Is Asexuality Achievable?

Post Reply New Topic

I believe Asexuality can be achievable depending upon your brain chemistry and testosterone levels.

I don't think asexuality is achievable in any conscious way. Chemistry and hormones are only part of the story. Asexuals don't have hormone problems and still they don't feel sexual attraction, which is the definition of asexuality.

I believe it can be achievable if you have low testosterone levels, differences in thyroid, brain chemistry. I may be wrong but there has to be some underlying physical difference between sexual and asexual human beings. I am not saying that is a bad thing actually I believe asexual people have a higher rate of success because they are not preoccupied with reproducing, sexual partners, dating....

Asexuality hasn't so far been well-studied, so it needs more research. I don't know, it could have some physical difference, who knows? I don't think there is, though, not in hormone levels anyway, that's a fact. And I can totally tell you that it really is a "blessing". I don't speak for others, though. I know there are some asexuals who would actually like to be sexuals.

Hmmm, for me, it's not so much what the heart wants...

Yes, by finding other stuff worth doing. I'm at a different stage of life to you though, maybe in 20 years I'll change my mind.

Believe me I have tried. My luck with women has been horrible. How bad? In Florida, one girl thought I might be a serial killer and told one of my friends she'd call the cops if I got near her. THAT BAD.

But I am in Panama now, where most girls are ugly, and the ones that look cute are extremely arrogant. It is the way things are here. Bars, casinos, any social place is frequented by prostitutes, and the only places where you might meet women are schools or workplaces, and I work alone. So asexuality is something that can be pulled off here, given the fact that maybe I have no choice.

Regarding the sexuality aspect: I've known a couple of women who took anti-depressant medications to purposefully lower their libidos (even though they weren't depressed), because they had moral oppositions to sex but were struggling with temptation. I guess one person's "side effect" is another's therapeutic effect I suppose that's an option but it seems a bit extreme to me.

The great part about this garbage is that my testosterone is clinically too HIGH and I'm still asexual.




Ah, the people who confuse drive with attraction...

After a bad relationship I've promised myself never to fall in love again, and so far I do quite well. I think being in love and having a relationship would make my life to complicated.

Every now and then I miss having someone that loves me and will be there for me if I need him/her, but most of the time I feel better alone.

I do am a bit afraid that I'll never be able to have a solid relationship with someone. Friends are ok, but also only on a certain level. There will always be a distance.

What's the difference between Asexuality and sex phobia? because most asexuals find the idea of sex disgusting or fearful.

I always thought that asexuals were completely indifferent to sex - niether desiring nor fearing it.

Would those romantic fiction / dramas be a factor? They just give unrealistic fantasy about relations.

I think so... It seems like people are supposed to be in a relationship, it's 'weird' to be single and not looking for a relation

sex is fine with me. i just never have an appetite for it.
i have no fear or disgust. i just never think about it much.


sex is whatever to me.
(doesn't that say a lot to people who like to use the phrase "whatever".)

well whatever.

That pretty much describes my understanding of asexuality - sounds pretty good to me, but someone recently commented that it makes them feel impossibly out of touch with world...
