See, maybe Morrissey was telling the truth
Study shows One in 100 adults asexual:
"If asexuality is indeed a form of sexual orientation, perhaps it will not be long before the issue of 'A' pride starts attracting more attention," New Scientist says.

the 1 in 100 number might be true, but that 1 is not Morrissey!
evidence A: "the boy with a thorn in his side"
evidence B: "Vicar in a tutu"
evidence C: all the rest of his songs

So if Morrissey isn't asexual, then he's um, what? Straight? I mean take a look at these lyrics from "Hairdresser on fire" - the man is just really into his hair. And what's wrong with an asexual man loving on his hair? A tad dramatic, perhaps.
"Can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary
And psychologically save me
I've got faith in you
I sense the power
Within the fingers
Within an hour the power
Could totally destroy me
(Or, it could save my life)"

methinks his hair is not what he wants done for an hour with those fingers.

Do you think it's a manicure he's after?

Is a manicure when one guys does something to another guy? If so, yes he wants a manicure.

Can't you and Jeremy have these conversations face to face? Not that I don't find this entertaining, but still...
Oh, about the post, check out the Salon article about Morrissey's sexuality. I'm sure it's archived somewhere on there.

Well, after listening to "I Have Forgiven Jesus" from his most recent release, I'm gonna go ahead and say that he's probably asexual, but oh so curious.
Heck I always used to just refer to him as the celibate gay, as asexual just sounded a little too "highschool bio class" for me.
But back to the study - I can only think of one person I have known for any length of time that I thought was devoid of sexual desire. So that one in a hundred thing strikes me as maybe a bit optimistic of the rise of the non-sexed.

Curt - you must email me. I have something to share with you and I lost your email address. What I have to show you will make parting the red sea look like driving through a car wash.
