Yeah, I'm more or less type-B asexual, though people have since ditched the alphabetical subgroups because of overlaps.
It's possibly partly due to touch; I can take people touching me skin-to-skin most of the time - though I very much prefer skin-to-clothes or clothes-to-clothes contact - but now and then it feels like I'm receiving an electric shock. (I have yet to get formally diagnosed for high-funtioning autism or Asperger's, though an Aspie online friend of mine said that he was '99.9% certain' that I was somewhere on the autistic spectrum.)
It's also partly due to the fact that I can't associate liking somebody a lot to wanting to stick our genitals together. There's just no connection whatsoever there for me.
Everyone seems to think that Mondays are red. There's actually a fictional children's book called 'Mondays Are Red' about synesthesia; my brother brought it home from his school library and I read it. Pretty interesting.
For me, Mondays are brownish-red, Tuesdays are blue, Wednesdays are yellow, Thursdays are purple, Fridays are pink, Saturdays are black and Sundays are ochre. A=black, B=green, C=yellow, D=red, E=blue, F=green, G=orange, H=green, I=white, J=red, K=blue, L=green, M=brown, N=salmon, O=white, P=salmon, Q=green, R=brown, S=red, T=blue, U=blue, V=green, W=yellow, X=red, Y=blue, Z=green. There's a lot of green in there... ;) And music and smells sometimes have colour for me, though that's about it.
