Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

The thing is though, we're talking about an absence of a thing which is not wanted or missed. There is literally nothing to talk about (unless, perhaps, in the company of other people who feel the same way and get annoyed hearing about said thing nonstop.)

The only reason Random Person X has to even notice an unlamented lack of sex in somebody else's life is if they're being a dick and sticking their nose in that person's business, or if that person insists on calling attention to it--in which case, why?

Put it this way: Do you know anyone who continually goes on about other activities they don't like or do? If so, well, you may nod your head in sympathy for the first round or two (because we've all had the experience of being bombarded with noise about a thing that just doesn't interest us, I'm sure,) but they'll quickly become either boring or irritating, or both. Sex is no different from anything else in that respect.

I think the difference is, people EXPECT you to like sex, and to some extent, talk about it. or even if they don't want you to talk about sex, they'll try to get you to talk about who you find attractive, or whatever. Or bother you about why you're not in a relationship.

This. There's often an attitude of "there must be something wrong with you if you don't want sex", or a snide "sure you don't want to have sex - just couldn't find someone who would do it with you, right?"

It's not OMG!oppression, but even so, it was nice when people started talking about asexuality and I suddenly realized that yes, there were other people choosing not to have sex. It didn't feel quite so weird anymore.
