Kendrick Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Ok so I have heard of this kind of thing before. However my question is, what would make a person asexual to begin with? Also, if a person is in a marriage or relationship with someone who wasn't asexual, then over time became that way, how would you know for sure they were, and what would cause them to change?
Author Kendrick Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 You are not asexual. You are just being a woman. You're right, I'm not asexual. I was just wondering why or how some people get that way or become that way if they weren't before. I think men and women can be that way as well.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 People are not asexual--some just call others that. Some people have extremely low libido which is usually a matter of hormonal inequities. Some of these persons may really want to be very sexual and may find themselves turned on by someone new for a while but they always begin sliding back to who they really are because the chemistry isn't there to sustain drive for sexual fulfillment. This is why people who seem sexual also seem to become asexual. They weren't really very sexually oriented by virtue of robust sexual chemistry inside them to start with. Problem is, people almost always judge every one else using themselves as the standard--so, persons geared for low sex think they are normal and that others are abnormally sex-hungry. This may make them even more righteous in their apparently asexuality.
quankanne Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 my guess is also that it's hormones. As time rolls on, those levels decrease and as a result, so does a person's sex drive, to a point where it's easy to consider onself "asexual" as for someone who is like this from the get-go ... it's a lack of hormones, and I imagine that once someone gets used to his/her condition being the "norm" it's where they find themselves mostly comfortable. Or so my own warped reasoning tells me!
Feelin Frisky Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 ... I imagine that once someone gets used to his/her condition being the "norm" it's where they find themselves mostly comfortable... If you take that a step further, it is not only where some find themselves comfortable, it can be where they become resolved that their way is "god's way". We can probably unmask most austerity in this regard as coming from a place of sexual inadequacy, guilt, envy, denial and ultimately over-compensation by assertion of righteousness in abstinence. Would any one with a healthy libido even think to start a movement to repress sexual fulfillment? Wouldn't occur to me in a million years.
Author Kendrick Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 Maybe that's why some are in sexless marriages?
mohdhm Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 hmm a person would be asexual if a part of his body would be able to fall off (ie. shoulder) from his main body and grow into a whole new person. not the answer you want, well you shouldn't have asked a ridicules question

Asexual reproduction is when an organism can self-reproduce. The two things are not the same. Correct spelling: "ridiculous"
You Go Girl Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 You're right, I'm not asexual. I was just wondering why or how some people get that way or become that way if they weren't before. I think men and women can be that way as well. I suppose someone could become psychologically asexual if they were traumatized or felt that they had enough of sex and that it only brought problems to their life. But truly asexual people are not interested in sex for their entire lives. It is less than 1% of the population according to wiki, however even close to 1% must be a fairly large number of people.
Author Kendrick Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks everyone for the replies. And to the person who said I had asked a ridiculous question, it was just a question, just like all the others on here. You didn't have to respond if you didn't want too. However, I guess you just couldn't control your impulse to be rude.
waynebrady Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 You are not asexual. You are just being a woman. The majority of all women are pretty much asexual.
