truncated Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Simple question that came to my mind after reading another thread. Do you think there such a thing as being truly asexual, or does everyone have a sex drive? is there something wrong if a person has zero interest in sex, and this is "situation normal" for them, and doesn't represent a deviation from their usual mindset?

Els Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I think there are a few people who are genuinely asexual, but not a large number by any means. Many people who 'think' they are asexual are either repressed (by culture/religion or because they have less common preferences), or haven't discovered what gets them going yet. is there something wrong if a person has zero interest in sex, and this is "situation normal" for them, and doesn't represent a deviation from their usual mindset?This is a rather convoluted and confusing question. In the first place 'sexual' and 'having sex' aren't necessarily synonyms, or at least not by certain definitions. On LS 'sex' seems to be mostly defined as something-in-vagina-or-anus, which would eliminate a significant number of situations (for example, many lesbians don't use strap-ons, many gays don't have anal sex, and some hetero couples place varying importance on intercourse). And we're not even getting to the kinky folks with chastity kinks, etc - they are certainly 'sexual' even if they aren't having any type of 'sex'. In the second place why would there be anything 'wrong' with someone having their own sexual (or asexual) preferences? Just be with someone you're compatible with, end of story. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
autumnnight Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Simple question that came to my mind after reading another thread. Do you think there such a thing as being truly asexual, or does everyone have a sex drive? is there something wrong if a person has zero interest in sex, and this is "situation normal" for them, and doesn't represent a deviation from their usual mindset? Being asexual is a real thing. It does not mean that one does not have romantic feelings, and it may or may not mean that someone has a drive. It means that someone is NOT sexually attracted to others and does not desire or need a sexual relationship with another person. This is the same as being gay or straight, identifying as a gender other than what one's genitals say, etc. Is there something "wrong" with it inherently? No. Is it wrong to pretend to be someone you are not and get into a relationship with someone on false pretenses? YES. YES. YES. YES. End of story 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Got it Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yes it is medically recognized. Why wouldn't you believe that it is? Link to post Share on other sites
