Re: Unpopular opinion thread

You are aware that an asexual person can be interested in a relationship on an emotional level, but not on a sexual level?

I'll rephrase your sentence for you:

Asexuality is a cultural/social identity and it's useful. Who you want to date, fall in love with, marry, live with, but at the same time, don't want to have sex with is a huge part of who you are and wanting a term that encompasses all that makes total sense.


People can get irrationally angry if you give all the "sure, relationship would be great" signals but then, you don't want to have sex with them. So better to get that out of the way first, sort of a disclaimer. How is that any different than any other person's oh-so-useful cultural/social identity?

No, I totally do, I guess I would just consider them a gay/straight/bi (whichever fit) person who wasn't interested in sex. To me unless someone is completely uninterested in relationships altogether (and I know there are people like that also) I don't see why it's considered an entirely separate thing. Let's say there's a heteroromantic asexual and a homoromantic asexual. Yes, they have the sex issue in common but outside of the that someone who's interested in relationships with the same sex is going to have more in common with the gay community and someone who's interested in the opposite sex romantically is going to identify more with straight people in general.

And like I said above I definitely think it's useful when used in contexts of people you're potentially interested in dating but I see it as more of a subcategory of gay, straight, bi, etc. rather than a completely entirely separate thing. For example I work with a man who is completely uninterested in sex. It's just not something he's into, and he's told me that when the other guys are talking about sexy people of their preferred gender he can never join in the conversation because he has no idea what makes someone sexy or not. I think this guy would be considered asexual by any definition I've come across. However, he has a wife that he's very clearly in love with. He considers himself straight and I don't know that it'd ever occur to him to call himself anything else.

I definitely get what you're saying that it's a useful disclaimer for someone you're potentially interested in because that's something they need to know but it also doesn't seem descriptive enough because yeah, sex isn't your thing but if you're still interested in a relationship it doesn't say anything about what gender(s) you're into. I guess that's where the various romantic labels come in though.
