You can spot a society's degeneracy and pamperedness by how much attention it puts to sex, like Eskimo put to snowflakes.

BTW. Compare the woke and all its "I'm a transmetropolitan crabman gay heterosexual etc. DON'T YOU DARE TO MISPRONOUN ME" stuff with Medieval royality titles, like "By God's grace King of /pol/, Duke of Mu, 2nd Earl of Cucumberland, Viceroy of Sussex, Voivoide of Nowhere, Count of Transylvania, Sorrow of Molvania etc." (yep, there's literally "etc." in the title) and how deep would be the shit you'd get yourself into if you mistook an Archduke title with an Archprince during some royal feast - seems to me Shitheads are unconsciously larping as Society of Creative Anachronism.
 
I have a friend who pretends to be an aromantic (I know, not the same thing, but it's a similar issue) but I didn't quite believe it. The more time has gone on the more hints he drops that he's really just backwards (can interact with women well, but petrified of any sort of dating or flirting) and unhappy with it but too proud or embarrassed to admit it.

I mean, we're in a society where healthy reproductive behavior is arguably discouraged.

There really is no argument against this. A culture where women go to school in their most reproductive years and are told they can do anything a man can (mostly true) and that they should persue careers (antifertility). Use of contraceptives is heavily encouraged and abortion is available to all at little cost.
Homosexuality, transexuality and other nonproductive sexualities are heavily promoted in media and street parades and children's library hours. People are trained to verbally and socially attack those who argue against these to the point where many people decide to be hold their tongue.

There are practically no media depictions of functional or loving families.

Rockefeller funded programs related to this, consider the jaffe memo of 5 decades ago and see how many of these have come to pass in those 5 decades since

A sexuality is what defines who a person is attracted to. It is what defines the sex a person prefers.

Heterosexuality is the generic sexuality. Men like girls and vice versa. Gay is where men like men or women like women. Bisexuality is when someone likes both sexes.

In my eyes, a sexuality is to define which sex a person is attracted to. If you aren't attracted to neither, then tbh, you don't really have a sexuality. You're just there. And not attracted to anyone.

Being attracted to nothing is still a stance of attraction, just like zero is still a quantity. The same goes for atheism. The lack of a thing is itself a thing.
 
Asexuality is typically called Anhedonia. Its the inability to experience pleasure. This is a hallmark of certain mental conditions, such as depression and anxiety, where sex drive is greatly reduced and interaction with anyone is basically not desired. Some people do not have a sex drive, but these are usually disease states.

There's a condition for women where sex is extremely painful for them. Its called dyspareunia. This would make women avoid sex and sexual contact with men. This would also make someone asexual. There is a similar condition in men where erections become extremely painful.

In addition to that, there are various other disorders such as social anxiety, agoraphobia, aspergers/autisim, where sexual contact is perceived as scary, unwanted or not desired.

People who describe themselves as asexual are typically idiots who don't have any of these problems and want to be unique, but still masturbate to porn and have sexual feelings. Nobody will willing define themselves as asexual. They'd say they have a very low sex drive, or it doesn't interest them or its due to past trauma or someone is so depressed that sex with another person seems like so much effort it isn't worth it.

Asexuality is an abnormal condition. Low libido does not equal asexual. It is not a legitimate sexuality because it primarily indicates disease states, mental and physical. It doesn't count because you still have a preference of the opposite sex or same sex when you are asexual. But for reasons listed above, you just don't have any sexual relationship or desire them. So therefore, it cannot be a legitimate sexuality. It is a disorder or a label to make someone unique.
 
Notice how nobody unattractive considers themselves asexual. I'm sad I didn't archive it, but I saw a bimbo earlier; 10k follower NSFW artist, of course, who also posts naked selfies constantly, go on about how asexual and devoid of arousal and "gee, I wish-" they were.

Sure, fat blobs often claim their lack of action is the result of them not wanting it, but dear lord is not being into sex the new "I love sex" with the same outcome.
 
From my observations (emphasis on observation, not fact), almost every fucking person I encountered on tumblr (emphasis on Tumblr, which does not equate to the general population) who claims they are asexual, were simply using this as some weird-ass gateway to homosexuality. They "claimed" they had no sexuality, but they almost always had a thing for yaoi/yuri/insert gay shit here.

Even on a personal level, I noticed this with a friend who had her own tumblr blog, she posted alot Hetalia, Homestuck, insert boring ass weeb-inclined fandom crap usually with gay male pairings. We gradually became less and less close as friends as the years went by, she couldn't handle a joke/playful comment at all and would be just rabid so I decided to never talk to her anymore but just follow her blog I guess. So 'she' became a he is now into women (so I guess a lesbian) despite it was never a thing before, and still blogs yaoi/smut. I decided to just not keep up with the blog because it was just weird and he might as well have become a stranger to me.

