Prisma Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 My ability to make rational decisions does not depend on the person I'm talking to! I can ALWAYS be rational! Also, You know how much time sexual people spend on porn, fantasies and masturbation? I can be inefficient as hell and still get more done! It's one thing less to waste my time on :) #prosofbeingasexual Link to post Share on other sites

fuzzipueo Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Spending time on my own is no big burden. If I need a friend there are telephones, emails, and IMs available to me. #prosofbeingasexual Link to post Share on other sites
Kitteridge Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Pro of being around ace guys: you can breathe clearly. They don't douse their bodies in Axe spray, with the idea that it'll make women throw themselves at him. :P Link to post Share on other sites

World domination always seemed to me like a total pain in the ass. I mean, it's hard enough to manage myself, so manage the whole world?! I could probably do it better than politicians, but no thank you xD However, an asexual would make the best villain/agent. In the movies they always go down because of their libido.

temporalscavenger Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sex-based advertising doesn't work on me. Found this on tumblr: How "Sexy Advertising" Works Straight Men: I want to do her (and ergo want the thing she's got by association). Straight Women: I want to be her (and ergo want the thing she's got by association). Lesbians: I want to both be her and do her (and ergo want the thing she's got by association). Asexuals: That hamburger looks really tasty, but shouldn't someone get that poor girl a coat before she freezes to death? I'll buy your product if I want to. If I ever see Guinness trying to sell me beer with sexualized ads I'm not sure I would ever stop laughing (I prefer to not have to chew my beer). Link to post Share on other sites

Mona Lisa Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 No pregnancy scares! And no panic when I accidentally skip birth control doses. No time wasted reading poorly written romance novels for the smut. No resources spent seeking a sexual partner when I can happily satisfy myself solo. No drama (about sex, anyway). In the process of discovering my asexuality, a healthy knowledge of gender and sexual diversity from AVEN and other research. No money wasted on expensive "sexy" lingerie. No rejection by potential sex partners. Never having to clean someone's genetic material off of me. Being a better advocate for LGBT+ because of personal experience with marginalization. I can use "But this is my version of sex!" as an excuse for eating more cake. Disclaimer: These apply to me and not necessarily to all asexual people, who are diverse in their behavior and interests. This in no way makes me superior to people who engage in partnered sexual activities. Link to post Share on other sites
deleted_account Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I can look as dog-butt-ugly as I want and not have to worry about whether or not it attracts other people.I only need to dress up for family and professional occasions and can save money on clothing for dates.I can look at Craigslist ads for fun and not feel any real temptation to respond to them for the most part.If I get a bad haircut, it only affects me.If I want to spend my money on pointless crap after paying bills, it's cool, because I'm not buying anyone else's dinner.If I feel like staying inside all weekend instead of going out dancing, my friends don't get mad at me.I can run errands without any distractions.I can still act interested in somebody if they're one of those egotistical people who needs someone to talk to at all times, if I'm trapped in a moving vehicle or something with them... good acting skills from assimilation sometimes act as like... social lubricant.I can objectively listen to people's relationship problems without being secretly in love with them or whatever.I can kiss friends on the cheek without the drama llama coming after me later.It doesn't really matter what other people think, regardless of sexual orientation, but I can be happy with myself anyway.

FallOutAtTheMotionCityDisc Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 As someone who can be a psuedo-heterosexual, those pros aren't pro for every asexuals, but for me, I do not need sex. I suppose we're all just coming with pros that are personal, we can't say "we love the color purple because it's part of our flag" and expect everybody to agree :) That's the biggest pro of all!

deleted_account Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 OH I just thought of something. Demi Lovato. Her name reminds me of demisexual or demiromantic so I feel like, even if she herself doesn't identify this way, it's a neat cultural in-joke and it makes me happy (more than cake) (I know, shock and horror, haha).

FallOutAtTheMotionCityDisc Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ooh that's a good one! Based on her music I'm not sure she does, but who knows! :) It reminds me of Demi LOVE(ato), so kind of demiromantic more so than demisexual IMO! :lol: Though I can't believe it makes you happier than cake :P Link to post Share on other sites

bangyougotme Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've read through the #asexualproblems thread quite a bit, and I just started this tag on tumblr, so I thought I'd ask you guys for some!
