	Can someone explain to me asexual and metrosexual?! Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

As if homo, hetero, bi, trans, weren't enough -sexual, what are these terms asexual and metrosexual?

The only people I know who call themselves asexual are pre-pubscent boys or ones that probably didn't figure out puberty right and happened to IM me years ago when I was younger.

As for metrosexual, I believe it has something to do with the social blending traits of the sexes male and female (not to be confused with transexual and hermaphrodite).... am I right?

Asexuals are those who claim to have renounced sex -- whether or not they're being honest, is another issue.

Metrosexuals are those who pratice hygene methods to such an extent, that they look like live plastic Kens and Barbies.

metrosexuals are men who are obsessed with fashion and dressing/grooming nicely.

asexual is me . Of course I'm not being honest. I wish I could swear off women, but it is harder- pun intended- than you would imagine.

Or "the intersex" to use a medical term. Basically a hermaphrodite by birth, someone born with both sets of genitals. In the west most of them are operated in early childhood to one of the two sexes, usually girl.

if you are born with both sets of genitals, which one is on top? or do they overlap? can you insert one into the other?

Don't ask how I know this.

They definately overlap and you'd be hard pressed to insert one into the other, but the important thing is that the amount each genital appears depends on various factors. In mild cases it can manifest itself as merely a split at the base of the penis or a slightly enlongated clitoris... For a fully fledged intersex you're going to have to think of the Penis and Clitoris being analogous organs (with the latter being split in the middle and largely inside the body) and go from there.

Metrosexuals are not necessarily closeted gays -- there are true straight men who maintain the appearance of being live plastic Kens.

Why do you suppose hermaphrodites are always born sterile, wouldn't it be interesting if they could breed a subspecies sortof?

"Act" gay??

What do you mean by that??
There are gays who are feminine and there are gays who are masculine. So I'm not sure what you mean by "act" gay.

I just meant that metrosexuals may fall into some gay stereotypes.

A metrosexual is a straight man who is "in touch with his feminine side". Perhaps that is a better definition.

Aw, come on Mr. Fun, you know exactly what people mean when they talk about acting gay. Of course there are exceptions that don't speak or act the stereotypical gay way but you have to reckon that we are quite a lot of people, heteros as well as gays, who can tell if somebody's gay or not.

I see -- so you're talking about the stereotypical images.

Yeah, as Monk said, SOME gays fall into this stereotype.

Apparently, Howard Dean is a metrosexual. Although when he admitted to being one, I am not sure he knew what the word meant. LOL

there is nothing new about being a metrosexual back in the 19th century they simply called them Dandy's

asexuals are those who say they have transcended the physical need propably because they can't get any.

asexual doesn't mean they have renounced sex, asexual is someone who is just not sexually attracted to anyone.

yeah I think that is correct. I think I have heard of women who aren't interested in sex at all. Hillary Clinton is one of them.

Judging from the substractional "a" that preceeds the word I'd say they are well asexual, non sexual.

Asexual is an genderless organism. Say, an amoeba.

Yep any word which is preceeded by a substractional "a" opposes/negates the meaning of what follows. From ancient greek till now.
