Asexual Pride
From New Scientist via CNN (with a tip of the Bunny ears to the lovely and talented Carla) we learn that about one percent of people have absolutely no interest in sex. Based on my experience with members of the opposite gender, that could be a low estimate.
"If asexuality is indeed a form of sexual orientation, perhaps it will not be long before the issue of 'A' pride starts attracting more attention," according to New Scientist. Already we have the Asexual Visibility and Education Network with an online store selling items promoting awareness and acceptance of asexuality, including a t-shirt proclaiming "Asexuality: it's not just for amoebas anymore" God bless capitalism.
According to the advertisements interrupting the nightly news, there is also an epidemic of penile erectile dysfunction. Not sure what the connection is - could be something in the water - but you can rest assured that your fearless Anokoblogger will get to the bottom of it soon.
