You are great ^_^ Can we be fds?
I am 14, I should be asexual too!
I just want to keep good relationship with my family.
And I really want 3-4 best friends (It seems I don't have any till now...How sad)
I don't care their gender.
Sex is awful (except reproduction), I think. I hate that kind of love and sex!
In the future (maybe from now on) , I have to try my best to help people in society...
(It seems to be impossible = =)

swankivy, I like your channel!
Keep your good writing and your job!

The Brave Little Toaster (haha, you say? It's great!)
Haha? It was actually my best friend's favourite film growing up
(he went away, sob-sob, to the la-la-land of childhood forgetfullness though)
and I actually picked up the short story that inspired it written by Thomas Disch.
Even though The Brave Little Toaster is a sweet little story, a fable for kitchen supplies or
some such thing from reading about Disch, the writer was a very serious sci-fi fantasist that
wanted his literature to change how people thought and tried to expand upon a field of writing
that was not being looked down upon because of inferior space operatic extravanganza.
Sorry about the spontaneity. Peace

"So cool!" - From looking at your website for the first time.
I kinda took the shortcut through the asexual video and ended up there. Fairies yay!
I gotta get into looking up people on the web more, there's just so many awesome folks here
and you're definietly one of them.

You don't make nearly enough videos. You should take a cue from your friend, Mariko.

Hi think your messages in your videos are very clear and articulate, Swankivy... I am JUST coming out as an Asexual (romantic). I am still very new to this despite being 26 yrs of age. I am breaking hearts as well as finding hope. Thanks for your support! I love your vids.

Hey, I know you haven't heard from me in awhile, but I'm still watching away your awesome vids. "Daniel" was amazing! I was wondering if I might request a song. I think your voice will go great with it.

It's called "You are the moon" by The Hush Sound. Its just a girl and her piano, so I'm thinking it wouldn't be too hard to find a backing track. Let me know if you're interested and keep up the great work!

I love your videos, you make a lot of good points. I could go on and on about the cracks that you see through in all of these arguments against asexuality and such forth. I'm also asexual ( doubt that you get very many comments from people who ARENT) and find that your videos are pretty apt to put a smile on my face when you smack down someone's false claims about asexuality. Keep up the good work.
