People are all different

I'm glad that Asexuality is getting more attention. So many people have said, "Well, you must be attracted to somebody." To me it's like admiring a pretty vase, or a work of art. I can see that it's beautiful, but I still don't want to have relations with it.

There are many good reasons to eat! Hunger! Boredom! Wanting to be the world's fattest man! But not revenge.

True, without article (the or a), your reading totally makes sense

I genuinely wish I were an aro ace. I am generally able to draw a lot of satisfaction, enjoyment, and contentment from pursuing my hobbies and interests. Unfortunately I still have a very strong drive/desire for relations of all kinds with someone I find mentally and physically attractive. Unfortunately being on the spectrum makes things even more difficult than it already is for everyone in that regard. Such is life though, we all struggle with something.

And here I am, both ace and hate eating.

I’ll allow it

I strongly feel like I'm O+, and there should not be any A or Bs in my public bathrooms!

Being allosexual sounds exhausting. You get some kind of feels for a person just by looking at them? I can't wrap my head around that. Or sex drives. I don't mind participating, but I could live the rest of my life not having sex just like I could live the rest of my life not eating a specific kind of cereal.

To me sex is optional. I don't usually even think about it unless our allo centered world forces me to.

I like dick, but I'm not that into sex tbf. Regular sex is just a task for me. But.. since I'm a woman, once a month I get horny as fuck

Why have sex when you can have cake?

Because the cake is a lie, duh

You just haven't met the right vase yet.

And here I am, sex-repulsed asexual. The whole sex thing is just incredibly gross, and I’m taking this virginity to my grave (I’m 39, I’m over halfway there!) and no one can stop me. I’ve never even been sexually aroused at all.

Indeed, all types are present.

Surely you see how saying "I don't like sex" and "I have sex" seem contradictory, right? If you express those two ideas how is it not logical to conclude that you're either just an idiot or are talking about rape? How does those two statements lead to the conclusion of "you most be asexual"?

If your a person who has sex, what makes you asexual and not a person with low libido?

That step 1 is the bit I have trouble with. I can picture people I don't like who I don't want sex with (though also some I do)

As I understand it, some ace people find sex gross and obviously want to avoid anything relating to it it, but some are neutral towards it. If they are with a partner that likes sex, then they may enjoy having sex because it makes their partner happy. Or maybe they find the physical sensations enjoyable, but not looking at porn/people. Or maybe they just want to do it for good prostate health.

They are not contradictory because "I don't like sex" (which I didn't actually say) doesn't necessarily imply "I dislike the idea of sex".

Think of some other animal then. Are you fond of anything but also don't want to fuck them? The horny libido light just never turns on.

You really have no people you like but don't want to have sex with? No one who's like 8 or 80?

It really was a joke. I guess tone doesn't carry over in text when one makes no attempt to show it

I don't understand why you need to do public something that is supposed so be part of your private life. What do you expect to get from society when you show your sexual or non sexual preference? You will be always be rejected by a portion of it. Just because you are different. For me is irrelevant what other choose, they are people just like me and that's enough. I don't have to discuss about those things with anyone. It's the choose and freedom as humans.

As far as I understand, the whole point is that some people don't think it's irrelevant and discriminate others based on their sexuality (or lack thereof). So they make it public and open up about it to show that it is not bad and lots of people are like that - that's kinda the whole point of the pride parades I think?
