"Asexuals"

From asexuality.org:

Asexual: A person who does not experience sexual attraction.

Is that really believable?
I can comprehend a person not being particularly sexual/sensual - I'm like that myself, but to not find anyone sexually attractive... surely that's an impossibility (deballed men excluded).

I don't care, it just means more for me!

I heard that late Autumn was the time where humans used to mate so everyone is full of lust. I have noticed myself checking out every single female that walks past me, though that is probably just because I'm a bloke.

Maybe they were sexually abused or repressed as a kid and they are blocking it out their mind.

In a word: puberty. All that hormonal change only to emerge the other side and - nothing. It doesn't ring true.

I find that to be very stange :S

Ooo, girls with berets.

They have to be that certain type, but schwing.

Anyway, why not? You have people attracted to the opposite or same sex, so why not no sex?

It is funny this topic should come up as I said to a friend I thought I was asexual when I couldn't be bothered going out on the pull with him as his 'wingman, oh yeah'.

Though, if that is actual definition then maybe I'm not. Especially after the overwhelming lust for the girl in the library accross from me with the beret, yum.

However, although I have been lacking on the old sexual activity front I'm not exactly bothered. I have no desire to go out and try and chat up anyone these days with the end product being a shag. I still like talking to people in general and can admire beauty (with an underlying lust) but I'm not really bothered at this point in my life to try and get another girlfriend whereas most other people seem only driven by it.

dupe post.

I dunno. What you're doing there is claiming to know someone elses mind intimately (pun intended), and saying they're wrong. No doubt there'll be some of these asexuals wearing the badge as a statement. I also don't think for a second there'll be genuine people that are asexual.

I'm just not going to say they're lying. 'cause that's the height of arrogance.

Same. :D

Nothing. I'm like that myself, but I wouldn't go round calling myself an asexual.

Feel zero attraction... Can sexuality ever be permanantly dormant? I doubt it.

But I'll put in a *shrug* as well. Just passing time.
