Of the scant scientific evidence that exists on asexuals, much of it points to social conditioning as reasons why someone would report that they've never experienced sexual attraction to anyone before. Muslims and middle easterners are much more likely to identify as asexual than their non-Muslim, non-middle eastern counterparts

Have their clitorises been removed?

I legitimately can't imagine not enjoying or wanting to have sex ever. I don't mean that I don't believe it exists, but it is truly an alien idea

Also, if any asexuals are reading, please shut the gently caress up. No one cares who you gently caress so it stands to reason they don't care who you don't gently caress.

I'm not asexual but it's loving ridiculous how co-workers think it's acceptable to stick their snouts into my business.

What about when you're a literal child and don't have adult sex hormones
Also apparently the contraceptive pill can cause chronic hormone deficiency if used long term (e.g. for therapeutic reasons)

I mean you can't help but wonder how often these issues discussed in the field of identity politics can be explained by hormones being hosed up

If someone claims from youth onward (ie is a virgin) and identifies as asexual, how do they justify politicizing sex? Sex they've never had? Isn't that what Ted Haggard did before he came out of the closet? Stall, whatever?

I think that this is dumb. The real dumb thing is that people feel pressured by society to have certain viewpoints on stuff like sex. That causes stupid poo poo like this to emerge.

Why can't we all... just get along?

The real catch 22 is actual asexuals would never raise a fuss about this poo poo, just blend into the background. Because why the gently caress would they care.

I'm acquainted with a stupid idiot girl who identifies as asexual and constantly complains about people hitting on her and the overall focus on sexuality in the media, gay or straight

I fell in love with one and was trapped until the conversation I had with her where she explained her condition known as aromanticism. Then something clicked and I moved far away from that individual in space and time.

Apparently they get the urge to get off, physically. Though they claim to not fantasize about anything for the "mechanical act," likening it to being hungry or tired.

I never thought I'd find the idea of getting physical with a sexy dude hot until I gave it shot, then whelp.

I'm still convinced that they are low on testosterone or just full of poo poo.

i know a dude who is like that with food. like he doesnt ever look at some delicious looking food and think "mmm that looks good, i wanna eat that, yum", he just eats for sustenance and i picture him treating masturbation the same way.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Assuming for a moment there is a biological/genetic reason for asexuality, I wonder if there is similarly an environmental factor in the form of increased awareness/promotion of the dangers of sexual relationships in the forms of pregnancy, STDs, abusive partners, etc. that might be causing a spike in social awareness.

It's not longer just some immeasurable internal lack of feeling that you can't explain to people, but you've got society giving you a lot of things that are reinforcing that viewpoint as to why NOT having sexually-oriented relationships are ultimately good.
