The thing with asexual, is that lack of sex drive is quite often a symptom of a medical issue. Instead of going to their doctor, getting tested and appropriately treated where necessary, they are waving a silly flag instead. And it's not as if it's just sex, if something is physically wrong it will be causing other issues. Low testosterone, which is a reason for lack of sex drive in men and women, also causes sarcopenia, bone density loss and excess fat gain. Lots of people are letting their bodies deteriorate needlessly rather than accept they have a medical issue, as opposed to a special identity.

This!

Libido changes was one of the symptoms on our brain tumour checklist, back when I was doing cancer research!

That can't be the cause in my case, because my libido for kinks is unbelievably high.

Your kinks are partial facial paralysis, dribbling, walking with a limp and shitting yourself?

Never mind, carry on.

Oh. I thought you were making a joke with your previous post.

No, I'm serious.

In all fairness, going to the doctor for sexual issues and getting treatment only works if the doctor takes you seriously, isn't woke, and you're male. If you're a woman, you just get a comforting pat on the head and are told you haven't met the right guy yet and maybe a referral to a therapist. If you're a guy with sexual issues, you get a whole bunch of medical and hormone tests done to find the root of the problem.
