[Image description: four-panel horizontal comic in color, set inside a coffeeshop. First panel shows Jameson (a tall man wearing a bandana) speaking to Jamie McJack (a young woman with brown hair, looking puzzled). In speech bubbles, he asks, “So, not to get too personal, but are you and Erin, like…dating?” Jamie: “Um, yeah, I mean, we don’t have sex, but—hm, how do I explain it?” In the second panel, looking less confused, Jamie says: “It’s like, if you and Chris went out on dates and held hands and cuddled naked at night.” The third panel is speechless, with Jameson looking confused and Jamie smiling. The fourth panel shows Jameson, somewhere between confused and embarrassed, and Jamie with a more neutral expression. Jameson: “I’m pretty sure it’s not like that.” Jamie: “Well yeah, there’s less body hair.”

Alt text: Admittedly I kind of hate that ‘dating’ often infers ‘having sex’. All the more reason to love Jamie and Erin!]

I don’t know whether Jamie or Erin is asexual, but I’ve always suspected one or both of them to be.