So basically, i dont think 'he' was ever an asexual genuinely, it was just some way to seem interesting until they really took a dive into sexual/gender lunacy. To be fair, 'he' was always kind weird, some whitewashed biracial (asian+white) weeaboo,kind of spergy, resented any guy who was interested in him that didn't resemble an anime boy.

'He' wasn't even the only person that I've noticed who did a similar thing, there are/were a good amount of people who label themselves as asexuals but clearly had homosexual interests to the point of sharing just straight up porn anyways.

Personal story aside, do I believe asexuality is a thing?

Yeah, but not the way snowflakes (such as my former friend and other Tumblr users) treat it.

I think there's a fine line between having a low libido and being a genuine asexual.

There's plenty of people who just don't have a sex drive much for whatever reason, could be medical, psychological, or just genuinely disinterested.
I wouldn't say that makes them straight up incapable of having a sexuality/sex life. You can prefer being wholesome/platonic a lot of the time but still have an "oomph" when need be I feel. People think I'm an asexual because they see me as prude, but like- i just dont think it's their business and I prefer being very private with these kinds of things. It doesn't mean I have no genital dude!

But yeah- I'm not sure if i have ever met a 'real' asexual or will really.
I think you really would have to have some kind of serious issue for you to have 0 sexual interest, no offense.
 
If a person isn't just using this identity to get attention (this identity is boring as fuck, why would you use it to get attention anyway) then I do think many of you have a point when you say it is a disorder. It can be rooted in insecurity about oneself and fear to be intimate with someone, or it can be a symptom of hormone imbalance or mental illness. Does it need to be treated? That, I'm not sure about. Society doesn't use conversion therapy on gay people anymore. Is not wanting to have sex really that debilitating on one's life? ... I personally don't think so. But I'm no expert.

The only self-proclaimed asexual I've ever met in real life was a horrifically morbidly obese man who was constantly drenched in sweat and had a receding hairline that looked about twenty years older than his actual age. He worked (still does, I think) full time in the electronics department at Wal-Mart and still lived with his mom at 25.

I'm pretty sure his "asexuality" was just cope.

When I was in high school, I confided to close friends that I was asexual. One of my other friends in my close group identified as asexual as well. Many of you will doubt it but I genuinely did identify with it, and had no sex drive at all. But this other person I knew who called himself asexual was morbidly obese, one of the fattest people in our high school. He was only a tad bit taller than me and he weighed what I would estimate as 350lbs, if not more. I have my suspicions now that he used the identity to get closer to me, because he very clearly had an attraction to women and on several occasions groped me and flirted with me. He would constantly give me compliments on my appearance, which made me uncomfortable.

Was he using the identity because he was insecure about his appearance? Probably. Is every asexual person a predator in disguise, or an incel? That's debatable. When I hear men say it I definitely have my doubts.
Now I won't really powerlevel any more about myself, but now my skepticism about asexuality has made me come to the conclusion that it is a disorder, not a real identity, and I don't identify as such any more, although I do still definitely have some of the qualities of it.

I'll take those puzzle pieces now.
 
I recently stumbled upon a Reddit post that made a really good point regarding this, and when I clicked on the user's profile, lo and behold they had been banned from Reddit as a whole for daring to express this opinion.

I can't find a single flaw in their argument, and I'm honestly really on their side regarding this issue. Why are asexuals lumped into the LGBT spectrum? Do they not realize a good deal of asexual people are right wing, anti-pornography, still date the opposite sex, etc? The actual "LGBT" people tend to be highly sexual and very left-wing and most of them despise asexuals as you can see by visiting subreddits such as r/exclusionist where gays and trannies hate on asexuals and call them hateful incels, etc.

TL;DR asexuality isn't LGBT and forcing asexuals to be around LGBT individuals is actually harmful and disrespectful to them.
 
I'm not entirely convinced asexuality is real (or if it is, it's fairly uncommon and often conflated with low libido or people more generally uninterested in sexual relations) based on reading through the AVEN thread, but assuming it is I find it hilarious anyone would think asexuals should be included in the over-sexed and extraordinarily deviant LGBT community.
 
Feelsgood to see plebbit just be Skeptic Tumblr.

I really agree with this post and I feel really sorry for this person. Unfortunately we closing in on/are in peak Weimar territory and nothing will get fixed until we all realise the status quo is dysgenic of human greatness, that rocking the boat has never worked and that people only pay attention when the boat is sinking. This poor person's struggle is a synecdoche of that of most people in the west and outright homeomorphic to the shape of the nightmare yet to come for us all.
 
T shouldn't even be with LGB. Hell, none of them should be together. Sick of all this "POC" and "LGBTQIAA2+" crap making it "white people and everyone else" and "straights and everyone else". It's so divisive.
