edit2: reading up on it again and there does seem to be conflicting views on what the term means. I still maintain that preferring to masturbate rather than have sex because you're socially awkward and it's scary doesn't make you asexual.

Celibate people and people with no libido are both "asexual", but for different reasons and in different ways and the former might change over time. Even hetero-, bi-, and homosexual identifications can change for many different reasons. I had a friend who used to fight with me over girls and had blatant crushes on them, but now he won't even touch girls and is an avowed homosexual. I have to wonder how much that had to do with how he was molested in high school...
And I know of guys who once liked girls (and sometimes still seem to) but then decided they were 100% gay even though it seems like all they really want is a father figure and they're just sexualizing their cravings for that kind of relationship. And then there are guys I know who were gay from the start. And then there are straight guys who legitimately seem 100% straight.
These days I can appreciate a good-looking guy even though I never could when I was younger. It's like it was an acquired taste or something (and you girls are crazy for not appreciating man-butts BTW ). But I've never met a guy that I could even remotely be romantic with (the relationship would quickly degenerate into video games and rough housing, because yes I am a total man-child), whereas I fall into romantic situations with girls all the time and often by accident. So where does that put me? "Straight" or "bi"?
And this is just my experience with my own and my guy friends' sexualities. Basically, the sooner we quit categorizing the better, because sexuality just doesn't work that way.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out somewhere else.
Yeah, I hate this multiple editions crap.I know the purpose behind having album versions with different extra from one another is to make money. Still I wish that there were some kind of "ultimate edition" of the album that had everything all in one (the various music videos, the versions, etc).

It'll probably be like this.Cerceaux wrote:Yeah, apparently they edit the video to only show footage of a certain member. I'm not sure exactly how they'll do it, but it sounds like you're getting 5 different chopped up fangirl versions of the same video which is pretty lame and pointless (isn't that basically what people do on YouTube already?).
