Can someone explain to me asexual and metrosexual?!

[Thorn]

As if homo, hetero, bi, trans, weren't enough -sexual, what are these terms asexual and metrosexual?

The only people I know who call themselves asexual are pre-pubscent boys or ones that probably didn't figure out puberty right and happened to IM me years ago when I was younger.

As for metrosexual, I believe it has something to do with the social blending traits of the sexes male and female (not to be confused with transexual and hermaphrodite).... am I right?

Asexuals are those who claim to have renounced sex -- whether or not they're being honest, is another issue.

Metrosexuals are those who pratice hygene methods to such an extent, that they look like live plastic Kens and Barbies.

metrosexuals are men who are obsessed with fashion and dressing/grooming nicely.

asexual is me . Of course I'm not being honest. I wish I could swear off women, but it is harder- pun intended- than you would imagine.

Let's not forget Transvestites, Intersexuals and the Transgendered.

Closeted gays?

[Thorn]

Intersexual?

[Buck Birdseed]

Or "the intersex" to use a medical term. Basically a hermaphrodite by birth, someone born with both sets of genitals. In the west most of them are operated in early childhood to one of the two sexes, usually girl.

No.

Don't forget about hyper- and hyposexuals

[Dis]

if you are born with both sets of genitals, which one is on top? or do they overlap? can you insert one into the other?

[Buck Birdseed]

Don't ask how I know this.

They definately overlap and you'd be hard pressed to insert one into the other, but the important thing is that the amount each genital appears depends on various factors. In mild cases it can manifest itself as merely a split at the base of the penis or a slightly enlongated clitoris... For a fully fledged intersex you're going to have to think of the Penis and Clitoris being analogous organs (with the latter being split in the middle and largely inside the body) and go from there.

[MrFun]

Metrosexuals are not necessarily closeted gays -- there are true straight men who maintain the appearance of being live plastic Kens.

[Thorn]

Why do you suppose hermaphrodites are always born sterile, wouldn't it be interesting if they could breed a subspecies sortof?

[The diplomat]

metrosexuals are straight guys who act gay.
