Because you are still into sexual things. It doesnt make sense. Neither can someone be heterosexual or bisexual or homosexual and asexual either, like a lot of people online nowadays say they are. "Asexual lesbian/gay" "Asexual heteromantic". It's contradictory for someone to be lacking in desires but then in the same sentence say they have a desire for a certain sex. It's just low libido. It also doesn't make sense for someone who claims to be asexual to actively seek out sexual fiction when they claim to lack those desires. It's hypocritical.

Why do you care so much how people label their sexuality?

[(Anonymous)]

Because words have meaning and with blurred meanings how can anyone take those words seriously anymore?

[(Anonymous)]

Words will always mean different things to different people. Sorry 'bout it.

[(Anonymous)]

It seems more a case of labeling incorrectly because those different people couldn't find the right word for how they really felt. Asexual doesnt mean "still kind of interested in sexual things" it means a complete disinterest. That's how it always has been and always will be. This person isnt asexual.

You really like it black and white, eh?

[(Anonymous)]

That's how it always has been and always will be

Lol. Okay then.

Count me as another ace person who thinks you're full of shit.

You do know that language isn't static, right? That it naturally evolves and changes over time?

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, a Gold Star Ace.

Languages evolve. If I recall, first uses of asexual as a word were to describe 'sexually cold' women ... which meant 'just probably not that into my husband' in 19th century. It was opposed to 'hysterical' which could have meant anything in the end, to be fair.

And the homoromantic, heteroromantic and others existed as descriptor for ages. I recall seeing even heterosexual homoromantics (likes opposite gender but forms relationships with same one). However, it has tended to mean which relationships one prefers more than romantic attraction but could have varied in different areas or whatnot.

New terms would be ones like demisexual and demiromantic so ... ones you mention are long past shiny and new stage. Also, adding lesbian or gay to asexual makes sense as they tend to cover any sort of homo- relationship, attraction and lifestyle part.

Point was - language always gets blurred at some point, moves to other terms or invents new ones.

I mean, I'm pretty sure asexual actually used to be a biological term originally where it meant organisms that are able to reproduce asexually. So the real question is: is the person ITT who's insisting on using the word in the correct way an amoeba, bacteria or fungus?

[digitalghosts]

Actually need to look that up as you probably are right on first use in biology of the world but I think there was some other thing it described first as I recall it not making sense. Anyway, meant human sexuality related uses :P, otherwise we'd have a lot of public reproduction. I imagined people casually cutting themselves in half and building new human out of spilled organs. Yeah, I know it is all cellural levels but the picture amused me.

Just because someone likes to read about sex doesn't mean they want to have sex themselves

Great job trying to gatekeep another person's sexuality

-Another 'real' asexual

Yeah. If your reading preferences speak of your sexuality, then all those lesbians reading M/M ad het are clearly dying for a cock.
