asexuality

I knew one asexual back in the day who would talk openly about it.
He had tried with both men and women and found it all rather clinical and a bit gross. He didn't masturbate as he found it mechanical and boring, but did have the occasional wet dream which he found to be a disgusting nuance.

He would always make a "grossed out" face whenever people discussed sex.

His non-orientation was never an issue, unless someone found him attractive and then he would just hide out for a few days.

The suspicion is hard to avoid that there is something going on here other than just lack of interest in sex. There seems to be an aversion, maybe a fear. Given the reaction so many parents exhibit when their little ones exhibit an early sex interest, one has to wonder.

I think claims people make about their sexual drives are usually to be taken at face value, but not always. I always claimed I was heterosexual, and even got married and had two children. :)

They say they don't need a movie, just the physical sensations, I see no reason not to believe them.

I don't have much sex nowadays -- in fact, unless you count masturbation, I don't have any. I attribute this to a combination of age and not being pretty and certain medicines, but sex just doesn't enter my head.

I did note when I was younger that the more sex I got the more I wanted, but when I didn't get any for periods of time the urge diminished.

Anyway, to the item I quoted above: it is easy to masturbate and not think about sex or run a fantasy. I do it because I understand that the plumbing has to be cleaned periodically or one increases the risk of prostate cancer, and I'm something of a "health nut" in that if I have good reason to think that doing a certain thing is good for me, then I do it.
 
Count me - no discernible sex drive. I was impatient a lot with my peers in my high school years because they talked about sex constantly and while it didn't disgust me, it certainly didn't interest me and the fact it was usually all they talked about was annoying.

Physiological problem? Psychological problem? Quite possible. Don't plan on "seeing a doctor about it", since my lack of sex drive has been about as problematic in my life as, say, a birthmark.

What is the issue, exactly? Some people don't want to have sex? So what?

I seem to have missed the part where this is a social problem.

It's a social problem when other people choose not to recognise or accept their sexual orientation (or rather their lack thereof) as valid. When they say "Oh, you just mustn't have met the right guy/girl yet" or "I bet you'd like it if I did you" or "you're just a frigid bitch".

In other words, being asexual is not a social problem. Acceptance of asexuality is a problem.

I can only speculate how simpler and more orderly my life might have been...
 
Yeah, there is that.

I've got great kids, with great kids.
Kind of grand , in a way.

Is this only an instinct evolved to optimize your chances of pushing your genes into future generations by motivating them to act in their interest?
 
I'm asexual until I get about 5 drinks into me.

Never will understand people who complain about not having any sex. There are plenty of reputable hookers in most major towns with reviews online, the whole deal.

I mean they don't call it the girlfriend experience for nothing. Party on.

My sister is asexual.

She was refused service at a clothes store because of this a few years ago. One of the workers knew her from school and knew that when my sister had asked who she liked, she said that she wasn't interested in anyone. People assumed that she was a lesbian despite her saying she didn't like any women like that. My sister heard the one that knew her tell the other not to serve her because of this.

Uh, no. It's not the same thing at all. Well, not for me anyway.
