Ssss123 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 If I don't enjoy masturbating then I'm probably asexual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lovrina Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 False! Libido and sexual attraction (to other people) are two completely separate things. There certainly are asexual people that don't like to masturbate, but that isn't causation. There are tons of (allosexual) people that don't like to masturbate for a number of reasons. So, you might be asexual, but I don't think an aversion to masturbating is an accurate judge for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xavy Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I would have to say false, because asexuality is generally defined as a lack of or rarely experiencing sexual attraction to others, and weather you like masturbaing or not doesn't indicate how you experience sexual attraction.

Frigid Pink Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I define "asexuality" as "no desire for partnered sex." Other possible definitions are "an enduring lack of sexual desire for others" as well as "an enduring lack of sexual inclinations/feelings towards others." Basically, an "asexual" person isn't drawn towards sexual interaction with others. Beyond that, it varies from person to person, regardless of sexual orientation. Many people seem to equate "asexuality" with things that have more to do with personality traits (such as introversion) or general interests and preferences (such as aversion to touch or dislike of kisses), which even "sexual" people can have and share (some "sexual" people don't like to hold hands or don't have "sex dreams" and so on).

RK800 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Gonna have to go with false. Such an action, at least to my knowledge, has little to do with orientation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyFenton123 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 False! As people said above, asexuality is a lack of desire for partnered sex. Masturbation has more to do with libido :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deltaX Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I would say false! There are asexuals who do not enjoy masturbating (myself included!), but it varies from person to person. There are asexuals here who do enjoy masturbation, and sexuals who for what ever reason don't enjoy masturbation. As a few others have already said, masturbation has to do with the libido or sex drive a person has, while asexuality deals exclusively with the attraction you feel for other people. The two things can be related, but they don't always have to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
