| I'm sure at a formal level, asexuals are considered part of the queer communty. That said, the gay villages are so sexualized, it's honestly the last place I'd expect to find an asexual. That's a great point...one that actually makes me, as a lesbian, feel asexual by comparision. I can't stand how ... |

| I've always believed and strived for equality in all aspects of my relationships and I believed that's what my partners wanted as well. I don't wish to dominate the person I love, nor do I wish to be dominated. I don't accept this standard either and I find it to be quite destructive and demeaning ... |

| Everywhere I look, it seems like no one is interested in close company unless one person plays the submissive and the other person plays the dominant. Judging from what I've encountered, the "dominant/submissive" arrangement (and I don't mean BDSM) is the standard that others hold when they're look... |

| Brilliant response, thank you! I hope more people choose to contribute to this with as much thought and depth. I find this apect of the human experience absolutely fascinating. I'm glad I can contribute. One of the hardest and longest lessons I've had to learn is that there rarely is any black and ... |

| Had a discussion with a friend not too long ago, about whether or not asexuals should be considered a part of the LGBTQ community. I've seen them included before as part of the ever-expanding expanded acronym (the longest I've seen is LGBTQQAAI). As much as I am all about inclusiveness, I'm aware o... |

| A discussion on another website led me to post this question to women here: Do You Mark Your Territory? I mean, when you are dating a man, do you purposely leave some of your personal items in his car or home to let other women know that the man is "taken"? Do you look for similar items, as well? T... |

| I took a few lessons but i didnt like the power. I found it too easy to run people over and i didnt trust myself not to. That is so funny! I can't say I haven't been tempted...especially when driving in the city... I'd never hurt a fly, though. People laugh at me when I try to be tough...I've been ... |

The only places I really feel comfortable driving are areas I know REALLY well like the town where I grew up. I currently live in a place where i don't need ... |

As hard as I try to be friends with NT females I find I rarely understand them and often end up erri... |

| As a man, this is a question that kinda vexes me, to a degree. I have noticed that women get married at earlier ages than men do, and in general, mature more quicker and earlier. Is this true? Tell me all about it, this just fascinates me! In my experience, yes and no. For women, it is socially-acc... |

I was in an abusive relationship with a neurotypical woman, so I know these things are so hard from personal experience -- not only to go through when you're in it, but to work to get away from (both getting out... |

| I've decided that I'm just going to start wearing whatever I want. I don't completely conform to fashion trends (nor could I, I'm so clueless), but I do make an effort. I think that I would be a lot happier just developing my own sense of fashion. For example, I've been wanting to wear cowboy boots... |
