First of all I want to apologize for posting a new thread about sex. I’ve observed that talking about sex (even when it’s unsafe), and family politics is safer than talking about international politics (even when you have the safety of political correctness).
Sex of asexual kind is what we would talk about. Is there anyone here who’d like to categorize himself or herself as ‘asexual being’? Asexuality, a concept I wasn’t acquainted with until sometime back is rather different from celibacy. Celibacy or abstinence is something attained, but asexuality is thought to be an orientation that you naturally have without any physical or mental health issues.
Do you think they’re right in considering themselves a separate community in terms of their orientation?
The thread has not been inspired by any personal problems. I just found the asexuality concept interesting. But my knowledge is superficial. Anyone with a better understanding care to weigh in?
wow :love:
someone talking about such a great concept!!
during many years I thought about myself as an asexual…total lack of physical attraction and libido…only to realise later that it was due to medicines I was taking…
so it was a hormonally induced asexuality:D
I think no one is right to consider onself part of a different “sexual” community…I mean it is self discrimination, every single human being is different and we all have different attitudes towards sexuality.
But of course the singles who have no lust, so need to get bf/gf, and spouses do share some living style common points (ie, no kid, celibate, no need for wedding arrangments…) and may be happy together.
But it’s not a lot different than with any other “singles”…I mean all singles: homo, hetero or “a”…do share a commmon lifestyle: celibate:D
The biggest different is that “a” do not look for sexual partners…while others can
I often feel that I am digital not human and I feel that I have mercury running through my veins and not blood. Sex is not a 'requirement' for me. And I know that I can funtion well without it and not too well with it.
When you learn to be creative in so many different, new, innovative ways. When you learn to use up that energy in so many progressive ways. The need for 'sex' becomes very negligible and diminieshes as you mature mentally and grow intellectually.
Isn’t sex another biological need like food and drink?? You can’t go days w/o drinking, or the desire to eat, i cant c how u can live w/o the desire to have sex..
