'Vege-Sexual’ Has Become A Real Thing In 2007
http://www.tangomag.com/

Forget homo-, bi- or even metro-: the latest prefix in sexuality is vegan-, as in “vegansexual.” In a study released in May, Annie Potts, a researcher at the University of Canterbury and a director of the New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies, surveyed 157 vegans and vegetarians (120 of them women) on the topic of cruelty-free living. The questions ranged from attitudes about eating meat to keeping pets to wearing possum fur to, yes, “cruelty-free sex” — that is, “rejecting meat eaters as intimate partners.”

3. i'm calling bullshit
there's no way that Annie Potts is director of the New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies. She works in a record store!

4. Why did I think this was going to be a cucumber thread?
Wouldn't a "vege-sexual" be someone who is sexually attracted to vegetables?

9. You are not alone.
I was waiting for the whole "if you let gays marry one another, soon they'll want to marry a Miracle-Gro cucumber" argument. :rofl:

13. It's a great recruitment tool.
There are a couple less meat-eaters on this planet thanks to MY tool.
