A Life #70: Frozen A Life
The holidays are upon us and that means it’s time to indulge in some festive musings relating to Asexual and general issues.
A Life #69: Embracing LGBT
We’ve talked about the differences between Asexuals and the LGBT community in great detail in the past. This time we turn the table and talk about the similarities.
A Life #68: Feeding Back
Another unplanned but prolonged absence creates the necessity for an entire episode of reading your feedback.
A Life #67: Androgyny
As the logical continuation to the continuous exploration into the subject of gender, the panelists look at androgyny as it was and as it is.
A Life #66: 10 Ways To Tell That This Was A Bad Idea
Inspired by a blog comment, we go over three harsh top ten lists.
A Life #65: A Life Unabridged
We’re back! And because of the extended hiatus, there’s a whole lot of feedback to cover. And that is what we did, uncharacteristically thoroughly as well, not even abridging the longer messages. So it’s feedback galore, for your enjoyment and/or dread.
A Life #64: Gender Repulsion
Feeling repulsed by your own gender is a theme that seems to come up pretty often in the asexual community. Gender repulsion goes beyond “simple” genital repulsion, since it encompasses other parts of your body as well as the societal norms and expectations placed on you because of your physical sex. This is what the rather small crew of A Life discusses this time around.
A Life #63: In Queer Street
Queer is a term that has proved itself to be rather problematic for both people who identify as such and those who don’t. What does the word actually mean and who should be using it to describe themselves? And, ultimately, can asexuals be considered queer? These are the questions that accompany general randomness in this episode of A Life!
Poll:
Are you queer?
A Life #62: Great Pleasures
Sex is said to be one of the most important great pleasures in life and therefore we asexuals suffer as we’re missing out on it. But that is rather silly, because everybody derives great pleasure from different things. Therefore we discuss our great pleasures as well as a large dosage of the signature randomness you’ve come to expect in this episode of A Life.
Poll:
Do you feel there is validity to the existence of the men’s movement?
A Life #61: Feminism
How does feminism relate to asexuality and how do different kinds of feminists deal with the asexual community? And what exactly is feminism and why should we or why should we not care? These are the questions processed by the team with the aid of Sy. Who is Sy? You’ll find out in the 60th episode, released sometime next week.
A Life #59: Fetishes and Kink
In this very eeeeeevil episode of A Life, the team digs into the very eeeeeevil topic of kinks and fetishes as they apply to asexual people. Featuring the guestive expertise of Diedra.
A Life #58: Dating
Radiocarbon dating is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 to estimate the age of carbon-bearing materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years. However, we’re talking about the other variety of dating, the human interaction inducing personal contact kind.
A Life #57: Introducing Kendra & Tim
Randomness is the word of the day when the A Life team heads off to the unknown territories of an offtopic show. Although, to be honest, I don’t know what the official word of the day is, so it probably is not randomness. In any case, the show features the special guestitude of Kendra.
Poll:
If you need to prioritize your romantic or sexual identity, which one do you go for?
A Life #56: Asexual Maturity
This week the intrepid panel of A Life delves into the depths of maturity. Often asexuality is confused with sexual immaturity, so we discuss how they differ from each other and how to tell them apart.
Poll:
At what age do you believe you came into your sexual maturity?
A Life #55: Community Activities Offline
Life happens! Even when it’s offline. So asexuality happens. Even when it’s offline. And that is what we discuss.
A Life #54: Communities Other Than AVEN
It may come as a bit of a shocker, but there actually are other online communities than AVEN around. We go over the more larger and notable ones.
Poll:
Do you participate in other asexual communities beside AVEN?
A Life #53: Exhausted Giddiness
This week’s show got a little out of hand… In fact, it got so out of hand that Vlad did a pretty major editing for the show afterwards, so I thank her for the effort in here as well. The show makes repeated attempts to have a topic… but fails. So enjoy! …or at least don’t hate it too much.
A Life #52: We’re (feed)Back!
A series of unfortunate occurrences have prevented the brave crew of the starship A Life from convening and bringing you another dosage of asexual discussion. But here we are again, this time mainly going over the past several weeks of feedback and playing the Asexual Elitist Blame Game!
Poll:
Has you romantic identity evolved since you found the asexual community?
A Life #51: Flavours of Aceness
Demisexuality and Grey-A’s are a part of the asexuality community as well. So naturally they’ll be a part of this podcast as well. This is what the brave crew of the starship A Life discusses this time around. Special guestness provided by Cat & Wojtek.
Poll:
What is the status of demisexuals and grey-a’s in relation to the community?
A Life #50: Special Celebratory Extravaganza
Download (iPod Video)
Download (MP3)
In honour of the 50th episode, the panelists decided to go for video. With disastrous consequences!
Well, they’re really not all that disastrous, but I thought that a sensationalist description might boost our numbers a bit…
Poll:
What was the best prop?
