Yeah, I have a friend who told me this... I just try to be nice. They'll grow out of it eventually, lol.

And remember-- they are not LGB, they are "LGBTQ+." Drop the T, drop the Q, drop the +, please and thanks...

I sympathize with actual asexuals who are sexually attracted to no one. That is a sexual orientation in its own right, though a very tiny one (like L G and B are). But many people are just fine not having sex regularly, are happy being single, are not attracted to most people they meet, etc. and I think it's sad that people who call themselves "demisexual" feel that their experience is so belittled that they are in a minority. People like that are actually quite common!

Perhaps if there were less shaming (in Western countries) of people who don't want to have sex every second of their lives, people who call themselves "demisexual" would not feel so alone and would realize how common their experience is.

Asexuality is not a sexuality any more than atheism is a religion. It’s an absence of sexuality and does not in any way belong with LGB. The idea that it’s a spectrum is just ludicrous.

I don't think it belongs with the LGB. But I do think it exists, and is not just the result of medication or TQ+ lunacy or whatever else. I don't think it's a spectrum, either.

You could call it a "complete lack of sexuality" instead of a "sexual orientation," proper, but it IS a distinctive pattern of sexual arousal-- specifically, of no arousal.
