Asexuality

[Childe]

Asexuals aren’t LGBT and most people who call themselves asexual just need a good dicking.

Asexuality is dysgenic by its design. I find it hard to believe that a gene or evolutionary adaptation exist to justify the legitimacy of it.

Asexuality is not a sexuality, it's a disorder in your brain. People can be born with absolutely no desire for intimacy or sex with anyone, but you cannot choose that lifestyle and stay it forever. Celibates are not asexual for example. Some people have legitimately no desire to fuck or be fucked and it is hardwired into their brain. It exists, but in vastly lower amounts than you would be led on to believe by tumblrinas.

Also holy shit, what a necro thread, 5 year old posts just last page.

I thought chastity talks were a joke until I realized everyone else was actually interested in that stuff.

Asexaulity was something that started during the Tumblr age, where everyone tricked people into thinking that sex is irrelevant. It’s usually a term that’s done by people that were never really noticed in their looks department, and it’s mostly done by women who want to make men more effeminate,.

Asexuals are just as defective as homosexuals, it's just that their defect isn't socially harmful.

It's like asking if 'not liking ice cream' is a favourite ice cream taste.

 

[koshka]

no it isn't
I thought that my gf was asexual but she's only timid
asexual people can masturbate or whatever they call it since it's sex with themselves but I don't think they can feel sexual attraction for someone, only platonic love

I am only posting to put a bit of perspective on Asexuality, and especially the community (AVEN).

99% of them, are not actually asexual. They are sheltered, socially inept, autistic/aspie bullshit. Result of sheltered parenting/abusive parenting.

1% of them are telling the truth. They do not participate in identity politics.

"Asexuality's" definition isn't properly defined in the community. This leads to more people identifying as such. This is common in LGBT communities, who are obsessed with making everything a spectrum.

I personally would fall into the 1%, as I do not experience any sexual attraction. Do I have libido? Yes. Do I want to fuck people? no. All people have libido, but not all people have something to direct it at. Do I have fetishes? Yes, but they do not involve people or sentient beings/practical means. This is the result of the abuse I went through growing up. If the parent fucks up your ability to form healthy relationships, your libido manifests in abstract ways. If you have one fetish, you are bound to have several.

I also think people are attracted to traits, not sex. No matter what sex presents these traits, you will have some sort of attraction to them. Nothing to be ashamed of. It is how we get things like prison gay, traps, and butch being attractive. Orientation being binary is bullshit.

You fucked up, bucko. We murder asexuals here. We've killed so many that some crazy broad from North Dakota is going to sue us over it. Watch your back.

If you legit have some form of anhedonia (health related, etc.), sure it's valid. Saying you're asexual is just a gay-ass way of saying you're not interested.

However, larping as an oppressed minority and forming a cult out of it (identity politics; anything) is fucking retarded.

 

[KiwiFarmsMod]

I keep seeing so many millennials these days claiming their asexual and of course often doing so of those sweet oppression points. I don’t know much about a the history of asexuality but I would guess that 20+ yrs ago the term was barely used.

So why is that? Why are there so many millennials and even younger now identifying as asexual? I think I have the answer and there are two parts to it.

1) The rise is identity politics and ubiquitousness of social media and how communities now exist (especially online) that protect these oppressed minorities and of course the hug boxes that now exist online that provide asspast and pity points and all the attentions these regular, often white and heterosexual people want but don’t get because they are normal and their external lives are boring and they are not special.
I went a little overboard describing this one. Everyone here knows what I’m talking about and this is not the point of this post, but if this didn’t exist, then #2 wouldn’t result in more ‘asexuality’ declarations

2) Antidepressants
It’s rare to see a well-adjusted and happy asexual, at least on the twitter sphere. Don’t get me wrong I lean highly toward asexuality being a real thing, but just like the rise of troons I think we’re seeing the same thing here, and I think a lot of these asexual cases are due to antidepressants.

Antidepressants have become like candy. If you’re depressed, which something like 30-40% of the county is,and you seek treatment, you’re likely to be described a newer, antidepressants, an SSRI especially, or if you’ve tried those already, an SNRI. Pretty much all of the newer antidepressants, excluding Wellbutrin, cause sexual dysfunction. In both men and women, a decrease in libido is a very common side effect.

