Hey, updated profile bio and a new banner image too. That's the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania in my banner. I've been there on a few occasions. It's quite lovely. I took the picture in the fall of 2007. It was a wonderful trip.

I'm pulling back from this space for the foreseeable future. I'll be around from time to time but not like I used to be.

So, there are many things about human sexuality that pass me by. I just don't get it. I can understand things abstractly but personal understanding is kind of faded, spotty, and unreliable.

Many of you seem alien to me.

As someone who is asexual and for whom sex (the act of sexual relations between human beings) and sexual desire occupy so little of my being as to be largely non-functional, vestigial entities, there are things that I just don't fully understand.

I'm gray-asexual. Bits and pieces of \"sexuality\" work for brief periods of time for me, sparingly, and to limited effect. I catch threads of understanding in these matters but they are attenuated and often inscrutable to me.

In case it wasn't clear, the word \"sex\" in this post means \"bumping uglies\" to put matters in less delicate ways.
