Ah Hell No...

So I was looking up videos on youtube from the show 20/20 and I came across an interesting video on asexuality. According to 20/20, asexuality is when you are not attracted to a man nor a woman and you have absolutely no desire for sex. So 20/20 interviews a group of asexual people that discuss claims that sex is overrated and they enjoy being asexual.

Personally speaking, there's no way in hell I'd want to live life with out sex. I think that's too important of a component in a relationship. I'm not talking just intercourse but I'm talking intimacy and that physical connection...hugs, kisses, feeling of bare skin against bare skin, etc. Orgasms are just icing on the cake.

If I ever decide to become asexual...someone shoot me.

Enjoy the segment...it's only about 8 minutes long.

I was discussing the subject with my son's best friend's parents the other day.
He is a wonderful boy, he is 12 and he has never ever been interested in sex.

My son and his friends have been curious about the subject for the past 2 years or so but Léo just doesn't know what they're talking about and he's simply not interested. His father says he is assexual.

I also knew a couple like that. They were deeply in love, they would have lived together forever, they looked very happy, but no sex at all. The man in the couple was my ex-husband who died recently. We had a sexless marriage for 5 years, I went nuts and he at some point had sex with a prosititute just to test himself. I went even nutter. It was far from being easy, a very painful chapter in my life :(

There is a big difference though between being celibate and being assexual. Some people just give up after not finding partners for a very long time and decide that sex isn't important.

Also some couples continue to live together after losing their sexual desire toward each other (sometimes quite early on in their relationship) and they remain faithful to one another. They just keep on living together without sex.

Personally, and Peter agrees, we will have sex even after our bones begin to squeek :D

There's one advantage I see to being asexual. If one didn't have sexual urges, very likely he/she would not have the urge to date. Seeking people to date, dating and then being in a relationship takes time. Also, he/she would not waste time fantasizing about sex.

Sooo, an asexual person very likely would put in a lot more hours at the office than a sexual person.

However, that being said, I would not give up being a sexual being, even if being asexual would make it easier for me to bill more hours! ;):D
