SorryNotSorry Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 So, apparently asexuality is now in the American Right’s crosshairs: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/10/religious-right-now-targeting-sexless-marriages-selfishness-want-ban/ I swear, these people don’t know the meaning of live and let live. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milque Toast Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Forgive me for not finishing the article, but it's just so insane. How much privacy to do they have to invade, and how many rights to do they have to take away until they are happy?? How are they going to check which marriages are sexual and which are not? Even if asexual couples lie and say they do have sex, it still sucks that they aren't allowed to be open about their sex life. And this notion that it "takes away from" or "reduces the meaning of" sexual marriages. It's SO irritating! It's always like this. That trans women existing takes away from the rights of cis women, and now how asexual marriages take away from the rights of sexual marriages. Who said you can't be happy in your sexual marriage? Leave us alone oh my god 😭 I don't understand how it can bother someone so much when someone else does something in a way they don't like. Sexual marriages still exist, and you are still free to be in one. why are you disallowing people to be in asexual marriages? it's disgusting and very clearly comes from a place of hate and desire to discriminate. jeezums this stuff gets me mad 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just my opinion, but I think the only solution to a problem like this is to tag such individuals and deny them ANY kind of authority for the rest of their lives. I'm talking not even let them tell their own kids what to do. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AABattery Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Okay but if I'm allo and in a dry spell, should I get a divorce? 'Sexless marriage' is a pretty broad term. Can I eat breakfast or do I have to make babies and toast at the same time? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Acing It Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Oh this has been going on for ages in the catholic 'homeland' I grew up in. I remember having a discussion about this kind of thing, back then it was about not having children, ages ago when I was in secondary school. In the related discussion about not having children, you could just as well turn the whole argument around and saying that having children is self-centred. Can the same be said about a sexless marriage, asexual based or not? I don't know. If both don't want sex it won't, but if one does and the other doesn't, that's something to work out between two people if possible, as has been said so many times here. I've given up on organised religion ages ago as I think it's often but not always the foundation for a lot of misery, bigotry, unfounded dogmatism, pain and unfairness. This is just one example. Sex before marriage is frowned upon but then if you say you're not interested in sex, then that's not good either. Silly people. Hopefully they don't gain too much power, though I wouldn't be holding my breath on that, it being in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
