Antisexuality
I was going to make a thread questioning the necessity of sex (and I could still post my thoughts about that here if desired), but for safety I feel that I should enquire about this first. Has anybody here encountered antisexuals or antisexuality in the past ? What do you know about them ? Do any of you agree with them on any points ?
I personally would not consider myself antisexual any more, though my antisexuality was never based on reason. Yet I do feel that sex is something that our society holds too high in importance.
I'm an asexual so I'm personally antisexual too. Even just the idea of it is repulsive to me and I think that's fine as long as I'm not forcing those views on others. The only other antisexuals I have encountered have been other asexuals.

I remember talking to one anti-sexual person on here before. I thought their views were complete trash.

While I can accept the perspectives of anti-sexuals or a-sexuals, I must say that you're missing out.
I can't speak to anti-sexuals, but asexuality is a sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. Asexuals experience no sexual attraction, so they aren't "missing out" on anything. Due to their orientation, they simply have no desire for sex.
I have no doubt that me opinion is an ignorant one, I don't have much experience with a-sexuals, but does ones lack of a desire or interest in the opposite sex, make one incapable of feeling the very real sensations which come with the act?
anti sexuality/asexuality seems to me to be biologically impossible. But if such a thing were possible, I would really like to be one.
Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew, or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long possessed that he is set free - he has set himself free - for higher dreams, for greater privileges.”
-James Baldwin

I don't see how it would be possible for anyone other than asexuals to be anti-sexual unless they didn't have a libido. That doesn't mean that all asexuals are so close-minded so as not to be willing to understand other modes of sexuality, though.
I think something like this is just as ridiculous as all other positions that attempt to govern or regulate what a) people choose to do with their own body and b) activities taken part in by consenting individuals. It's condescending in that it supposes that human beings don't have the maturity or capability to make decisions of this type responsibly.
I think it is especially insulting to women and all other people that have had to struggle and fight for the right to choose what to do with their own body and make decisions regarding who they can and can't associate themselves with, among other things.
Just more conservative bombast from people who want to regulate morality.
How so? Being asexual is no different from being any other orientation really. This is one of the reasons why I do think us asexuals need to formally get involved in activism. Most people don't even know we exist.

Why do you presume to speak for all asexuals? Do you have evidence that all other asexuals either buy into the outrageousness of anti-sexuality or have the tendency to?
Does anyone argue such a premise? Because if they do (a) they are quite obviously bigoted, or (b) not very intelligent (kinda ties into "a").
Where did I say all asexuals were anti-sexual? I was speaking on behalf of myself.

Why do you presume she claims to speaks for "all a-sexuals" did she put forth such an argument, or are you merely misrepresenting what she said? Her comment is no different then mine stating (earlier in this thread) that a-sexuals (despite me understanding their disinterest in said activity) are missing out on the enjoyment of sex. How do we know that other non a-sexual people, don't have a negative view of sexual intercourse? I mean, in all honesty, your line of reasoning here seems (not only never ending; if we are to take it to its logical conclusion) but also faulty. As far as I'm concerned I'll take the opinion of an actual a-sexual on the matter, until other viewpoints from said group are expressed.
Well perhaps your choice of words was just poor. You posited being asexual and anti-sexual as a cause and effect relationship with your use of "so," sorry if I misrepresented your opinion.
Relax hotshot, I think InsertNameHere can speak for herself.
At Ostrinski :
You appear to be intelligent, but you seem to have an implication that antisexuals are imposing their views on others, as if antisexuality is a politic movement, which I am perplexed by. Surely not all antisexuals desire to spread this.
At InsertNameHere :
Although I do not deny the existence of asexuality in humans, I do not think that it should be classified as an orientation, because it is an absence of such.
Not trying to be rude but this is kinda uncool, I mean you wouldn't tell a gay guy that he's "missing out" by not havig sex with women. You would just accept that he has a different orientation, and I think asexual people deserve the same respect. (I am assuming that you are a straight male; if my assumption is wrong then I apologize).
Anyhow, to op: what is antisexuality exactly, is it a sort of intellectual movement against sex?

Again this isn't what my opinion was supposed to mean, however I must restate that, like I said originally, my thoughts "only come from ignorance" so sorry if I offended anyone, but I was merely attempting to express my opinion.

I am not anti-sexuality. However, I do agree with the TS that our society holds sex too high in importance. Yes, sexuality is not unimportant, but it is overly used by the mass media to distract the working-class.
