In a world where sex is sold to us from every angle, it might seem hard to believe that some people just aren't interested in sex. But that doesn't mean they're not interested in romance or intense romantic attachments to people.Enter: Asexuality.com, the site that is trying to educate people on the myriad ways you can be interested in someone that might not be sexual. Asexuals, for example, may feel romantic attraction without sexual attraction. And they also laid out a spectrum of other attractions including "Aromantic" (people who don't feel romantic towards others), "Demisexual," someone who isn't sexually attracted to someone unless they feel emotionally bonded first, and "Queerplatonic."The latter are non-romantic connections that are emotionally deeper than traditional friendships. According to Asexuality.com, a queerplatonic couple calls their more-than-friend their "zucchini."We're moving toward a world that understands that people do not always fit into the binary genders and even sexualities that society offers them, an example of a cultural trend we call Outsiders Welcome, in which what was once thought "the fringes of society" is now considered part of the norm. Now, in addition to taking into account the possibility your audience might be gay, bi or transgender — you might want to consider that they have a special zucchini in their life.
