| Well for one, you seriously need to spell-check. "Sweeden?" And how about formatting and capitalization? Another point to work on is that not everyone who would want to find out prenatally if their kid will be autistic would do so with the intent to abort. It takes time to find proper schools even f... |

| The Hollywood movie stuff is sexual harassment of talent, and its days are numbered. (You think performers like doing that stuff???) And yes, media violence increases violence in real life, especially when it's divorced from reality (shown as harmless). Some performers *do* like it. Contrary to you... |

| So then! Favorite Evil Team. For me it depends. In the games, the Galactics are made of epic win and ultimate ! !! !!, but pretty much everywhere else, the Rockets rule aaaaallllllll. Probably because most of those other tellings don't have Giovanni running like a scared rabbit once the hero beats h... |

Neon Genesis Evangelion
If you liked those, I suggest Digimon Tamers.
No, I'm not kidding. It was written by the same guy who wrote Lain, and plays out like Eva for ten-year-olds, including some VERY direct references. |

Holden--I know I can orgasm because it's happened when I read stuff. Just not through touch.
Homer_Bob, I already *said* that I have no attraction to anyone and never want to be with anyone. That doesn't make me not horny. |

| But I guess a realistic view of Aspies' lives might be too "boring" to make a movie out of. The thing is that you could say that about anyone. Most people's lives are too boring to make a movie of, so you have to jazz it up. Unfortunately that, to most people, means adding romance. I don't know why... |

| I think if more of this stuff were out in the open we wouldn't have people being forced into it. When's the last time you heard about someone being kidnapped and forced to work in a factory? Surely not very often at all. And if porn had a better reputation, people would go into it more openly, and o... |

| Something else just occured to me. Have you found your clit? My wife hasn't found hers, and I've heard some women don't have one at all, or it's just extremely tiny. From what I've heard, vaginal penetration is okay in sensation, but it's the clitoris that really delivers the pleasure. If you're ac... |

| I think it depends on which "media" you're talking about. On shows, movies, books, comics, games, etc, the loners can just as equally be badass heroes or good-hearted nerds as they can be psycho bad guys. |

| There's a lot more to sexuality than sex drive, despite the name. You can have attraction without a sex drive, and you can have a sex drive without attraction. As stated, I don't even have an interest in SOCIAL intimacy, much less physical. I'm not about to go out and get laid just because I get tin... |

| And most of that stuff's garbage too. Most everything is garbage, it doesn't matter who's behind it. For me it's never mattered what the characters are, it's mattered what they're LIKE. A good character could be a six-headed hermaphrodite from Mars and the audience should still be able to identify w... |

Um no, asexual means that you don't register physical attraction. You still get urges, just not the want to act them out with anyone.
Flirting online doesn't work either. It feels like I'm writing someone else's thoughts, someone I have no connection to and who has no story behind them. |

| I really don't know how people can be influenced by the media when it's people playing characters. It's all so fictionalized that it's hard to see it as any higher-ups making any sort of statements. But anyway, I've also never really identified as female, and I know I wouldn't identify as male eithe... |

| I have absolutely no desire to have sex, or even to fall in love. However, lately I've been horny as hell. I've tried masturbation, but it doesn't feel pleasurable at all (it feels like sticking my finger up my nose, only lower). So what exactly's going on? I'm 28 and never felt like this before, an... |

| Vic Fieger of Dubmarine is absolutely hilarious. The comic is about the employees of a dubbing studio and their strange adventures in and out of the booth. And, as mentioned, he's an Aspie. It's only come up in one strip , with a minor character, but the quirkyness is there in the whole thing. (Also... |
