Why do you believe it’s something that needs to be cured?

For the record, asexuality has been struck from the DSM. It’s not a mental illness and is no longer treated as a disorder.

If we want to look at whether something should be “researched to treat”, then we should probably ask the group of people in question. The vast majority of asexual people are happy with being asexual. You can’t “cure” being asexual because there’s nothing wrong there to begin with. If you asked about research on why asexual people exist, that would be a different matter.

Similar to trans people. We’ve found that the most effective treatment for the gender dysphoria / distress that trans people experience due to their identity is gender affirming healthcare. So transitioning is remedy in this case.

Thank you for the links- I'll have a read of them all and think about it, and if I remember I'll come back to comment

So, can you prove any of that either? Or is it just your belief?

I'll do more research on the matter, but from what I HAVE read, it doesn't seem as "on the fence" as you portray it to be.

Thank you! If you're currently in uni, hope this year goes great for you too :)

You're implying that Lucy Letby is innocent, then?

How do you know it will make people uncomfortable?

How do you know it's disrespectful?

You are not the moral authority on it, despite your Japanese partner and you living there for six months.

You have no right to say such things.

Because you can still enjoy sex? You can feel no sexual attraction towards a person and still want sex, and enjoy sex and feel the desire to have sex, i.e a sex drive?

Again, there's a difference between sexual attraction and libido. Asexual people do not experience attraction, but they are still capable of having a high libido, or wanting to masturbate because it feels good, or wanting to have sex because it feels good.

Asexual people are also on a spectrum- some are indifferent to having sex, and some are averse / repelled by the idea of it. Some enjoy it as you would a "hobby". But they all share the same trait, more or less: that they don't experience sexual attraction towards people.

If you want to know more, r/asexuality is probably a good sub to visit.

I'm really confused about the "Save a lot of products" and "Cup of Noodles".

I mean, what if she orders a filet mignon and chocolate for dessert? What if she orders water with her T-bone steak?

It makes no sense.

Why not?

Then it would defeat the point of a Venn diagram, no?

The "ad hominem" argument you're pulling is hilariously hypocritical.

So I asked you:

please give me your reason as to why you think it's okay to make unsolicited comments about being sexually tempted by women on a fasting sub.

And in response I get things like this:

Making sexual comments in every single conceivable context is creepy?

Nope. I specified the context: a fasting sub. Nice try though.

​

Photos of the body are obviously not automatically sexual.

Yes I am assuming they are after validation, (and you're assuming that it is sexual validation, at that)

Be careful, you're so close to getting the point. It might hurt you when you work it out.

​

I think my arguement has more evidence than you assuming I'm a sexist retard.

That was your assumption, not mine. Your argument thus far is based on assumptions and willful ignorance. So there is no evidence, you're just looking for an excuse to defend people giving clearly unwanted sexual attention.

Because god forbid people like you control themselves and display some decency and respect, right? I hope you have the day you deserve.

You're under the assumption that she's fishing for a sexual response. Why?

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

This is a fasting sub. She has posted pictures of her progress in regards to losing weight, and there is a visible difference.

YOU'RE simplifying it to "she's posting pictures of her ass!!"

Which isn't the case.

If you're looking for women to sexualize, go and find one of the many porn subs. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut and leave well alone.

And considering your comment history, it's no wonder why you're a homophobe. You don't want to be treated the same way you treat women.

I,,,,, think that's really fucking strange.

Two options:

1. Never mention it again. It's done, you've cleaned, nothing has to be said- unless it happens again, in which case that's probably a discussion you need to have.
2. Tell her gently. Ask her what happened, if she's okay etc. Try not to embarrass her about it.

I’m aware.

To clarify then, did you mean by getting hurt being a punishment that it’s…. right to cover someone’s medical bills?

They should be covered regardless of crimes and regardless of how bad those injuries are. It’s not a “and / or / but” scenario.

Physical consequences aren’t the same as legal consequences. Being badly hurt doesn’t mean you didn’t commit the crime.

"You can't be asexual if you have the desire to have sex."

That is what you said- which is untrue.

You're talking about sex drive, libido, etc. Asexual people have sex drives. What they do NOT have is sexual attraction.

That is why I made the distinction in my comment above.

That’s really not how asexuality works lol, but okay.

Libido =/= sexual attraction.

Ah yes, the man who speaks for everyone.

Maybe take your own advice? You're clearly only here to be rude.

​

This person could have just posted numbers and we would all be supportive and impressed.

Ah, but because she posted pictures we're entitled to make comments about her body? Instead of still being supportive and impressed, without being weird or sexual? Good to know what sort of person you're like.

Question for you, would you do the same if it was a man? Probably not.

​

Humans enjoying looking at humans is creepy now.

That's not what I said, but clearly, you can't read. Making sexual comments is creepy, work on your reading comprehension.

​

Thanks for the down votes.

I didn't downvote you, but you're welcome.

​

Pics are there for a reason, don't be naive.

What reason do you think that is? Please, enlighten me.

You're certainly not naive, and I'm not naive enough to miss the fact that you're implying she's posting pictures of her body for sexual attention.

So yes, please give me your reason as to why you think it's okay to make unsolicited comments about being sexually tempted by women on a fasting sub.

What was the point of your comment?

?

That's really not appropriate. Can she not exist without people like you making weird comments...?

Yeah no, that's creepy.
