Asexuality is a relatively new and generally obscure sexual orientation. It is often misunderstood or not acknowledged as valid by others when people share that part of themselves. This can be frustrating, hurtful, or isolating when people with this orientation don’t find support or acceptance from those around them. Jim spends some time briefly sharing his own story about this part of his life, in the hopes that it may help those struggling with the confusion to feel less alone. ✌️

In this cast Jim (aka “Why are you still recording these things?”) verbally meanders around life in Boulder, thoughts on investing, life as a functional asexual, sucking at talking to women, culinary adventures and tribulations, overdoing it at thrift stores, the past / future of digital music services, and a bunch of miscellaneous junk that served as a good three-hour excuse to procrastinate doing any real work. Just think, it could be your next three-hour excuse to do the same! Doesn’t that sound relaxing? No? Then…namaste, and give up the funk.
