ZGDK Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I was surfing around Wikipedia yesterday and the guy who helped invent Corn Flakes was a devoted asexual. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellog That's the article. Link to post Share on other sites
xBlackxRainx Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Kellog, as far as I know was a strong anti-sexualist, asexual I'm not sure, you don't have to be asexual to be anti-sexual. Wanting to create anti-aphrodisiac foods to me, isn't proof enough that he was asexual. It's hard to judge past historical figures, whether he was just celibate or asexual (which is a possibility), is up to him. Link to post Share on other sites
sonofzeal Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Given the lack of knowledge of asexuality in the past, and even in the present, it's very difficult to say either way. That said, I don't think there's anything wrong with extrapolating based on available evidence. I think we can all agree that Kellog is far more likely to have been asexual than, say, Winston Churchill (as a completely random example). We don't know for certain, but that's a necessary fact of life. Link to post Share on other sites
PetraNotMyRealName Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The movie "Road to Wellville" is about him and all the crazy things he did to promote asexuality as a health regimen. It's quite a funny little movie and ironically it's full of nudity and sex and other funny little bits (on bicycles) lol :D :shock: :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
M51 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am not convinced he was asexual, but he could have been.... Either way, I am not sure I want to use a vehement anti-sexual as an example of asexuality. He really doesn't represent me or my views or my feelings towards sex at all.
