Buying a baby teething toy is such a good idea. Thank you.

No problem! Just make sure that if you like to chew hard you pick one that looks pretty sturdy (:

The thing I notice most about your art style is the attention you pay to the costumes. I think I can see alot of the character's traits from how you draw them. Have you ever thought of playing D&D or LARPing with your characters?

I haven’t done D&D or LARPing no, and I probably won’t. I have done roleplay, I have an ask blog for my character Gealach: askgealach. That’s on a temporary hiatus as I’m going to eventually make a comic for that character but before I can do that, I have to finish their language, lore, a bit more on anatomy, history, culture, yada yada. There might be a plot to the comic, but I have not decided yet.

I was a pannelist in a human sexuality class. We got stuck for a full 15 minutes when the asexual pannelists tried to explain asexuality. Nobody was understanding the concept. What do ypu think is the best way to get people to understand?

The best way to explain anything is to make it relate-able to the person you are explaining something too. For example, you talk to a gay male, to explain Asexuality to him, you could say, “You look at a woman, and you may find her very pretty or attractive looking, yet you don’t feel SEXUAL attraction to her, this is how asexuals feel about everyone, they do see the people, and they see how they may be attractive/good looking, but they don’t feel any sort of need for sexual interaction with the person they are looking at.” I would also go as far as to explain that being aroused=/=sexual attraction. This is relatable to everyone as there times where we just randomly feel aroused.

Also, break it down to is most basic form, which is the definition: Asexual= Not feeling sexual attraction towards any gender. Asexuality is different from abstinence and celibacy, because people who choose not to have sex can still feel sexual attraction, they are just holding back themselves from sexual interaction, while asexuals will not feel sexual attraction or need/desire for sexual intercourse regarless if they choose not to have sex. Basically: Abstinence/celibacy=choose not to have sex. Asexuality=No desire/attraction towards sex (is not a choice) 

Asexuals can still feel arousal, they can still have sex and masterbate, but, that does not make them not-asexual. A bisexual woman can have sex with a man, and still be bisexual. The fact that the intercourse was between a heterosexual couple, does not make the woman heterosexual.

Another good example are opposites: Heterosexuality=sexual attraction towards the opposite gender; its opposite is Homosexuality=sexual attraction towards the same gender. Pansexuality=sexual attraction towards ALL genders; Asexuality=sexual attraction towards NO genders.

If you want, I can come into the class to try and explain asexuality, because, hey, why not have someone who is experienced teach it? I just gotta know what time the class is.
