Re: Well, OP

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I meant the bit before that, about liking the character because he's not sex-obsessed. My rant was more that it's unfortunate that attitudes ascribed to asexuality, or referred to as asexuality, actually used to be status quo for normal human beings, not so very long ago. I think it's only in the last three generations or so (since the hippies) that society and culture has become sex-obsessed.

So what I'm trying to say is, what people call asexuality, the more I see "self-identifying" people describing their experiences with/of it, is actually how people used to be, and this was not considered peculiar or odd or out of the ordinary in any way. I think it's unfortunate that society seems to have lost sight of that, to the fact where it's no longer a default/normal attitude. Albeit one that is much more emphasized on the Internet, helped in no small part by the way media/TV/fiction eggs on the over-sexualization of default society.

DA. Hmm, this is actually an interesting comment. I don't think of myself as asexual per se, but it's the closest label that fits. Probably low libido would be more accurate. And yet, there is this pervasive societal attitude (outside of fandom, anyway) that if you're NOT having sex, then you're not fully experiencing life and there's something wrong with you. So it was kind of a relief to find out that asexuality was enough of a thing that there was a label for it.

I believe you're correct, though, that the trend of overt sexualization is relatively recent. And it's an interesting inverse of the past. Nowadays, there is an expectation that everyone is having sex, and there's something mentally/physically wrong with you if you're not. In the past, the expectation was that you were chaste (unless properly married), and there was something morally wrong with you if you were not.

do you mind transcribing the part of the secret where OP said ANYTHING about society or sex-obsession. because I'm having trouble finding it.

regardless of how right or wrong you are on this subject, all I see is you taking a confession about someone finding sanity and peace and totally disregarding their feelings because you were so eager to go off on a rant??
