Because, really, I tend to not have sex with people I have an emotional connection to. They aren't as physically attractive to me anymore.
Huh. I think I'm the opposite of ita on this.
When I play FCM, I have to imagine that I'd hang out with the F person a while so I'd get to know them first.

I have rather dramatic commitment issues. The idea of being needed freaks me out a great degree. So the less opportunity for that to happen, the better.
Also, there are some people I figure would ruin a good, shallow, thing they got going on by actually talking, and I should forestall that with nookie.
In the real world, people talk. And connect. It's unfortunate.
Speaking of sex, this is the one book I was disappointed I couldn't get at BEA: a book of essays about sex by women writers and edited by Erica Jong, who also contributes. She was right there! I could see her! But you needed a ticket to get in line to have a galley autographed, and I didn't have one.
As much as I had The Trauma over watching New Who because of the whole romance thing, having gone back and rewatched the Who of my Youth... I'm not sure how so many Ace peeps see the Doctor as one of them in most of his regenerations.
Sheldon Cooper he isn't.
Erica Jong: The zipperless fuck. Man, what a great idea.
Okay, I gotta go buy some terabytes and then come back and write a project proposal.
Sheldon Cooper he isn't.
It is official that Sheldon is ace? I kind of don't want him to be, because I don't like seeing non-NT and asexuality conflated. But we've had this discussion.

That said, if he is ace, the degree to which I *really* am Sheldon is amusing.
OMG, PEDANT. YOU CAN WIN, OKAY???? I read the book when I was 10. What do I know?

It's pretty strongly implied, even if they don't give him the official stamp.
And, as you know Bob, I agree!
ita, if you need a word, it's probably just aromantic sexual. Which is two words, I know.
