i figured, hey, while we're on the subject, why the hell not :mrgreen:?

I thought this was interesting...figured somebody else might too! It seems there's actually a pride movement afoot!

LONDON, England (CNN) -- About one percent of adults have absolutely no interest in sex, according to a new study, and that distinction is becoming one of pride among many asexuals.

The new study was conducted by Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist and human sexuality expert at Brock University in St. Catherines, Ontario.

It was published in the latest issue of The Journal of Sex Research and is the focus of a report in this Saturday's issue of New Scientist.

Bogaert's analysis looked at responses to another study in Britain, published in 1994. That study was based on interviews of 18,000 people about their sexual practices.

It offered respondent a list of options. One read: "I have never felt sexually attracted to anyone at all." One percent said they agreed with the statement.

That response level is close to the percentage of gay people in the population, which is around three percent, the New Scientist report says.

New Scientist says such studies offer insights into sexuality, the results remain controversial. "The closest we have got to understanding human asexuals comes from studies -- mostly surveys - of people who report not have sex," it says.

A 1994 survey, published by The University of Chicago Press, found that 13 percent of 3,500 respondents had no sex in the past year. Forty percent of those people said they were extremely happy or very happy with their lives.

"If asexuality is indeed a form of sexual orientation, perhaps it will not be long before the issue of 'A' pride starts attracting more attention," New Scientist says.

Activists have already started campaigning to promote awareness and acceptance of asexuality, it reports.

The Asexual Visibility and Education Network has an online store that sell items promoting awareness and acceptance on asexuality.

Among the items is a T-shirt with the slogan, "Asexuality: it's not just for amoebas anymore."

Lets put it to an early vote Bush or Kerry? (open to all nations). :wink:

I was talking to a friend whom I hadnt spoken to in a long time, I asked him what he thought about In Between Evolution, being a long time Hip fan I was surprised to hear him say he thought Gord Downie's voice sounds like s**t now. What do you think of Gords voice? Better, same or worse? Anyone......... hock:

I bought one of these for taping shows , anyone have any experience with these ? I need to buy a mic, but don't know which one to get, any advice as to which are the best ? I'm going to see Garnet Rogers (folk singer) tomorrow night , so I want to get a mic by then, i've heard binaurals are good . Does anyone know what brand is decent or even where to pick some up ? Future Shop and A&B sound have nothing of the sort. Any advice/tips or opinions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
