i don't think its 'just like that' i don't think asexuals are given electric shocks and aversion therapy

I feel for you comrade. Not literally, I'm led about by my hormonal urge to make very good friends with nearly every female I meet (not that I do, I'm a faithful fellow), but I realize now what you're toalking about. I have a lady friend who could very well be asexual, as while she's always been romantically inclined, is utterly uninterested in (possibly even frightened of) sex. This would explain her reactions over the years to every man (or woman) she's been romantically attached to. Now I feel really bad for trying to help her out with finding a more permanant partner in terms of the usual sexualities.
Its not visible because its rare and its not a problem .... just like people who like getting their balls whipped isn't visible.
The cultural bias, if there is any, is just really due to its rareness.
Honestly why do you want people to care?
For the continuation of our species all asexuals must be purged immediately for the following reasons:
1. Sex is necessary for reproduction.
2. Sex feels fucking great
3.This has to be some sort of genetic deficiency
4. If you are female, you obviously haven't met me yet

For a minute there I thought you were a troll until I saw the "jk" bit.
Even if it was pathological (I do not believe it is though) if people are happy the way they are than there is no need to change them.
You are going to have to clarify that but I am rather sure that if I were an Asexual I would be offended.Originally Posted by NewLeft

New Left touched on what I meant by this a bit. The dominant culture in society is intensely anti-sex but very pro-pornography. The difference may seem subtle but it's very important.
"It is slaves, struggling to throw off their chains, who unleash the movement whereby history abolishes masters." - Raoul Vaneigem
"Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things." - Karl Marx
"What distinguishes reform from revolution is not that revolution is violent, but that it links insurrection and communisation." - Gilles Dauvé
This really isn't appropriate. I understand you're joking, but its just not an appropriate place to make these kind of jokes.For the continuation of our species all asexuals must be purged immediately for the following reasons:

Put capitalism in a bag of rice.
One of our much-loved Comrades (Ducky) is asexual. She gets shit all the time from guys who hit on her and then want to change her. I would consider this a form of discrimination, which is why I think it's important to get knowledge about asexuality and asexual people out there.
I see good points in nearly all sections of the socialist left.

Why would you be offended?
If I were an Asexual I would be offended because I would be having my bodily naturalness be thrown in my face by someone who isn't part of my community and contradicts everything I am.

I am not trying to offend, it was not my intention. It was a question and it was to the best of my understanding.. But I get why you would feel that way. I apologize if it did offend anyone.
I have had a few similar experiences myself. I have been touched in inappropriate places because apparently guys can't take a hint I'm not interested.
This right here. ASEXUAL SWAG. I wouldn't say *all the time* but a lot of guys who hit on me will say something about changing me if I say I'm asexual.
See, I wouldn't care about raising awareness all that much UNTIL stuff like this happens. Actually, yesterday, someone said this to me in a public forum:
She didn't give any supporting evidence or anything. She just said that and a lot of people took her side and told me I was lying to them/myself and that I'm just repressed/in denial. And it was even more confusing coming from someone who you'd think would understand being non-heteronormative... But no...Originally Posted by bisexual girl
It's a really misunderstood phenomenon. I think we're in there with the LGBT community, along with demisexuals/gray-A's. Most people I've found are tolerant...
Actually, I was asked by my transgender friend today to help him with his non-heteronormative Youtube collaborative channel thing.
I dunno. A vibe I'm kinda getting here off some people from Revleft is that "You guys don't want anything, so why do you want to raise awareness?"
It's because of shit like this. Because people seem concerned with "orientations" and as far as we're concerned this isn't even a thing in the eyes of most people... and it's the lack of orientation. Keeping it to ourselves is the equivalent, to us, as being a closeted gay person. A lot of times people will assume "Oh, that person is just homosexual but isn't expressing it." Especially if person in question doesn't conform to gender roles (I'm sure there's a fair share of people who think I'm a lesbian out there...)
Some do. Some don't. As for me, I've little to no sex drive as far as I can tell.Originally Posted by NewLeft
Tried masturbation once out of curiosity, was quite the pointless waste of my time.

yeah but that's not a unique experience. guys molest non-asexual women all the time.

NO IT IS NOT DISCRIMINATION, its horniness, I don't claim discrimination if a gay guy hits on me, its not, calling getting hit on even though I don't want to get laid "discrimination" is degrading people who are actually discriminated against.
That happens to WOMEN all the time, and its terrible and guys that do that should be prosecuted, but its not some sort of a-sexual discrimination.
I agree with this, unless they're pressing the matter (which is getting into douchebag-town). I'm bloody flattered on those rare occasions when I'm hit on by gay men. All it usually takes is a "sorry bro, wrong team" and all's well in awesometown. People should be sensitive to situations once they know what's up, but until then, making a pass at a random is pretty harmless (and how to let people know you're interested... it's not like we can roll up and sniff butts like dogs).
I'm fairly certain you 2 ate missing the point it's not the being hit on it's the change you aspect of it
I can't exactly understand this, as it's probably from a phone, but I'll try to field this one.
Are you proposing somehow that all of humanity should stop making passes on people, because they might somehow come upon an asexual and make them feel uncomfortable? Frankly that's a bit absurd if so. What people SHOULD do is understand that asexuals exist, and not press them on the subject if they're informed as such. Changing human courting behavior (displays of interest, which is nearly universal regardless of orientation) for such a minute minority of the population seems impossible. Reasonable accomidation(sp?) for those comerades who are asexual should be just fine.
That is what I'm saying not the other stuff. if someone says they're not interested or in this case asexual tehy are informed the person they are hitting on are asexual then they person hitting on them should sod off not say "oh i can change you baby" or in the case of some lesbians "you just haven't had a man please you before" and other such douchbagery which take on the offensive and discriminatory nature when they say bullshit about your specific sexuality. Not at the beginning but after they have been informed and the person refuses to take no as an answer and instead begin to basically say fuck your sexuality it doesn't exists et. al.
Of course I can't speak for any other comrades at all. So I could be wrong and if I offended comrades I am very sorry.
