Asexuality

What do you think about it?

You know, you can't be sure if a person is asexual (unless he/she tells you), but I think you can understand it through his/him behaviour!

I also believe that sometimes it may be caused by a discomfort, maybe physical (e.g. a girl who dislikes her vulva and doesn't want to get naked in front of a boy).

I put it in the same illness category as schizophrenia.

 

i generally don't.

 

But can you "accept" that some people aren't into sex?
To me it's pretty strange that a person can be absolutely reluctant to sex...

Their are plenty of people in the world with disturbing mental disorders. It's just part of life.

 

So you're telling me that you believe that asexuality is a mental disease?

Usually chemical imbalance.

 

Yes. When a human absolutely doesn't desire to perform a natural bodily function there is without question physiological and psychological problems inherent within them. Whether that is a genetic deficiency or related to stimuli in their environment is up for debate though.

 

Good answer man.

 

Wow. Nice one!
Indeed, my question was born because I really can't understand a person who can't feel this need. It's absurd that a healthy girl in the middle of her 20s doesn't need it.

maybe it just nature taking over. Other animals stop breeding when they get over populated

 

A few hours ago I was listening to a radio show, they were talking about sexual desire and a professor said that the more a couple is economically carefree and the more the sexual desire is high.

Well, I know a couple who is perfectly assembled: both are very very stingy. And I've always thought they aren't into sex at all, didn't see them having sex!

It all makes sense.

I don't think that you can make this kind of absolute statement.

So, for example, celibate buddhist monks and nuns are really inherently diseased? In many spiritual traditions around the world, celibacy is part of spiritual development, usually included with a rigorous meditation practice.

My guess is that there are probably a few monks and nuns out there that are in better physical and mental health than you are.

 

Actually you must discern the willing of not having intercourses (like monks and nuns) and the total lack of sexual desire.

so it could be that the they are horny as hell and just keep it down, or have transcended sexual desire.

 

Don't know how they feel, but I guess they are able to keep it down, mentally and spiritually.

Anyway, I think that "asexuality" doesn't consider people who voluntarily practice abstinence, like monks and nuns or people who decide to remain virgin till the wedding.
So, the problem you're asserting doesn't exist.

Yup, celibacy and the complete lack of sexual desire are two very different things.

 

For people who are interested in the subject, there's a really good documentary on Netflix called (A) Sexual.

 

I dont desire to cry. I wonder what my physiological problem is.

 

Well, it's not properly the same thing, but have you ever heard the word 'empathy'?
It could be assimilated to the lack of emotions, so also to the lack of tears, in certain ways.
