Not the OP but I can understand where they're coming from. Every single fantasy doesn't involve myself, and the thought of enacting any of those fantasies IRL is a complete turn-off. I write porn fic and fantasize about characters having sex with each other, but I have zero interest in getting personally involved in any IRL sex. Or even personally involved in any fantasy sex. Sex is fine as long as I'm not in it.

Well, OK, fair point. Maybe the question is: what's the difference between sexual thoughts and sexual fantasies? Like, how does it make the OP (or anyone similar) feel when they think about them? Is it just like thinking about any other kind of fiction scene, or is it more evocative and...you know, hot? I guess that makes a difference.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-13 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the difference is in sexual fantasies I don't want them to be true. They are fantasies. I imagine sexual thoughts would be more realistic and something that you would theoretically want to happen.

For me, being asexual means that I don't care about having sex. I don't want that. Sure, sexual fantasies and reading/watching porn is fun, but it's just fun fantasies about other people. I don't want any of that to happen to me. It's not even something that I would consider.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-13 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it matter? In the end it still boils down to having zero desire to have sex IRL.

[identity profile] la-petite-singe.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...it matters in the sense that there's a difference between "I don't want to have sex now/soon" and "I will never want to have sex," I guess.

Do you also question people who call themselves gay/lesbian inquiring as to whether they're just into men/women 'now,' or 'always?'

You realize you are basically asking 'are you sure it's not just a phase?'

[identity profile] thekeres.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

The good old haven't met the right partner bull shit. It's as if one needs a requisite number of relationships to know one's self. No one asks heterosexual people if they're sure. >:l

(Anonymous) 2011-04-13 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh come on. People can't say "we have to accept sexuality as fluid" out of one side of their mouth and then haughtily dismiss the notion of "meeting the 'right' guy/girl' out of the other.

Granted, there's no excuse for OTHER people to just bring that up and question an individual's sexuality out of the blue, but if you initiate or partake in conversation about sexuality and it moves in that direction, trying to villify the other side for questioning something is ridiculous.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Personally I think it's more that sexuality CAN be fluid, not that it always is for everyone. I always took it to mean that we shouldn't push people into boxes they're not comfortable with and stop enforcing the "either straight or gay, no gray area between" mentality. If someone identifies as asexual, has always been asexual, and doesn't think they might become sexual in the future, yeah, telling them the right person might come along and they might want to have sex is kind of a dick move. But if they don't feel a particular attachment to the label and think they maybe interested in sex at some point, that's where the whole "sexuality can be fluid" thing comes in.

tl;dr: Sexuality CAN be fluid, but this isn't always the case. One can believe this and still (rightly) say that the whole "the right person will come along and you will change your mind" thing is stupid.

[identity profile] thekeres.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Where does "sexuality as fluid" come up in this thread? I didn't say it.

I'm confused as to what you're getting at... Are you saying that in a conversation about sexuality it's okay to ask someone to 'prove' they are right about their own sexuality? Or, should I say, are you saying that it's okay to doubt another person's sexuality if you two happen to have a conversation about it?

(Anonymous) 2011-04-13 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't make any difference. Even if it gets you hot, makes you masturbate, etc, IT'S STILL NOT SEX WITH OTHER PEOPLE. An asexual person does not want to have sex with other, real people. It's really that simple.

EXACTLY. Thank you so much.

I read slash a rather embarrassing amount, and I never talk about it with my friends though because they know I'm asexual but would use this as an argument against me. But the thing is the thought of actually doing any sexual stuff with another human being.. is just inexplicably a complete turn-off. I've tried thinking about doing things even with people I've had a crush on, but nope. o_o still no physical reaction for me. not appealing in the least.
