Being Asexual
From The Extended Group
Once thought to mean an unhappy existence, 'being asexual,' though rarely physically attainable, is an emotional ritual that many a college student undergoes periodically. The average period of asexuality for college students can range from two weeks to one's entire college lifespan (which in itself can vary from 2-5 years).
Types
Voluntary asexuality
Usually undertaken for health, academic, or other reasons. This form of asexuality is usually the more benign of the two. It is often counteracted by time, social interaction with the attractive sex (especially in the presence of alcohol), and increased apathy towards academics. Many who have taken this "hiatus" from the usual sexual orientation have found it a refreshing means of "lining up one's ducks in a row" (presumably for someone to shoot them down again?).
Involuntary asexuality
The more sinister form of asexuality, involuntary asexuality is usually brought on by other diseases, either psychological, psychosomatic or just plain psycho. These could range from chronic bad breath and general uncleanliness to depression and even antisocialness.
