Michelle is asexual. That means she has no desire to have sex with other people. Her boyfriend understands this, which is why they sleep together very little. But Michelle is still afraid: What if he realises tomorrow that he wants to do it more often? She talks to Frank about how her ex-relationships went, how she talked to her boyfriend about it and how often she sleeps with her boyfriend in a month. Frank also meets Michelle's mother and wants to know how she reacted to her daughter coming out. Juli is also affected. She has two children with Nikita. Michelle wants to know from her: How can you start a family and have a happy relationship? Is an open relationship an option for asexuals? The spectrum: There are gradations between no sexual attraction at all and a lot of it. That's why we talk about a spectrum. asexual (ace) – no desire for sex with other people gray-asexual (gray-ace) – a weak attraction to other people demisexual – attraction only to a person with whom a particularly emotional or close bond has been formed fraysexual – attraction only to people you barely know sex-repulsed: feels repelled by such sexual acts 00:00 - 00:29 Welcome 00:29 - 00:40 What does asexuality mean? 00:40 - 01:11 How do you know if you are asexual? 01:11- 04:10 What is a relationship like? 04:10 - 05:00 Experience with other relationships 05:06 - 06:49 How does sexual intercourse feel for Michelle? 06:49 - 08:13 Coming out 08:13 - 09:34 Does she satisfy herself? 09:34 - 10:30 Why are people asexual? 10:30 - 11:48 Do relationships work without sexual intercourse? 11:48 - 14:24 Desire to have children 14:24 - 16:05 Open relationships as a solution Episode 4 of the question: How does sexuality determine our lives?

Why do we let animals suffer? Do we drink too much? Or: What does porn do to us? My team and I are interested in questions that have a direct impact on our lives, but also in topics that are important to all of us and are often only discussed superficially. We look for answers to these questions week after week - openly, honestly and independently. We don't meet experts to do this, we are there: at the slaughterhouse, at the swingers' party, while proselytizing in the pedestrian zone. And because we want to get to know as many perspectives as possible in our search, we always spend several weeks thinking about a question. In the end, we want to give an answer, even if that isn't easy for us. With every video - but especially in the discussions with you - we get a little closer to an answer to the big, tricky questions.
