How many of you are asexual? I feel like a significant portion of CC is.
I've never been in a relationship as I've rejected any guy who has asked me out, so I don't think I know for sure. I think my distrust of men has led to me feeling this way. The only guys I'm able to be attracted to and consider crushes are guys I don't talk to.
Can anyone relate?

I am aro&ace. I always loved anime boys growing up, and always found myself fantasizing about romantic relationships, but as soon as someone said they were attracted/interested in me, I found myself in disgust or turned off? Like please leave me alone…I couldn't understand why I was like this until my then best friend (I was 18) told me, hey, you might be aro/ace. I consider myself to be specifically lithromatic and lithsexual.

Liking someone from far doesn't mean you want to have sex with them. Many asexuals can't even imagine sex is the real thing that happens in the real world because it is completely different to fantasize about something and do it in sweaty, disgusting reality.

It does exist, not all asexuals are even Tumblr generation. Some asexuals think completely differently about sex, they don't have just a low libido but they don't understand whether a situation is sexual at all. I think about sex exactly like when I was a child, don't understand when someone is flirting with me or how men think. I think that sex is silly and it makes me giggle and getting naked is stupid in front of others. When people have sex they are basically digesting food at the same time and it turns into shit. I never realize which men are flirting with me, even when they get naked because I have met some hippies that just walk around naked and it is nothing sexual. I didn't realize that in movies people had actual intercourse, because it was not shown on the screen. I thought this way when I was 25. Now over 30. In my case I'm also probably autistic, so that's it.
But even when you consider teens who may be late bloomers calling themselves asexual then it is still understandable because sex is forced on young people everywhere. It is completely normal to be 15 and think that sex is gross and kissing is yucky but you have to hide it to be popular. Adults talk to teens as if they were tropes from a bad book, assuming very stereotypical things and don't listen when you say you don't like drinking, smoking, partying or boys. Or even when you think typical teen things are extremely stupid. So it is obvious that teens look for communities where they can be accepted for what they are and where they don't have to pretend they like sex. Even if they will like it later.

I think "asexuality" exists in that there are people who do not feel sexual attraction, but I dont think they need their own special sexuality and arent comparable to gays, lesbians and trans. theyre basically just straight people, as defaults

Anonymous 37043

That's not how sexuality works. Your personal distaste for the guys who've asked you out doesn't determine what you're capable of being attracted to.

Stuff like this is not as easy as it seems, so I don't know what to tell you, other than try some explicit material and see where that takes you.

Anonymous 37418

No, it is possible to be biologically not that hormonal. Extremes exist in evolution. For instance, some people fuck anything, some people want the gender that wouldn't help them to produce babies, some have problems getting an erection and so on. It isn't anything that weird that some people don't want to have sex then.

Also, asexuality is defined as lack of sexual attraction for people, not that you don't want to masturbate.

asexualitiy as an identity and sexuality is not a real thing. You are just another normal ass person that doesn`t have a huge libido. You didn`t mention a single thing that is not a common normal ass person`s trait.

And it gets really dumb when they start with the "i`m asexual but asexuals have sex too! and get romantic!" Fuck that, not real, the deeper you validate that crap the more retarded it gets.


>don't understand when someone is flirting with me or how men think.


Thats not a sexuality, you are just using some generic trait every other person has and making a label out of it. You are just socially akward beta girl, don`t cope with made up terminology.

Asexuals are not attracted to people and they don't get aroused by people. "People" is the key here (or animals, just to exclude zoophiles). Everything else doesn't matter, they can have sex, but this is only physical, there is no attraction involved.

For instance, if a man can get off by fucking a hole in the wall it doesn't mean he is attracted to walls. He won't see walls sexually, doesn't feel any attraction, ejection happens just as a result of mechanical activity.

For some asexuals it is the same way. Others won't have sex ever.

Being romantic has nothing to do with sex or sexuality.

>You didn`t mention a single thing that is not a common normal ass person`s trait.


Asexuals are normal too. But most sexual people understand sex differently than they did before puberty. Many asexuals don't. Nothing in their brain related to sex changed during puberty. They still think that naked people are funny/boring/cold and kissing scenes are boring/slimy or whatever they thought as children. It is not the same as having sexual interests but being to shy or picky. They don't recognize sexual situations not because they are bad reading other people's minds but sex isn't a real thing for them. Part of the brain that interprets sexual cues and also social context related to it (like jealousy, monogamy, sex as a sin, shame, sluttiness, etc) is completely missing.

For instance, most people think that certain makeup and dresses sexualize children. I don't see it that way because I see only shapes, whether that specific color or dress suits that child. I don't like child pageants because they are tacky and adults force them on children, not because children dress too sexy. I just don't see anything else but shapes and colors.

How does any of those sentences confirm that asexuality is not real?

Asexuality is an orientation, it is not the same as being frigid or having a low libido. Avoiding having sex is the smallest problem for asexuals, the daily life is meant for people thinking sexually after puberty. They have to navigate in this sexual world. Defining asexuality is important because of this and also for people themselves to recognize they are asexual, instead of trying out all kinds or sexualities and genders and forcing themselves to have sex.