Obviously the ‘oppression culture’ has to be there in order for these ‘asexuals’ to declare their asexuality to the world and not stop to assume maybe there is another explanation. I also think that there are still those who claim asexuality despite having a libido, just because it’s in the LGBT acronym and allows them the benefits of being LGBT without having to be gay or switch sexes (this wonderful and highly attractive lady bring a prime example) Nevertheless, I do think a good chunk of these cases are very likely due to the side effects of antidepressants, accompanied by the deep desire of these chums to deny until their dying breath that they are just human, they are not special.

 

[The Last Stand]

Sex is overrated. Plus, attraction is risky due to rejection and harassment.

 

[The Cunting Death]

Because they're unfuckable and/or they think they're special

 

[Maskull]

Log off and walk around. So-called asexuals are rather a rarity in the real world. You'll find them. They tend to cluster along with the rest of the oddly sexed and pronouned but your experiences online provide biased sample.

 

[HeyYou]

I agree, it's the easiest LGBTQ sexuality to ape to get oppression points. All you have to do is be an incel.

 

[Niggernerd]

There's so many, because so many are undesirables so they have to fuck themselves.

 

[HumanHive]

There are actually a few different kinds of asexuals; so your question depends on who we are talking about.

First are the LGBTQ+ version of incels. They could never get sex in their current state of bizarre-ness, so they go full sour grapes and claim they never had any interest to begin with. They run on pure spite and self-delusion.

Second are the "aromantic asexual in a romantic relationship" types. They just want progressive stack points and to belong to a group who they can bitch along with. Most of all, they want the last thing. Somewhere where they feel their innate specialness is recognized and appreciated.

Third are crazies like Chris who get sucked into the propaganda and end up some variation of LGBTQ. No sane explaination to be found here, they were crazy to begin with and just went down the current counterculture rabbithole. If it was the 60's, they'd become crazy hippies.

Fourth are childfree types, and enviromentalists who don't want to "burden" the Earth with more humans. Arguably the only ones with a rational excuse, but also the worst kind because they wish to be the last generation of humanity and have the same political ideals as the Columbine shooters.

Fifth are more traditional autists who genuinely have zero interest. This last group usually doesn't go waving around the asexual flag, because instead they're counting ants or otherwise being utterly non-social autists. Sir Isaac Newton noteably fit into this category, at least in terms of "married to work" levels.

All in all, anybody who claims to be asexual almost always isn't. They're just parroting a nonsense fad that they've turned into the whole of their identity. Only someone obsessed with sex could make their entire life revolve around how they don't have any.

In my experience the asexuals I've met that turned out to be more than fakers were more often than not the ones who didn't self identify as asexual. For instance I have this friend, real handsome guy who oozes charisma and could have any girl he wants. Thing is I've never seen him show romantic interest in men or women, not even a little. So one day I ask him about it and he just shrugs saying "Huh, I never really thought about it."

 

[Orion Balls]

Being asexual isn't the same as having no libido. However, because even teenagers going through puberty are given SSRIs these days, it can end up equating to the same thing. I'm not saying that no one should be taking such medications at fifteen or sixteen, I'm just saying that if your sex drive is dampened just as it is beginning, those people might very well feel as though they are asexual.

 

[Chan Buddhism]

I have a few ideas why there's so many asexuals out and about on the internet. First, I highly doubt there's that large a group of people that permanently lack the brain chemistry to feel sexual urges. Some autists, sure, but for most people it's a product of their environment.

The first group are the depressed asexuals. A symptom of depression is a low sex drive, and combined with how most asexuals are women and women usually have lower sex drives than men that could make for a lot of un-horny individuals. Pills could maybe solve that or maybe make it worse.

Then there's why a lot of them are fat as fuck: they see their own bodies as unattractive and so they don't want to think about themselves fucking other people. Still, they can't be arsed to do anything about it so they declare it a done deal and put a little pin on their jacket. This is probably where those "I'm ace and I still watch hentai" types come in.

Third are maybe people with a low sex drive except nobody told them that normal people aren't horny 24/7 and don't want to fuck on sight, and they're boring people to begin with so naturally they start shouting about how special they are for attention and woke points.

Maybe I think too much about these things, idk.
