Re: Well, OP

[(Anonymous)]

sexual people can be sexual people without being "obsessed" with sexual imagery/media

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.

I think you made an excellent point.

Where do I even begin replying to this?

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.

Asexuality isn't a "phase"

Oh yeah? Tell that to Cumberbatch!

Re: Well, OP

Okay, at best you're getting off topic, but the problem people are having with what you are saying seems to imply you know more about the OP then they themselves know and you're assuming a lot here.

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.

Asexual people are children, eh? I'm 20, I'm definitely not a child, and I am asexual - that is, I do not experience sexual attraction towards anyone or anything. Which is what asexual MEANS.
You need to shut up and actually educate yourself before you keep embarrassing yourself by spouting ignorance, fool.

I'm 27 and ace. It's not that something hasn't developed yet, or that something's stunted or broken or undeveloped. I'm just not into sexytimes, at all, never have been and never will be.
