for the record: i changed my vote to "other", because
1. apparently pansexual and omnisexual are according to many people "basically bisexual", which I am not 2. i like furries and other fantastical creatures, so pansexual doesn't really encompass everything I am because furries aren't even human (the drawings, people... not the suit-wearers)
also, note2self and others: stop humoring gameboy, he is a projecting psychotic, like Milo Yannopolous.

Asexuality probably belongs on a different axis to heterosexual <---> homosexual. I don't think it's necessarily a mental illness or disorder though.

Burn them all at the stake.

Ummm...okay Homosexuality is still seen as a mental illness in many many parts of the world, worthy of death. in the west, this was the case too, not long ago. just figured i should clarify since you seem confused by my use of bitter sarcasm.

So many people have those similar issues yet don't refer themselves as asexual. I think it has more to do with wanting to feel different from most people and probably because they're already different in other ways such as socially and emotionally. They probably don't feel a connection to most people either and that could indicate a deeper problem or some mental illness. Wow, you really hit the nail on the head! I have a friend who has Asperger's and says he hasn't had sex in about 20 years. He identifies as gay as men were the gender he used to have sex with, but also as asexual as he said his sex drive just kind of dissipated. He also seems to love being different. (It's kind of annoying at times.) But he's also extremely intelligent and he said that he has sublimated (gosh, I love that word) his sex drive into other channels. He's such a wizard at different things that I can't help but believe him. He's also ultra-sensitive and I would say genuine almost to a fault (that sounds weird when I type it out) that somehow the physical thrill of sex is not, for lack of a better word, spiritual enough for him. His thing is music. Music music music. I tell you it's music. And he does, like you have also said, have problems connecting with other people. I also think maybe sex confuses him. I don't think he understands normal give and take. Poor guy. I have Asperger's and I am the exact opposite. I am a sex addict. I understand his music obsession though. My thing is movies and sex. No matter how hard I try I can't become interested in other things or hobbies and don't even really have any desire to do other things.

The sheer assumptions people make about the people they don't know is absolutely mind boggling. If somebody is different then they have got to be mentally ill! At least think well of other groups if you don't care to educate yourself. List of assumptions that have no basis and is coming from people's ass. 1) Asexual people do not have romantic relations with others. Lol someone doesn't understand difference between aromantic and asexual. 2) Asexual people are mentally ill . ( it would require an asexual person to feel severe distress because of lack of sexuality that inhibits his or her functioning to be called mentally ill). 3) Asexuality is choice because people want to feel special - OH OK, quacks. Celibacy is choice not asexuality. Now people can continue with their stupid beliefs but none of that is supported by actual facts and views of medical and psychiatric experts. It is like stupid heteros deciding how homosexuality is mental illness because they are too stupid to think not everybody is supposed to be like them. Lol at people putting their own assumptions to people who are different from them. Wait a second. We're talking about a sexual orientation. My problem here is that "asexuality" is being called a sexual orientation on par with others. Human beings are sexual creatures. That's why we have genitals and hormones. Be honest with yourself instead of being politically correct. Are not humans and all animals designed to be sexual beings? And if they are, how are we 'talking out of our ass' when we say asexuality is an illness? And it's not only you, but the leadership of the LGBT rights movement who are equating asexuality to homosexuality. Because homosexuality is healthy and normal, that does not mean every sexual aberration from bestiality to pedophilia is normal and healthy as well. No, I don't want asexuals trying to turn my movement for freedom of healthy sexuality into a joke which advocates every bizarre perversion known to man. And sorry, crazy people don't have to feel distress with their craziness in order to be crazy. But we can say as people who have full satisfying romantic and sexual relationships with other human beings that we are healthier. I may not be as a happy as an imbecile drooling and laughing at a piece of string. But I know I'm living a complete life. Asexuals are not. They need treatment, not pandering to their illness. People use to think that accepting homosexuality as normal and healthy would eventually lead to having to accept pedophilia as normal and healthy too. Just saying. Asexuality isn't hurting anyone. Pedophilia and beastiality are illegal for a reason, because they are directly harming another living thing. This is why these two sexual acts will always be illegal. There is nothing unhealthy about so called Asexuality. I find your reasoning on this matter a bit absurd. You keep bringing up the word "unhealthy" and equating it with mental illness. "normal" people do far more unhealthy and self-destructive things all the time than people who consider themselves asexual. I do agree that asexuality should not be added to the LGBT agenda though, because asexuality seems to be something else entirely.

Pedophilia and beastiality Correction: child rape and interspecies rape in other words, rape. pedo philia = attraction to children bestality = interspecies sexual activity (the term itself does not address consent) disclaimer: i am no way implying that children and animals are able to consent to sex. just get your fucking vocab right.

disclaimer: i am no way implying that children and animals are able to consent to sex. I know all of that. I expected that people would understand what I meant, BUT perhaps I should have worded it more carefully.

"normal" people do far more unhealthy and self-destructive things all the time than people who consider themselves asexual. I do agree that asexuality should not be added to the LGBT agenda though, because asexuality seems to be something else entirely. I think bestiality is as sick as asexuality. But I wouldn't make either illegal. It's probably better for the pig that you have sex with it than kill it and eat it. Just saying. Sexuality is a basic human drive. If one is devoid of that drive they either have a physical illness, like lack of hormones or injured genitals. Or they have a mental problem. I see no way around that. I compare asexuality to blindness. Blind people should be accepted and can live normal lives. But blindness is still an illness. Yet killing a pig and eating it is considered a normal and healthy act, but there a many people who find that sick. You still seemed to miss my point. Even IF it is an illness (which I disagree with) it is an illness that isn't effecting other people's lives or the life of the person with the illness, unless it is making them unhappy. My question is, why do you care? How does this effect your life?. There is clearly something that overly bothers you about these people. Asexuals sound like completely harmless people. Am I missing something? A mental illness is only a negative thing if it is harming other people or the person with the mental illness. These people are able to lead normal lives besides the sex aspect. They still are happy and have jobs and friends etc. it is just their sexuality that is different. It isn't up to you what is considered a mental illness btw. Homosexuality was also considered a mental illness once upon a time. You don't seem to really have a very good understanding of people with mental disabilities and that makes sense because you don't have a mental disability. It is not your place to judge the life of these people or to say what is best or healthy for them. There are people that are normal and lead "healthy" lives that don't have the same feelings towards their life POV as you. I think your thoughts on the matter are ignorant and very short sighted.
