A Life

As tradition dictates, it is time to go off topic for our final episode of the year. This naturally means immediate derailment and general confusion in the part of the panelists. Let the festivities begin!

The culture around us is full of sex, that is something we cannot do anything about. So what is a poor asexual soul to do? Well, as luck would have it, most of us still can enjoy sexual culture in one form or another for some more or less convoluted way. That is what we discuss in this edition A Life.

This time around the crew of A Life revisits an old topic well due for a revisit. Gender identity is something that the asexual community talks about often and maybe has a unique angle to.

Labels. Some people revel in them, some people hate them. But everybody should probably be aware of them, so that is why labels are the topic of this edition of A Life.

"Coming out" is usually covered a lot in these sorts of podcasts and is universally hailed as a good thing for everybody. But what if you just want to stay in and not deal with the hassle or repercussions of coming out. Is it as respectable and if it is, what are the ways to stay in without blowing your cover? These questions and a lot of tangential sidelines are at the core of this episode of A Life.

This episode of A life has it's hosts tell personal stories of their asexuality and parents, some sex education stories, and more.

Does asexuality have a place in religion? The team discuses this, celibacy and religion itself in this episode of A Life.

The crew leans back with a topicless show once again, which means that more topics are covered than in any regular episode. Among other items of interest, the crew talks about possible health benefits of having sex and the balancing health risks involved, reactions with encountering sexuality in the wild and other considerations of general interest.

Marriage is a very deeply integrated cultural tradition. But how does it apply to asexuality and what are the specific challenges asexuals have to deal with in the context of marriage. We also discuss the meaning of marriage as a practical, cultural and symbolic gesture.
