Asexual Visibility and Education Network (Powered by Invision Po Sexual orientation The term sexual preference largely overlaps with sexual orientation, but is generally distinguished in psychological research.[9] A person who identifies as bisexual, for example, may sexually prefer one sex over the other.[10] Sexual preference may also suggest a degree of voluntary choice,[9][11][12] whereas the scientific consensus is that sexual orientation is not a choice.[13][14][15] While sexual orientation is reported primarily within biology and psychology, including sexology, for reports within anthropology and history, including social constructionism, there are other explanations that relate to sexual orientation and culture. Definitions and distinguishing from sexual identity and behavior General Sexual orientation is traditionally defined as including heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality, while asexuality is considered the fourth category of sexual orientation by some researchers and has been defined as the absence of a traditional sexual orientation.

11 Points - A Blog of Lists by Sam Greenspan. Funny lists, movie lists, sports lists, top lists. So, basically, lists. Questions for Sexuals What are you thinking when you find someone sexually attractive?I think, "Hey, this person looks healthy and like we would make healthy, strong babies. Let's do that. Only, y'know, without the "making" or the "babies" part. Not really. That's probably what my subconscious is saying; I usually just think, "I kind of want their body and they seem interested. I tend to want to molest them like I'm on E or something. In private, of course. Do you find yourself becoming less sexually attracted to someone over time? Unless they're some certain celebrity crushes I have. Do you have a physical reaction before you have a psychological reaction, or vice versa, do they happen simultaneously? What particular characteristics seem to make you find someone sexually attractive (physical, personality, just something about them)? Have there ever been times when you have noticed a significant change in what or who you find sexually attractive?

Gay Homophobe Sexual fulfillment is a joke - Asexual Visibility and Education Well, it's not a joke, but it's like a joke. In a good way. Just about every personals ad ever written asks for a “Good Sense Of Humour”. People want fun to be part of their closest relationships, and why shouldn't they? But fun seems too trivial to list as one of the foundations of a relationship, so we are asked about the fundamentally important qualities for a relationship, we list more “worthy” things like trust, respect, solidarity, compatible beliefs and complementary skills. Many asexuals on these forums have said that they can't see how sex is an expression of love. Having a partner who “just doesn't get sex” is somewhat like having a partner who doesn't find your jokes that funny, and struggles to make you laugh. It's harder to feel rejected, unloved, unattractive, lonely, pressured or resentful when the laughs are back and you both are bringing joy into each other's day, every day.

Font smoothing, anti-aliasing, and sub-pixel rendering by Joel Spolsky Tuesday, June 12, 2007 Apple and Microsoft have always disagreed in how to display fonts on computer displays. Today, both companies are using sub-pixel rendering to coax sharper-looking fonts out of typical low resolution screens. Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface. Now that Safari for Windows is available, which goes to great trouble to use Apple's rendering algorithms, you can actually compare the philosophies side-by-side on the very same monitor and see what I mean. (Note: To see the following illustration correctly, you need to have an LCD monitor with pixels arranged in R,G,B order, like mine. Now, on to the question of what people prefer.
