EvilNob: I need a friend like him. As an asexual woman, no matter how oft I tell that I’m not into relationships, especially sexua1 ones, the only male response is “lol you should just try it with me and you will be cured”. I’m tired of it. It’s not a sickness that is curable by seX. I just want to have friends.
