Eddy Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yes, um. That show. They talked about asexuality. Basically all they said was people are asexual because they have some kind of psychological problems. As in, some are afraid of sex or people. I didn't catch the whole show though.

cijay Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Was that "Sexual Secrets?" Everyone has their own theory as to "why". Once they stop and realise there are many different members of the community, they're relalise it's kinda'...pointless to even look for "why". Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Maybe it was Sexual Secrets. It was a documentrary type show with a whole load of "experts" giving their 2 cents. Like all the asexuals they had on the show had some sort of problems and were in therapy. :x What exactly are they implying?... It was just annoying because they kept saying things like "all humans are sexual beings", "people have sexual feelings and what happens when they deny themselves what they want most [because of fear or closeness, commitment, etc...]."

cijay Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Don't forget, they can't understand us and our point of view any more than we them and theirs. We're getting better known and there are other experts with other opinions. Link to post Share on other sites
Rabger Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Basically all they said was people are asexual because they have some kind of psychological problems. As in, some are afraid of sex or people. Ugh, that really pisses me off! I used to get stuff like that too, like I must have been abused or that I'm afraid of intimacy. It stopped after I went completely nuts on the idiot that said it, but it helped when I got in a relationship after and yet I was STILL asexual. I'm not afraid of intimacy (I rather enjoyed it), I'm not afraid of people or sex, theres nothing wrong with my hormones, and I was never abused. Maybe the sex addicts are the ones that need help. It is common knowledge that there is a 50% chance those that were abused will be sex nuts. I guess something like the reenforcement that sex = love (utter crap). Link to post Share on other sites
