. I have talked to the head of special populations because apparently there was a club like this a few years ago but everyone maintaining it graduated so it was disbanded. I was hoping to have this as a sort of support group for stu... |

| If your partner's porn viewing habits make you uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form, you need to approach the subject with them. If it makes you uncomfortable, then it is a problem that needs to be addressed. Maybe you can ask why they watch porn themselves (because you aren't going to get their... |

| I like the idea of Black Friday. Not so much on how it actually works. I participated (a little) this year. Went to a local store around 7:30 on Thursday night (they started the sales early). I mostly hung around the clothing section because I was actually there to buy pajama pants. Ended up buying ... |

| I have this :) Numbers are colored to me, as are letters. Music is very colorful, and sometimes voices are too. When it comes to voices, the majority of the time that I see colors is when I find them grating or annoying (my brother's voice as a child was a striking white line that made it almost imp... |

| I've met NTs who are either asexual or are totally willing to forgo sex in a relationship. They seem to be few and far between, but I also don't talk to people a whole lot so that could be skewed. I am wanting to find someone who feels the same way as you do towards the issue if possible. The people... |

I also love model kits and puzzles. Anything that gives me a challenge in that manner. |

| I have wondered if it was a form of asexuality before. I am not really interested in full on therapy or anything, I was hoping anyone else who dealt with these feelings might have some input if they managed to get used to touching and such. About it being asexuality though- I'm hesitant to say "asex... |

| Zarok- thanks for the input. I am not really interested in real life roleplay, however. It's only an online thing. Saxifraga- I feel the same way towards most "social" touching (like very quick hugs, back pats, handshakes). I'm OK with them as long as I know they're coming and I know the person. I'v... |

| It tends to be less acceptable when you're interacting on a one-to-one basis with an individual, so my general tactic in such situations is to choke down the noise until the feeling goes away, while maintaining eye-contact with the other person and adopting a facial expression indicating profound r... |

I am only just now becoming a bit self-conscious about the sounds because I only recently realized that I even made them. I'm glad to hear that it's not somethin... |

| I'm not really sure how to handle this. It's a problem I've always had- at times when I am taken off guard or if I am very frustrated, I cannot speak in words, and instead make a noise. It's like the air and energy to say words to express my feelings builds in my chest, but my tongue and brain canno... |

I'm interested in their personality and their body design in general. I'm not sure about a phase- I've been like this ever since I can remember (without the sexual aspect until a few years ago).
Yes, I'm actually involved with animation right now. |
