Re: Well, OP
sexual people can be sexual people without being "obsessed" with sexual imagery/media, and I'm pretty sure not being "obsessed" isn't what makes you asexual
that's...not even close to what that means
your last sentence is especially skeevy
Re: Well, OP
(Anonymous) 2014-02-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)Where did I refute this? That pretty much defines a 100% human being. Maybe I'm putting my point across wrong? I don't think it's people responding to the stuff they see around them, it's the stuff that is put out there, everywhere you turn around, that's obsessive/unhealthy. To what degree some random general person is influenced by these things, is individual.
The other issue being that since most of the people "self-identifying" this way are actually children, it's definitely NOT abnormal, and in fact should be considered normal. I think we can agree that stuff like "Toddlers and Tiaras" (as one extreme example) definitely disagrees, and represents the kind of unhealthy influences I'm talking about.
Let me try another TL;DR: If these people are not yet fully independent adults, it's actually a GOOD thing that they don't want to have sex or be involved in a sexual relationship, and it is NOT as weird/strange/odd/abnormal as the Internet tends to view it as.

There's no proof that OP is a child, so you writing this as though you think they are is weird.
Asexuality isn't a "phase" or a state of being for a child or a person who is at a certain time in their life not interested in sex. I'm not asexual, so anyone who is feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that it is simply a lack of sexual attraction.
It has zero to do with sexual inundation from the media. I'm not a big fan of that, and I also don't find very much of what pop culture has to offer sexually appealing. I'm also chaste, so right now I'm not looking for a sexual relationship with anyone. But I am still a sexual person. I experience sexual attraction.
Your conflation of asexuality with "being immune to sexual stimuli from the media/being a child/being less overtly sexual than average" and of sexuality with "being obsessed with the oversexualization of everything" is so, so wrong and off the mark.

Oh yeah? Tell that to Cumberbatch!
Re: Well, OP
(Anonymous) 2014-02-16 02:28 am (UTC)(link)I can agree that the overtly sexual nature of our culture can cause a lot of confusion, especially for young people who may just be "late bloomers" but that still does not give you or anyone else to right to tell them how to identify, a lot of people figure out their sexual identity early on, even with all the confusion.
I really just don't know why you think everything you're bringing up is related to the OP, it very well could be, but maybe they are a grown person who just finally had something click with them. It's not unheard of.
