An Asexual organism is an organism that can reproduce without a mate.

Bacteria are asexual. They use binary fission to break in to two. Fungus and plants are asexual half the time. They switch back and forth between sexual and asexual reproduction.

But asexual doesn't mean you dont like either. You can't choose to be asexual.

Hmm.. nice topic folks I leave for a couple of weeks and this is what happens ? sheesh *shakes his head*

Re: What's my preference?
 

Ditto. :P

Re: What's my preference?
 

so what would the human definition of asexual be? cause it is used quite often to my understanding... and we all know that humans are incapable of reproduction without a mate

Re: What's my preference?
 

What if scientists inserted the necessary female and male organs all into one body?

GameMaster, I would stop.

GM, that would be a hermaphrodite. Supposedly even some people are born that way.

JS, if anyone uses the term "asexual" to describe or insult someone, then they're ignorant, have a poor sense of vocabulary, are trying to confuse someone, or actually believe the person can mass produce itself (that's right... not him or herself) as if it were some freaky alien.

I think it'd be a larger insult to call someone a hermaphrodite, but that's just me. Someone who would insult another by calling them asexual is like insulting a celebrity by calling them infamous.

Woohoo...sexual orientation topics.

Aren't mules non-sexual or whatever? Like...they can't reproduce because they're a product of cross-species breeding...so maybe they have no preference O.o

Asses like it from behind.

Badum-pish!

Re: What's my preference?
 

They aren't non-sexual, they're sterile.

It's a shame some of the people who frequent this forum aren't sterile... :sneaky:

No creature in the animal kingdon (which includes us Jeepnut's Slave) can be asexual. Animals are strictly sexual. No exceptions. Well...that i know of at least.

Yes. Yes he was. That is, according to the 1998 smash hit GODZILLA, Starring
Matthew Broderick.
