        Yuh-huh. Reproduction is the single objective of every living being, so genuine asexuality is a bigger defect than blindness or a malformed limb. With an "asexual" character all romance storylines are eliminated- the only one you can do is "X wants to date Y, but Y isn't interested" which you can do with regular non-defectives as well. The best use of asexuality is in making a character seem inhuman and unrelateable. I await your further "nuh-uh!"

            Asexual doesn't necessarily mean a disinterest in romantic relationships, just not an interest in a sexual one. Most long term marriages are usually asexual.

            It sounds like an excuse to watch your partner's self-esteem slowly decay over time, as they start to harm themselves and take on toxic people as lovers. Like you get a sexual thrill not from the act of sex, but rather from the act of driving a partner to drugs, eating disorders, and STDs through a lack of sex. Married couples also have an established relationship with diminished romantic feelings toward eachother (yes, romance is more than sweet gibberish nothings whispered in the ear, get over it)

          You're a tiny bit wrong, reproduction is the single objective of every living *species
          That's an important distinction, because a lot of species die out because they reproduce too much and those use up the natural resources too fast before they can grow back, essentially dooming themselves. And yes, that "also" applies to humans.
          Plus there is stuff like worker-ants, whose goal is not to frick but to work, so that the people who do frick can do it in peace.

          Thus some humans being gay or asexual(if it really exists) is a good thing in the long run for the human species, because 8 billion humans are simply way too fricking many. Clearly we can't control our population with our intelligence(as can be seen in china), thus having a natural way to make it happen by more people becoming gay or asexual would be the only way to stop our eventual doom from overpopulation.

    I know this might sound off to some anons here, but as an asexual person who had MANY opportunities for sex and jerk offs, there's an alarm in my head that would go off and constantly tell me "DO NOT COMMIT" every time. I feel like the subconscious can tell when you're fit or not to actually commit towards any relationship, and having casual sex fricks up your ability to form a healthy bond.

      You have a weak willed mind that's predisposed to addiction, you blame other people to deny it

      Do what makes you happy, not what your impulses tell you to do.

    Non asexual people don't "worry" about sex or think about it most of the time anon, unless there's something wrong with them at least.
    It's just a thing to do among the many other unimportant ones when you are free.
    So there is no real reason to have or not have asexual or any-sexual characters as heroes.
    Are you sure the thing you want is not just representation?

      I want to do the Buckely's cough syrup of representations where I describe other reps as "cloyingly sweet idealizations"

          Asexuals lack the capacity to feel true emotions, they have no dopamine receptors and thus can only create simulations of feelings like live, hate, or sadness. They are too mentally weak to form an emotion of anger

    You make it sound like being mentally ill is a virtue.

        If you’re gonna lie, you should at least put some effort in your denial.

    Because writing a character as anything besides desperately heterosexual means they are gay, even if their default is "is not horny".

    Either you are actively trying to do the sex, or you're in the closet. So has fandom decided.

    As someone that frequents reddit and Twitter and hobby boards on this site.

    The discussion about sexuality and all other dumb bullshit is always higher on this site. Seriously lol even the trannies on twitter don't talk about trannies as much hobby boards do.

    I can go on twitter and reddit and see actual discussion on shit going on but anytime I come on here there's always a guaranteed thread about trannies and gays and shit. You guys are obsessed

      Why come to Cinemaphile if those other sites are better in your opinion anyways? It seems like a waste of time to post with us anons than it is to go hang out with those normies on reddit and Twitter.

    Incel are people with no success with women, but they are super perverted. I don't think the asexuals are there since they don't even care, in fact they seem friendly!

    Because thesr losers and queers and many systems of wealth gathering depend on base sexual lust.

    Without it most things people see as needed or even acceptable are judged as bad and meaningless

    It's why they try so hard to get the next Gen with hypersexuality early on.
    Easy emotional triggers to pull.

    Think it's a coincidence porn shills started naming their porn sites after innocuous things like the Whitehouse.

    To cause psychosexual trauma and addiction early.
