asexuality

[KillerGremlin]

I've heard of asexuals before..although the term is more fitting in Biology class describing small micro organisms that reproduce with themselves.

5 entries found for asexual.
a·sex·u·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-sksh-l)
adj.
1. Having no evident sex or sex organs; sexless.
2. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction that occurs without the union of male and female gametes, as in binary fission or budding.
3. Lacking interest in or desire for sex.

However, seeing as how our society has no problem grouping everybody, asexual is a logical category. Although, we all know that no one is by definition asexual. People have a sex drive, and if you don't, there is something wrong with you, ie depression or mental health issues. Not having sex because you're ugly or something.....that's not really asexual. But, the definition works I suppose. Stupid media labeling things with fancy words. It's downright annoying.

I had a couple of friends in high school who labeled themselves as asexual. One of them has since come out of the closet (he's gay). But in general, it is just that they had no interest in sex at all.

Technically smurfs can be categorized as asexual for all of these reasons.

Asexual? Maybe it's just a percent of people who have a sense of humour, because that's damn funny.

Look at killer gremlins definitions.

It means both.

And it would suck to be that way. And I agree with Killer...it's just not right. One of the fundamental characterstics of a species or living being is reproducing. If you don't want to do that, than you have some sort of disorder.

Yet it's amazing how it works...by not wanting to reproduce, you most likely won't, and thus your defective genes are slowly but surely removed from the human race, and can't be passed on.

It may be a human trait, or it may be human choice.

Traits have an affect on decisions, but they do not solely determine them. "Asexuality," which shouldn't have the modern definition due to complications with clarity, will... "live."

Y'made a decent point, at least.

Human trait or human choice, that human is not working like a human should work.

Any human who never reproduces has effectively eliminted his genes from the human gene pool, taking care of the problem. I just always found that concept interesting.

My point was that it doesn't take care of the "problem."

Asexualness sounds great. Just think of the how much more time a person has in each day without any sexual obligations. Becoming asexual, one could dedicate all time and effort to business and self promotion. For anybody who desires money and power, becoming an asexual would be the key to success! If only I could create some kind of invention to induce asexualness within non-asexuals. My dream of fame and fortune would be much more easier to grasp if I was asexual.

Need to make some quick cash? Sue someone for asexual harassment! How is it done? It's as easy as 1-2-3! Simply stand near someone who is not making any sexual advances or gestures and BAM! You got yourself an asexual harrassment case!

This applies to homosexuals as well. By desiring someone of your same sex, you basically deny yourself the opportunity to reproduce because the possibility simply doesn't exists and yet society has moved toward viewing homosexuality as normal and even natural. According to this thought, homosexuality should be viewed as a disorder.
