' Simply feel no desire to do that and I never felt ', said Robin
It's not a question of celibacy, but guidance. Asexuality is not very common, but it isan option of several men and women around the world. In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that 1% of the population is asexual-as is the case of Robin Dibben, of 24years.
"Simply feel no desire to do that and I never felt," he says.
"The closer I got to have sex was when a man asked me for what he described as ' fun '. But my body repelled the idea, and just thinking about it was discouraged rather than excited. "
The Asexual visibility and Education Network, website for the community of asexuals, describes this as "someone who doesn't feel attraction for sexual experience".
That's exactly the feeling of Robin. "When I was growing up, I never bothered with the fact be asexual because I thought I would develop some interest when meet the 'right person '," said he.
"But at the age of 22 years I hadn't kissed anyone, nor was excited or enthusiastic about this idea."
"When my friends began to tell that they were having sex, I thought it was still very young and it didn't look comfortable to me," he explained.
"It's not that I can't do that – everything is perfectly okay with me. But flirting, kissing or view pornography is not something I wake up any fascination. "
The case of asexuals still arouses curiosity and even a bit of prejudice-in addition tomany questions for the person that has this guidance. Therefore, Robin decided todo a podcast to make people aware of what it means to be asexual.
"There is a lack of very large knowledge about asexuality and I've heard lots of people saying that that is a phase '. They say: ' you haven't met the right person and soon will feel that. "
Robin, Thom and Steve make podcast about how the life of a sexless
"I found a very helpful group to talk about it, the Asexual visibility and Education Network (Aven)."
Robin account that met up a couple of asexuals on this virtual network. "I met in this internet forum Thom and Steve. They identify themselves as ' homo-romantic ' and not have any sexual interest in each other. They simply enjoy each other's company, like to spend time together. "
The conversations in the Forum inspired Robin and the couple to create the podcastcalled "Pieces of Ace".
"The three of us decided to create the podcast to talk about how the life of asexual.We have listeners all over the world, "he said.
"I don't feel like I'm missing anything and all of our listeners say the same thing, because it simply never existed. I'm living my life and accepting me for who I am. "