How? You haven't explained even once why it is the same.

Just like heterosexuality isn't about low libido for the same gender, asexuality isn't either. They both lack attraction, not just libido against certain gender (or both).

I'm not asexual, but I can easily imagine how someone might be biologically unable to be attracted to other people and that there is likely a spectrum between complete asexuality and hypersexuality. It's not hard to imagine how one's sexuality or lack thereof might be determined to some extent by both innate biology and environmental factors, and that as a «new» niche and historically ignored group asexual people have created an easy-to-don identity that hangers-on will use to stand out even if they don't really feel that way. I have no way of telling who is «legitimately asexual», so I'll just judge people by who they are instead. And really, it's never too hard to tell the poseurs from the people who really feel that way.

Homosexuals and heterosexuals have no attraction to one gender. Asexuals have no attraction to both genders. If you agree that lack of interest in the opposite gender is not just low libido then asexuality isn't just about libido either.

It has nothing to do with politics. It is important for people to understand their sexual orientation, instead of forcing themselves to have sex or even worse, getting married, having children and needing to stay married and provide for their husband sexually because couldn't raise the children on their own.

My past experience with people who oppose sexuality are people who can only think about is sex and or squeezing out as many babies as possible. Kind of like how I think the more homophobic someone is the more they are in denial of being gay.
I do agree that the tumblr movement ruined ace, trans and gay movements making a ridiculous pitty fight. Making the terms seem more like a joke and something to tack on to seem more special. But it didn't stop there.
I don't find being ace a cope for incels, if anything they seem to be the ones more oppose to it. Yes some aces have trauma, doesn't mean all of them do. But like everything there isn't one set rules on how it should be. For example just because your straight doesn't mean you have to find every man attractive. Asexual may or may not find people attractive. Some may have sex for the sake of their partner. But I don't think aces enjoy sex or feel much pleasure.

How do I begin to figure out if I'm ace? I'm constantly horny but it's directed at my daydreams or erp content only. I've never found any real or fictional person physically attractive and the idea of fucking someone IRL turns me off. I have done it with a moid and it was even more mind-numbingly mediocre than I could've imagined.

What do you want from life? I think I might be both asexual and schizoid. I never had a crush (real or fictional), never found anybody attractive, I don't enjoy anybody's company and I don't ever feel lonely. I was always content, but now its beginning to feel like the world is built in its entirety for someone else.
My goal was always to find a job I could do remotely, buy some land and a house and live a pretty simple life spending time on my hobbies.
With the current state of the world that feels outright impossible. My savings are shrinking instead of growing. Getting a reasonable loan is impossible on my income. I could easily acheive what I want if I shared my expenses (and life) with someone but I'm not sure its worth the price.

While I do accept asexuality I don't accept demisexuality. Not that I think it's fake but idk it doesn't feel like it should be considered a sexuality? Also I hate people telling me that I'm probably demi because the idea of being sexually attracted to a random person is weird.

People need to be transparent and to define themself precisely for the Market, so the Market can see through them and know what to sell to them. It is most convenient when people just announce to the world their consuming preferences in matters of medias, other humans, food… in excruciating details.
Hence the new words. This is just market segmentation disguised as sexual liberation.

I don't see the point in having it as a separate identity unless we're talking about the "aromantics" or the ones who genuinely don't want any kind of sex or romance for whatever reason. Homo/hetero/biromantics are literally just gay/straight/bi people with low or no sex drive.

hmm personally knowing about asexuality and talking with other people who feel the same way could have helped me a lot while i was a teen. everyone is confused and more or less insecure at that age, and for people who have less common sexualities it can be an extra challenge.
i forced myself to have sex with multiple people in hopes of fixing myself, felt less than other people, wondered about having medical conditions and feared that i could never find someone that would be okay with dating me.
knowing about asexuality can save a lot of stress and painful experiences for someone who feels different and wrong because of it.

Anonymous 200717

i'm not even asexual but having had a sexual dysfunction i sympathize. one of the main critiques i see of asexuality especially from lgbt people is that they've never gone through sexuality-based oppression and while on many levels that's definitely true, anyone who isn't even downright asexual but has simply had low libido or sexual dysfunctions can testify to how socially isolating these experiences are and how sex is literally everywhere and if you for some reason don't want or can't partake in it, or even don't want to simply hear about it, well good luck! lol
it's not that people shouldn't talk about sex, in fact i believe sex has to be talked about even more than it is for multiple reasons, it's just genuinely frustrating for some people because it's indeed a sensitive topic for so many yet they have no choice but to live in a world obsessed with it.
and lack of sexual activity or sexual desire is stigmatized. just an example, the word "prude". or how virginity while valued to an extent, does become ridiculous to the eyes of people after a while, and tbh it was never praised between teens, everyone knows there is peer pressure to lose it even among girls. at least, that was my experience.
asexuality definitely would have had a similar fate to homosexuality and bisexuality in terms of social exclusion, and it is very much frowned upon, atm it's completely justified for lgbt people to shit on asexuals and they're seen as the next weird thing who should be silent about it.
the reason it didn't experience the same degree of social issues is because it's by nature less easy to identify, for example you can tell a gay couple on the streets but you can't tell that someone walking around is asexual.
it doesn't mean they still don't experience drawbacks from their orientation and aren't just as presumed to be straight when they're not.

