to show I am asexual by wearing a black ring?

[asiatic]

Lots of asexuals wear a black ring on their right middle finger. I'm thinking of getting one. What do you thinK? Have you ever seen anyone wearing one? How would you respond to a policeman, or bus driver or teacher advertising that they are asexual? I'm thinking it might be a helpful message to avoid misunderstandings, or is it something you don't really want to know about a stranger? Would it influence your perception of other aspects of them?

HeteronormativeBuckethead I am totally confused by yuour post. What are you not really convinced by? Are you saying you are not convinced I am asexual??? Are you not really convinced by the existance of asexuals?? or the exostance of black rings?? What makes you think I don't believe in evolution?? If I do or I don't, in what way would that make me more or less likely to be asexual, or more or less suitable to wear a black ring??

A day return to Durham, please, but only if you tell me who you have sex with.

Nah. Can't quite see it happening.

Aah sorry, I missed the post were you said you were a mum. My apologies.

I think you don't believe in evolution because you said this:

I grew up believing 100% inthe theory of evolution, but the more I studied it, the less happy I was that the evidence actually lead irrifutably to the conclusions.

Droves: Well, yes. ANd there is nothing wrong with my hormone levels, either.

Heteronormative, I don't know if the process of natural selection accounts for all aspects of evolution or not, maybe it does, or maybe it doesn't but that is a completely separate thread,

I'm confused about why me saying I don't know about evolution, ( and actually don't think it is particularly important, just interesting) means you are "not really convinced" about me asking for reactions to the idea of asexuals wearing a black ring.

Asiatic - well I'm enjoying reading your views on both this thread and the evolution one. Your perspectives are quite unique and different, and you come across as a bit of an original - which I think's refreshing!

Thank you Animation :)

sbg ...Never said their was any thing wrong with your hormones . Why would you say that ? .

Actually i never said there was anything wrong with the ops either , just that there might have been a small possibility , and that it was worth checking out....like it is for anyone . ( Just making sure its clear. )

As the OP has said that is not the case with her .

Not everyone is a clued up on all things sexual as you are sgb .

Droves: that was a not entirely serious comment following your suggestion that the OP's lack of interest in sex might have a physical cause. It has been suggested to me (not by you) that my lack of interest in heteromonogamy might be an indication of something wrong with me in the past, too...

Sorry sgb ...I misread your meaning

Have you seen this?

I totally think you should get the ring, only if you are comfortable with as you said "advertising yourself". It kind of sucks that heterosexual is considered the default and every other sexuality has to show that they are different in some way, but showing that you are asexual can be helpful to others and yourself. I think getting the ring will make you feel less alone and isolated (if you feel that way) knowing that there are others who wear a the ring.

If I saw someone wearing a black ring on their middle finger, I wouldn't think any different of them. Asexuality is a totally normal thing and it's up to those people to express themselves as they want. You shouldn't judge people based off trivial things like sexual preference.

I haven't seen anything showing why the middle finger is significant. I believe it was a trend in the ace community and it stuck.

ZOMBIE ALERT!!!!!!!!

Blimey, thanks for solving that four year old dilemma.

I can only hope the op wasn't stood outside H. Samuel's all that time, umming and ahhing over a ring purchase for nearly half a decade.

In other pressing matters, has anyone got any advice over that NaffNaff jacket I was thinking of buying back in 1992?

ProfessionalPaint please tell me why you searched for and decided to resurrect a 4 year old thread. What was the point?

Why on earth would you want to advertise your sexual preferences. That's just bizarre to me. What difference does it make to most people you meet & why would you feel the need to make it known

Is there something I should wear to show I'm heterosexual

ProfessionalPaint what on earth are you up to digging up this ancient thread?

I have had a sudden drop in libido but I blame the appearance of DC3. Also DH's wedding ring is black...I wonder if he was trying to tell me something. :o

Yes I know it's a zombie thread.

I remember this thread the first time around. I thought it was a new one when I saw it now.

I mean I remember reading this thread first time around. It's bedtime isn't it?

Yrs
I'm thinking of wearingy middle finger in a raised position just to show my annoyance at a zombie thread resurrection

Thank you for resurrecting this thread I hadn't seen before, some proper lols at some posts.

I've not heard before about this, but don't have a problem with it. I wear a black star charm on my Pandora in solidarity with the old school butchers who had a black star tattooed on their wrists where it could be hidden by a large watch.
Not brushing your teeth has drastic, painful, and expensive results.

Are you scouting out the latest faux shock trend to follow to feel cool and different and a rebel and you're wondering if this is it?

Have "asexual" tattooed on your forehead. That would be truly bold and would combine two rockin anti-hero themes and ensure the most eyeballs your way.

The black ring is not edgy enough.

An old thread? haha!!!
