It’s not odd. We live in a world where there’s no affection… more than sex, we crave a warm hand on our shoulder. I feel that way too.

It’s not odd at all! Do what you feel is most comfortable for you to do! As long as you are happy it doesn’t matter what anyone else may think. Keep living your life and if its just the romantic cutesy things u like doing go ahead! Hopefully you find people that love doing these things too

@Firtaly , that’s not true. The same as some people have really high sex drives, some have none at all. They can later feel attraction sometimes because sexuality can be fluid, but others time, it’s solid and will not change.

It is totally possible to go through life without being sexually attracted to others.

and how do you guys know your asexual, like have you been diagnosed, by some sex therapist? any chance you could just be too unfit or lazy for some hot shag in the sack, like id think a lot of fatties or insecure people are asexual, from what ive read like chances of being asexual are 99-1

Deleted User said 9 years, 8 months ago:

well how do you classify for asexuality, you didnt tell me much except im uninformed, i thought asexuality was mainly for people who are schizoidal or have borderline schizoidal tendencies, yet i see everyday normal people who claim they are attracted to people, claiming to be asexual, when they have no sex drive, it makes no sense too me..asexual is no attraction to anything period.
ps no sex drive, doesnt always mean asexuality there are bunch of underlying problems that can cause it from physical to mental ones its about time to see like a doctor, if you dont get no pleasures from orgasms, as the chances of being asexual related is 1%,even physically good looking people can be unhealthy too, and have low sex drives coz of this.

Deleted User said 9 years, 8 months ago:

again i dont want spurn a discussion as im pretty uninformed and i have a very high sex drive, so i cant even relate, and i apologize to the genuine asexuals out there.:)

@limitless I was having a really bad day that day and I was just really tired of dealing with crap, so sorry for being rude. I just want you to realize that what you are saying is really hurtful. But I honestly don’t blame you. The problem is that there is so little education about asexuality, so there are many misconceptions surrounding it. Groups like AVEN are working on outreach programs though! I would suggest that you go read this to better understand what asexuality really is:

First of all, asexuality DOES NOT mean not having a sex drive. Many asexual people don’t have a sex drive and many do. It is purely not having sexual ATTRACTION. So there are a lot of asexual people who can get aroused, but it’s not attached to anyone and it’s just, like a physical sensation. The asexual people that don’t have a sex drive because of some medical “problem” don’t want to be “fixed” because they don’t see it as a problem. They are perfectly fine having purely romantic relationships and finding intimacy in other ways. Not having a sex drive can be a medical problem that can be fixed, but when you don’t feel a need for sex…well you don’t want sex because you don’t need it.

I’m not sure where on Earth you heard that most asexual people are diagnosed and have mental illnesses, but that is in no way true. Just by googling asexuality you could have educated yourself BEFORE coming on here and disrupting this thread, so please be more considerate next time.

I think you may have gotten asexuality confused with some medical condition, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Now take this now accurate knowledge and maybe educate yourself? Or if you don’t just don’t make misinformed comments like that again. Thank you.
