Asexuality-a new orientation or made up/denial/weirdoes?

Maybe they are highly evolved. Maybe they are aliens. Or very very repressed.

Sex is pervasive in our culture. Must be hard for them to maintain their sanity.

Panzade, I've been meaning to ask you: Where is your signature from? It reminds me of the Monks of New Skete.

That is just . . . I don't know what that is!

Oh? I'd be interested in discussing the Monks of New Skete...over a bully-like bottle of Lambrusco.
Seee kicky, that's how it's done...none of that enter enter enter.

I'm not so sure that low sex drive in people can necessarily be called "asexuality." That sounds to me like "hey, let's invent another meaningless buzzword."

Or maybe they're too caught up in stressful or time-consuming things and end up with a suppressed libido.

The Monks of New Skete are more about NOT letting the puppy make demands.

Panzade, what's wrong with "enter, enter, enter." I enjoy entry, don't you? :wink:

Cinn, on an arguably serious note. You will hardly believe this but I rephrased Farmermans signature line one day in a fit of pique. It looked so sage I just left it.

The quicker the entry, the quicker the exit.

What was Farmerman's signature?

Entry is good. How can anyone argue with that?

"Entry is good. How can anyone argue with that?"

True, but kicky is all weirdly obsessed with it, as if sex has no other highs.

Well, then, should we arrange a lineup of women? Bang bang bang bang.

Ahhh, you're referring to Kicky having graduated from the Wham Bam Thank You Ma'm Academy

It's all in the anticipation lad

Yes, apparently he passed the exam with flying colours, so to speak.

Back to the topic, folks.

Of course asexuality exists. In all other areas of living we accept that some people are highly endowed or fanatical or extremely motivated and other people are not. Why should sex be any different.

Literature is full of bachelors and spinsters--and by no means are they all embittered and frustrated people. There are any number of grey flannel suit typs divorced every year because they choose to put their energy into their jobs rather than in their marriages. Sex is more important to some people than to others. I have more trouble accepting "sexual addiction" as a social problem than asexuality.

Why are people threatened by asexuality? Do they think it might be catching? Live and let live.

I'm not threatened by it at all. I just question the terminology as it is extremely vague and all-encompassing. Low sex drive can be a totally natural thing, or it could be related to other problems. To lump all people who lack interest in sex into one group just seems silly to me.

cav--

If people choose to regard themselves as asexual--for whatever reason--where's the harm?
