Is asexuality in humans even real?

[Catler]

Heterosexuality, the sexual attraction to the opposite sex.
Homosexuality, the sexual attraction to the same sex.
Asexuality, the lack sexual attraction to any sex.

Asexuality as a term is something that was generally unheard of until fairly recently, but stories of people who never had sex or seeked to have sex are well known even far into the past. Is it possible some of those people were asexual?

Is it possible for a human to truly lack any and all sexual desire for other humans, or are they suffering serious mental/hormone deficiencies? Moreover depression is well known to make one uninterested in sex and rates of depression are rising, perhaps that's a big factor in the increase of asexual identifying people.

Do you think it's real and regardless, what do you think is causing people to identify that way?

If we're using the tumblr/reddit definition (misses social cues related to sex, still watches porn and masturbates, pursues relationships but not purely physical ones) then nearly anybody can be considered asexual.
I'd imagine it'd take some kind of hormone deficiency to be classified as "asexual" in the literal scientific sense.

[Pomniman]

Not really but there are situations where you stop yourself from caring because no one around is worth pursuing for whatever reason.

 

[Jex]

In humans, no. Subhumans, yes.

Asexuality is just a leftist version of incel, who remains alone due to either no social ability (male) or retardedly high expectations (female). The only alternative is if the person was castrated.

I knew someone who was "ace". They were sex repulsed from getting molested but still jacked off. Also a Vaush fan, so I can only imagine how they're doing this past month.

I think maybe it's real but super rare, and most people who think they're asexual are either sex repulsed or have a really low sex drive due to trauma, hormonal imbalances, mental illness etc etc.

 

[The Connected Nose]

Asexuality is simply the lack of a sex drive. But it's not a "sexual orientation." You still have a preference, you just don't do the sex part.

And lack of a sex drive is relative anyway. Not being completely sex-obsessed (as faggots like OP often are) would be "asexual" to them.

Basically, it's just another attention-whore label.

well thats because most of the people of note in history (nobles) were expected to produce children for heirs, this also led to fags having sex with women for the same reason. As @The Connected Nose pointed out

Asexuality is simply the lack of a sex drive.

and a lot of people who lacked a sex drive almost certainly became parts of the clergy/ascetic orders of their local religion.

Nowadays however Asexuals are desperate to fit in with the alphabet people and because of that the alphabet people have spun it into this massively faggy thing

I’m banking on ‘lightning never strikes the same place twice’ being true

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

Modern "asexuals" are almost always hormone-deficient people, but because of the religion of 'gender identity' telling these people there's anything that could be pathological or inhibiting enjoyment of life is bigotry so we just let these people live this way.

 

[Otterly]

Yes I think so. I’ve known two people I worked with decades back who were like this. Just never bothered about any kind of romantic or sexual stuff. I don’t think it’s common but I do think it exists

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Yes, but only in cases of autism or sexual abuse.

 

[Thomas Talus]

How do you functionally distinguish between hyposexual and asexual? The mind is such a mess of concepts that it wouldn't be hard for a small but extant drive to be subsumed by other feelings and wants, which is probably why sex drive is such a massive blunt instrument when it comes to cognition.

 

[analrapist]

The notion that folks would feel sexual desire but not act on it appears foreign to a lot of people.

Pre-gooner, I was heterosexual.
As a gooner, I was pansexual.
Post-gooner, I am practically asexual.

None of the few single women in my (small) community meet my selection criteria, much less show any reason for me to pursue them. As a middle aged man, missing the late-teen, early-twenties window for marriage is pretty hard to overcome. Whatever. After I achieve financial success with my current venture I'll re-enter the dating game.

For now, consider me asexual, because it is factually-correct. I don't even bother.

Is it possible for a human to truly lack any and all sexual desire for other humans, or are they suffering serious mental/hormone deficiencies?

That would explain it. It's basically the exact opposite, more rare equivalent to bisexuality. Both are a defect of the mind, one making you want to fuck everyone, the other making you want to fuck nobody.

 

[Safir]

Everyone who says a lack of sexual attraction is impossble or abnormal is a zoophile or a pedophile seeking to justify his or her degeneracy. "See, everyone is a bit a of a coomer."

Asexuality is just a leftist version of incel,

These are the correct answers.
