>girl tells me she's asexual but still feels sexual attraction/desire
wat
Wat. Shes fucking retarded
>>17202713
Maybe she meant to say celibate
>>17202715
I've been googling around and this is apparently a thing, at least in some circles, but I still can't quite understand how it works.
She's spending too much time on the internet and wants to be a speshul snooflake
There are technically asexuals who experience physical arousal but no emotional attachment. The more common way to say this is "sociopath" but, whatever.
>>17202722
No, she means asexual.
>>17202729
She clearly doesn't know what asexual means so she's using the word incorrectly
>>17202733
Okay but entire swathes of the, ahem, "asexual community" insist this is a thing and while I'm sure it's bullshit I'd at least like to better understand what they're even talking about.
>>17202741
They're talking about bullshit. They want to believe they're asexual without admitting they've been bullshitting themselves the entire time.
Asexuality is unfathomably rare, the communities online that say they are asexual are almost undoubtedly filled with people who aren't. Actual asexuals would never care because they are literally lacking in the desire, there's no reason to "reach out to other like minded people"
>>17202713
Maybe she doesn't find people's personalities attractive but still wants to fuck.
>>17202713
It means she's not into you and she's putting out any excuse to stop you aside from telling you straight up to just fuck off.
>>17202713
>asexual
How many sexual preferences are sexually confused angsty teens going to make before they realise they aren't the special snowflake they think they are?

Stay away from such dumb people, they don't really know what the fuck asexual means.
>>17203187
That's retarded. All this "Identifying as _______" shit makes me pop a blood vessel.
It's insane how fucking stupid people have become.
>>17203148
See there are 4 sexualites, and 2ish genders
Hetro
Homo
Bi
Ace (asexual)
Male
Female
I was born with weird junk and just sort of rolled with it.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS SOCIETY.
EVERYTHING. Trans people and all the special snoflake sexualities are just derision of the basic concepts above. A pansexual is just a slutty bisexual. A otherkin is just a committed furry(fetish, not a sexuality). Wanting a special label is just wanting a community of like minded people to hang out with. Its a gang, just with ways to screw instead of drugs.

this.
>sjws and tumblrinas will get triggered by this and argue
anyway, is it possible to obtain an asexual mindset?
>>17203148
Blame the me generation for passing it on to their kids
>>17203761
Purty much this. I've never understood why trannies are in it since the genuine ones tend to distance themselves from everything to be as stealthy as possible.

Humans are by nature, sexual beings. The brain is designed to feel sexual desires/arousal. When the brain doesn't act like it should we call that a disorder. Sexual Aversion Disorder and Sexual Desire Disorders are real things, but feel based sciences websites claim they are "identities" so they can feel special. "Ace" is the only "identity" that can be changed or altered with medication. There are many cases of people losing libido/desire after taking birth control, the same way that aphrodisiacs do the opposite. Heteros can not cure their sexuality. Gays can not cure their sexuality. Bisexuals can not cure their sexuality. Suddenly people who aren't attracted to people can change their identity? That's not how sexuality works
Your girlfriend grew up thinking porn and lame sitcom/romcom tropes (durr men are perpetually horny fuck beasts hurr durr) actually reflect reality, and since she doesn't want to bang literally 24/7 at the drop of the hat she's concluded that she can't REALLY be straight. It's sickening, not on her part but for the fact sexuality has been THAT warped by pop culture.
>>17202724
>this is apparently a thing
What, labeling yourself something when you're very clearly not? Of course that's a thing.

I see your point but I disagree. Asexuality is caused by a lack of libido, which is bio-chemical response normally found in people. In homosexuality the response triggers to the wrong normal stimuli, in bisexuality it triggers to both normal stimuli. Why couldn't there be one where it does not trigger at all? It is abnormal, but no worse so than depression, something many people just live with.

any time you hear the word "asexual" just replace it with attention whore
