Oh good, it's not just me!

I don't not enjoy sex, I just don't enjoy it as much as (apparently) 95% of humanity does. Certainly males. But I can't consider myself as ace because I kinda like sex, sort of. It's just (a) not that exciting [I have more fun with my partner when she climaxes than I do when I do*] and (b) just takes too much time and effort compared to just making out and cuddling [and nobody ever complains about sleeping on the cuddle spot].

So I agree with the spectrum concept, but yes, we need to come up with something besides "asexual" for "doesn't need to get laid so badly that they behave like idiots so obviously they hate sex."

*Um, which isn't very often. Actually, I faked every orgasm with my first lover, who never noticed. In her defense, we used condoms or spermicidal goop that masked the evidence, or lack thereof.
