Ask Aunt Lori - Death

There are two things every person, regardless of race, wealth, gender, or anything else will do: be born and die. The latter of the two creates a wide variety of emotions and reactions. Sometimes it's tragic and unexpected but sometimes it's just someone's time.

Ask Aunt Lori - Asexuality

Dear Aunt Lori,

A lot of my friends are talking about having sex or wanting to have sex; a lot of them talk about not wanting to go to college a virgin. I have crushes and like to go on dates and kiss people, but I don't think about or want to have sex. I keep thinking that I'll want to when I'm older, but I still don't want to.

Is there something wrong with me? Am I broken? Should I get my hormones tested?

Not Interested
