so are "asexual" people really not into sex or is that just some snowflake phase bullshit?
>>7873261
Yes they aren't physically attracted to anyone and don't get sexually aroused.
Why is this so hard to understand? Just take your life and remove all the sex stuff and that's it.
>>7873280
I don't believe you. I know an "asexual" girl who said she got horny looking at certain guys. I think low sex drive is one thing but being "asexual" sounds like made up bullshit
>>7873280
There's the misconception that people are only asexual because they can't get laid so they turn it around and saying they don't want to in the first place, but still feel entitled to a romantic partner
>>7873295
There are fake asexuals of course, just as there are transtrenders or fake gays/bis looking for tumblr snowflake points.
It doesn't mean there aren't legitimate people who just can't get aroused, just like the existence of transtrenders doesn't mean there aren't legitimate trans people.
i always felt like if you genuinely have no sexual attractions or feelings, that would be the result of some kind of hormonal disorder. like, how could someone who experienced puberty and had normal levels of sex hormones just feel nothing towards anyone?
>>7873327
The same way someone who has normal levels of testosterone for a man and still is gay. It's already been proven sex hormones don't have anything to do with sexuality.
>>7873361
Explain asexuals who fap to porn then
It sounds like if it's not hormonal, it's traumatic
asexuals are awful. They're like vegans, they'll tell you they're asexual 20 times a day, and yet they still fap to porn and shit.
Slutty girls I know claim to be "ace spectrum" what the fuck does that mean
sour grapes my dude
>>7873261
Asexual is an ingroup name.
Everyone else calls them incel.
>>7873319
The fake asexual and transgender percentage is pretty high these days. A lot of people I've met claim to be asexual and is it just coincidence that they are ugly as fuck? I don't think so.
asexuality isn't an orientation, it's a description your lack of sexual attraction/low sex drive
Being gay or bi or trans doesn't directly say anything about that (people are free to make assumptions, but still)
>>7873697
Losers that can't get laid and use asexuality as an excuse.
>>7873261
My ex identifies their gender as asexual, and says their sexual preferences are pansexual. From what i'm reading here right now that can't even make sense. They'd have to be non-sexual to be asexual right? I'm so confused :c
>>7875031
Pretty objective scientific analysis you have there.
>>7876611
That is like saying " she is not a woman,she is a lesbian. ".
Your friend is a retarded tumblrina.
>>7876632
Well i definitely agree with that. I think part of it is just to avoid the expectations of being a female, in a weird internalized way.
>>7873261
We exist, shocking and unbelievable as it may seem.
>>7873697
people make the argument that sexual trauma "creates" asexuals, and then in the same breath turn around and claim asexuals could be cured by " a good dicking." You can't have it both ways, and trauma doesn't create asexuals any more than it creates any other type of sexuality.
The latter, obviously.
>>7876669
Tell her the correct word is agender or non-binary.
Why do you think she doesn't want female expectations?
I just have 0 sex drive, no arousal or sexual wants/desires, I only fapped when I had nocturnal emissions because I'd rather bust in a tissue then in my pants

>legitimate people who just can't get aroused
this is a medical condition not an orientation
>>7873697
I'm easily distracted and can and will get distracted from masturbating. Porn is something I can mindlessly look at while I masturbate. I can't stand most porn so I have to keep it to a very specific thing that I can stand, but even then I'm spending more of the time on finding stuff to mindlessly watch than I am mindlessly watching it. I'm not using it for the content, I'm using it to fulfill another purpose.
>>7876589
Bullshit argument. A lot of people don't fully accept they they're asexual until they tried sex and found they hated it. And there are plenty who have regular sex (some for the sake of partners, others simply because orgasms feel good
>>7873261
I think that those who identify as "asexual" are just celibate, nothing more.
That or they have lower sex drive.
>>7873261
Asexual is just snowflake shit. Source: I don't really like sex but I don't pretend I'm a new sexuality for it.
It shouldn't be hard to beleieve someone can be asexual. Everyone was before puberty.
The hard part to believe is that its not related to messed up sex hormones or abuse and can't be fixed.
