Since then I've come to terms with the fact that I'm different.

Ah, I see. Wow. Every aspect is different. Interestin' !

It wasn't the way I chose or developed. I just am this way, and my own experience is what leads me to believe that homosexuality is not a choice.

I'm asexual. It's kinda common in autistics.

Asexuality means having no desire for sex. It is something someone is born with. Would you ask a gay person how they became gay? No. Asexuality is an orientation, not a choice. A sexual person who chooses not to have sex is a celibate, not an asexual.

They need to check with doctor to find out where it come from and also test as well if they want to know about themselves...

Physical/Emotional/sexual trauma could be often reason why the people suffer absence of sexual desires.

Thanks for the grave insult.

No, we don't. Some of us are comfortable being this way, and so, why would we want to go to a doctor to be told that it's abnormal? We already get flack from certain people who think it's weird, so going to a doctor about this, would not help some of us.

If the person feels uncomfortable with it, and wants to change it, then they can take certain steps to deal with it. But, if that person considers it normal, why would they want to have someone else tell them differently, and try to "fix" it?

I agree with you, Oceanbreeze.

Yeah. Her comment kinda irked me, too.

gnulinuxman · 08-11-2006, 07:05 PM

Yeah, I'm sick of the "Don't you want to be fixed?" mentality, Oceanbreeze. I put my opinions on AVEN.

If only you knew what FelixKat said to me on AIM about asexuality, you'd be pissed. That's why I'm mad about this thread.

My lack of interest stems from abuse issues and other physical reasons.

My lack of interest comes from the fact that I just never had any interest.

I hear you about the atitudes of people. I don't like what alot of people say about this. For me, it's a choice to stay this way, and for the time being, I'm exercising it.

Which is fine. Nobody has the right to tell you how to live your life. If you're happy with the way you are, screw what anyone else thinks.

That's like telling a gay/lesbian person that there's something wrong with them just because they are gay or lesbian. I'm sorry, but your comment was just ...stupid.

And for the record, I'm bisexual.

Ah gotcha

I am aware of what asexual means but I was only saying that I am not knowledgeable in that area since I am not asexual. Anyhow, Thanks for the link and will be checking on that when I can

ChelEler · 08-14-2006, 08:21 PM

Wow. 258.

Did I say anything against gay/lesbain/bisexual? Please watch out what you are saying.

I only tried to protect the people who suffer asexual from some of posts who label asexual as werid. I explain in my post that I do NOT consider asexual as werid. Got it?

I only try to say in general way that if people who feel something wrong then check with doctor to find out.

It´s people´s choice if they want to get the help or not.

I made my post in general way without judge/point finger anyone here but suggestion. I wasn´t realized that my honest opinion is offend some of you...

I see no insult on my post but make my post in GENERAL way to explain that they need to check with doctor to find out if they want to know about themselves when they feel something wrong with them.

Exactly, that´s what I suggest if they feel uncomfortable (like what I say in my 2 previos posts) and want to know what wrong with them then go to doctor for check... If they feel something wrong then they need to go doctor for the check because they need to find out what´s wrong with them.

No, I do not consider asexual as werid... Please re-read my first post. I tried to protect asexual from the people who consider them as werid and suggest in general way without point finger/judge anyone here that they need to go doctor to find out why....

It´s people´s choice if they want to get the help or not.

Liebling:-))) · 08-15-2006, 08:42 AM

I wasn´t realized that my honest opinion annoy some of you... *walking away from this thread here

*

I find this thread here is interesting.... but I wasn´t realized that this thread here is too touchy. I´m total speechless.

Please re-read my post CAREFULLY...
