LoginAsexual dating: What it's like to be in a loving, sexless relationship. Dae and Tash have been happily dating for six months, but they also are not — and never have been — sexually attracted to each other. The pair are part of Australia's very small asexual community — researchers believe they make up just 1 per cent of the broader population. Asexuality is an absence of sexual attraction — some asexual people are in romantic relationships where sometimes they desire sex, and some are in romantic relationships where they never desire sex, and some are not in romantic relationships at all. Sex and relationship therapist Cyndi Darnell said it was only in the last 10 years that researchers had even begun to try to understand it. In pride parades it kind of goes back to that society is sexualised — just because I'm not having sex doesn't mean I can't fall in love," Dae said. Dae said there were a number of online dating sites that either catered specifically to asexual people, or allowed you to identify as an asexual, though they were not fail safe. They immediately clicked on an emotional and intellectual level and started dating soon after.

Fans of Shortland Street , and those of us who watched the series back then, will remember a character called Gerald Tippet, portrayed by Harry McNaughton an openly gay NZ-based actor. Here's why. In the years since then, asexuality has had more appearances in media and pop culture — but, as the community members we spoke to below have agreed — it's still quite sparse and misunderstood.