I used to identify as asexual back when I had some woke friends irl and online. Later I became disillusioned with the queer community and decided they’re attention-seekers obsessed with sexuality, as well as realization how harmful the trans acceptance is.

Even though I never changed that I hate the idea of sex, would never participate in it, would not seek a relationship even if sexless because I don’t need it in my life, I feel people who call themselves asexuals are mostly cringe. And here goes all the snowflakes who think not having sex frequently makes them asexual too. Only shows how our society regressed due to sexualization.

I know only a few genuine asexual people but they don’t make this “orientation” (for me it’s a lack of thereof/lack of sexuality) their whole personality or any major discussion topic. They also happen to have similar interests to mine and are really cool close friends.

I am bitter every time I see ace symbols online because it reminds me stupidity of all these idiots who do nothing for any acceptance of people who wish to have sexless lives. This is a private topic and I don’t see why it should be a pride movement, but if someone happens to know and mocks a person, it’s bad too. Unfortunately the bandwagon orientation crazies don’t help, being so obsessed with their relations to other people that they can’t describe themselves without the mention of sexual preferences or lack of thereof and their twisted pronouns.

Screw the asexual movement and what it became. Why make a flag for it? What’s the point to call it an orientation? Thanks to these idiots and many people I never met personally but were active online, I feel like I wasted some portion of my youth. Screw them all.

I think this is because there are people sucked into LGBTQ+ shit but are too intimidated by all the hypersexualisation of everything all the time so they larp a sexuality that seperates them from that. If "queer" culture didn't include ramming fetishes down everyones throat by force in every LGBTQ+ community space, you wouldn't have people needing to fake asexuality as a shield against it

Anonymous 201247

I think asexuality exists and my feelings mirror what >>200717 said also the struggles of ace people isn’t exclusive to asexuals which I think is why lgb people get annoyed at them. But to say that you don’t face any issues is a bit weird but I guess it’s cultural then. People will get nosey when you’re not married and old. It’s really satisfying when you find out there are others like you and you finally put a word to how you feel (or lack of).
On the other hand there’s nothing more cringe then someone saying “excuse me I’m sex repulsed can we not talk about sex” in gay circles, almost as cringe as queer theorists and queer tiktokers redefining the what is means to be gay/lesbian/bisexual.

Is it weird that while I don’t take aromantic people seriously I don’t mind aroace. Demisexuality is just too hyper specific and means nothing especially when “friends falling in love” is seen as the ideal relationship.

Asexuality rights are to gay rights, as NEET rights are to gay rights.

I am in the actual sense that I don't feel sexual attraction to someone. Been that way all my life and I'm not a spring chicken anymore. Then again, I have a verified Cluster A that lists a lack of sexual attraction as one of the common side effects. I can't speak for anyone else or their reasons. Luckily I also have almost no libido to go with it, otherwise I don't know how I'd cope with wanting to screw all the time but not having any example of who I would participate with. When I was younger, I would get frustrated and try to force myself to like men; when it didn't work, I tried to like women instead but, obviously, neither worked and I gave up. Now I'm just kind of glad I don't have to deal with the same obsessive preoccupation everyone else seem to have over looking for sex.

"Asexual" is just a descriptive term. I didn't know what I was experiencing had a name until I strayed across the term by chance looking through some old feminist material a few decades ago. No interest whatsoever in the strange focus on using one's sexuality (or lack thereof) as an identity and all this flag nonsense; it's shaped some of my life and who I ended up being, but I am me first and my traits second. Never participated in the strange communities and fandoms that seem to have sprouted up around idpol and I have no interest. I think a grand total of 3 people on the planet know that the term applies to me, and it's not something I think about unless I happen across threads like this on the few sites I occasionally discuss things on.

Dismissive over-simplification of potentially complex issues for the sole reason of disagreement is not typically a sign of intelligence.

that post seems like a very shoehorned response to one that didn't even mention if asexuality should be part of lgbt or not though

Because obviously it shouldn't.

yes, but is "should asexuality be part of the lgbt or not?" the only topic of discussion when it comes to asexuality? lol
in fact, the nona didn't even mention that in her post. she was talking about other things entirely. so that response either embarrassingly missed the point, or it was just some purposefully petty remark that had nothing to do with the topic at hand

Asexuals make some gays irrationally angry just by existing lol

It's almost like they want to hijack the movement out out of narcissism while gays need to fight homophobia

it's almost as if gays don't also shoehorn their way into asexual discussion.
this thread itself has an example of a gay or gay sympathizer person mocking someone over lgbt discourse when no one was saying that asexuals should be part of the group, and people were in fact talking about something else.

No one is "hijacking" a movement. "Hijacking" implies malicious intent and they're literally not doing anything to hurt gay rights.
