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?

Celebrating & Mourning My Voice
I sung everywhere: in the shower, in the car, in my room, and on stages. I've sung for graduations, competitions, basketball games, and to my dogs.
