I'm the same age as you and women certainly weren't widely believed to be asexual when I was young!Perdita Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883489064497960963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915942954402781501.post-71020113110260765072016-05-04T22:47:41.654+01:002016-05-04T22:47:41.654+01:00In the 60's and 70's that's when sex r...In the 60's and 70's that's when sex really became ... overt, partly due to the pill. And it was thought to be "new". Sex is on cave walls, Roman brothel ruins, the Lady of Cyprus ... My Mum was openly sexual, and made a big thing of it, my Dad quietly so. And it influenced me.

I have never asked anyone about their sexuality because it has either been obvious or more often ... irrelevant. Our experiences are different Ian. I was never told 0.5 of the population was asexual, and at a relatively early age, my small scale empirical studies would have rejected this hypothesis if it had been presented.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695433063534311112noreply@blogger.com
