Fire & Rain Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Which outnumbers the other? I'm curious :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littleheartsofjoy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think the number of libidoist asexuals outnumber the nonlibidoist ones. I only know like 6 nonlibidoist aces, counting myself in that number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dethsdream Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 What is a libido, and how does it interact with asexuality? I'm sorry for my ignorance ( I think I may be nonlibidoist, but I'm not sure what exactly a sex drive is, since when I look it up everything is written from a sexual's perspective) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry for my ignorance ( I think I may be nonlibidoist, but I'm not sure what exactly a sex drive is, since when I look it up everything is written from a sexual's perspective) I'm libidoist and libido for me is I get horny at random times. It's a need for sexual release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry for my ignorance ( I think I may be nonlibidoist, but I'm not sure what exactly a sex drive is, since when I look it up everything is written from a sexual's perspective) Having a libido means that you experience a desire for sexual release (for asexuals this usually means that they masturbate, although I think you can have a libido and choose not to masturbate).

Xavy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I guess I am closer to a nonlibidoist based on my understanding of the word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I only know a handful of non-libidoists, but there are a lot of libidoists on the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kellam Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I believe the ratios are similar to other sexualities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There is probably a poll in census about this or, if not, you can make one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mindlife Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My sex drive is almost nonexistent. I do, however, have a strong romantic and affectional impulse. So while the number of libidoists might be greater, the quality of those libidos will vary much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amoeba-Proteus Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My guess is libidoists are more common than non-libidoists.I still feel out of place at times as a non-libidoist, because most asexuals seem to be libidoist in my experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
