One of the recents posts in the
asexuality community seems quite apt to me. In it,
nobleplatypus compares sex to kayaking. Read the post.
Now me being fairly asexual, the comparison seems completely logical to me, and very amusing. However, one of the commenters made the point that kayaking and sex are very different, and that the thrill of kayaking can never be as gratifying as an orgasm. This seems to point out the difference between sexual and asexual people to me very well. To many asexual people, sex and/or orgasms aren't such a great thing. We can't understand why sexual people feel they are such great and wonderful things. And vice versa.
