What does it mean to live without sexual desire? Can you have children? Can you find a partner? Is it still possible to be in love? We meet three asexual people who tell us about their lives.
Three asexual people talk about their lives and their very different ways of navigating their sexual orientation. Lennart is 38 and lives in Hamburg. After a few relationships he concluded that he’s asexual and aromantic. He has no interest in having sex or a partner. 60-year-old Martin from Speyer realized in his youth that he was asexual, even if he didn’t have a term for it at the time. Nonetheless, he is married and has two children. But for him, sex is only a means to an end. 22-year-old Akaya from Bielefeld has no sexual desire of any kind. She also finds masturbation unappealing. She lives with her girlfriend in a homoromantic relationship without sex. A Report by Tessa Clara Walther

In this oversxualized world people are made to believe, that you can't be happy without sex. A lot of sex. And if you don't want that, you are mentally sick. I'm asexual and I've never found people who treated me normal after I told them. Honestly, I think it is easier nowadays to find acceptance as a homosexual than as an asexual.

to anyone saying this is trauma: you do realise that, if a person is living a fully functional life, and are happy about themselves, then they don't need to go digging through their past to find the root cause of a 'problem' they don't perceive as a 'problem', right? Just live and let live!

Or are you just trying to scapegoat marginalized people doing no harm for the things you perceive as problems?

@winterroadspokenword4681 Год назад

Maybe it’s not, who really knows?! However, a gay person can literally think they are straight, a straight person can literally think they are gay, and some people can fancy most people, some, few, many, the realise almost no people are for you. Evidence shows that people usually go one way or the other after childhood therapy. I do wonder how many asexual become sexual after major childhood therapy. I’ve personally witnessed my sexuality shift in a way I could not believe. I was polyamorous bisexual, and very sexual. Now, I don’t really feel the urge with almost anyone, but I do know my pull is still towards women right now. My attraction to men was purely based In the end after much inner work, sexual contact becomes very very specialised and very very intimate. I would wager that if most people tried childhood therapy, things would shift. I’m not suggesting they do it change their sexuality, but if they have childhood feelings arising, pains, etc. I personally am now starting to believe there are very certain people for us in the end and (apparently) the more inner work you do, the more you get feelings only for one person, who you’ll eventually meet. I wonder if that’s what these guys have going on, but in a way, almost prematurely! People can get triggered by my comment if they like...but at the end of the day I’m only sharing my thoughts. Not judging. If they are happy as they are they won’t be triggered anyway, as they will be sure in themselves.

A reproductive system that doesn't incentivize reproduction, is surely a bug. We absolutely should love and accept the asexual, but we shouldn't pretend that this isn't a pathology of the sex organs.

@jdax21 Год назад

I can relate to all of this. After the first time I had sex, I remember thinking, "That's it? That's what everyone says is so great?" A previous partner used to tell me I was broken. I eventually left that relationship. As one of the people in this interview said, sex felt like a chore, just a bodily function, I didn't look forward to it, and I often felt depressed afterwards. My feelings about sex have never changed and I am much happier without the stress of that expectation from others. I'm glad these people have found partners who understand them and they should be proud of themselves for adhering to their beliefs.

@LordDirus007 Год назад

@jstone247 2 года назад

I spent 26 years with a male partner,and had five adored children. After separation, I chose celibacy. I wanted to feel self contained. The need to consider a male partners constant urges, and living for many years being coersed and raped more than once, was too much for me. I'm old now. I find men attractive, but the amount of physical and emotional energy needed by being in a relationship was too much. The thought of a man forcing himself on me, terrifies me. I'm done being expected to please men. You lose your self-esteem and worth, along the way. That said, I enjoy taking care of my appearance,enjoy theatre, the arts, travel, lunches and wine and the joy of friendships and spending time with my adult children and grandchildren. Peace. Universal love of humanity and the precious planet Earth are more important.

Leonard stated a quote that I found extraordinarily helpful in trying to explain non-asexual people’s perspectives: “there is a tendency to deny people their humanity because sex seems to be this thing that makes us human.” When he said that, it helped me realize why some non-asexual people get so offensively baffled by asexuality.

@facthunt2facthunt245 6 месяцев назад

@facellina But it's not nature. Attraction is something I don't experience therefore it doesn't come naturally to me. Why do you feel your human experience is the only one that matters and is universal? It is not universally shared it is simply the most common experience. You're common. That's it. But speaking of nature, asexuality has been observed in rams. Between 12-20% of rams are asexual. Pandas are usually ace as well.

I work on college classes, keep up with my art, video editing, and everyday work. I started identifying as asexual when I realized this about a year ago. Whenever someone made a sex joke to me, I feel extremely uncomfortable. If this is a disorder due to my anxiety or my depression, I don't care. I don't want to change. I am content with my Sexuality.

You are still romantically attracted to people, and there are a bunch of different types of separate attractions you can have besides sexual too. It sounds like you’re talking about ‘aesthetic attraction,’ which is when you can look at people and find them cute/beautiful/handsome/visibly appealing in some way, even if it wouldn’t necessarily make you want to be sexually intimate with them. That can still be romantic, like it sounds like you’re saying (and of course that could also be experienced platonically by an asexual person as well.) I’m that way myself. I’m still questioning a bit, but I think that I’m (heteromantic) asexual - I’ve never felt sexual attraction to a person - and I can still find guys handsome or cute, in a non-sexual way, and it can be a factor in me wanting to be in a romantic relationship with them.

I might be asexual, and the way I see and experience it, is I've never had any sexual desires or thoughts about other people. I might find people physically attractive just as I find some paintings beautiful, but I don't want to sleep with the painting, I just appreciate its beauty. I might be attracted to someone's personality and want to be close to them emotionally, but even when I am, it doesn't translate to doing SEXUAL stuff with them. Those desires are foreign to me. But I wouldn't say I was born this way. I do feel somewhat repressed by my inner critic, perfectionism, and fearful avoidantness. I find sex the way other people have it gross, and if I'd were to have it, I would want to be treated like a sacrum, and no guy would agree to that in this day and age. So better avoid the topic entirely.

I've learned not to allow other people to dictate my life. This video is confirming and I appreciate it.

I like seeing older people who are asexual. As a 41 year old asexual/demiromantic, this makes me feel less alone in the sea of kids and young adults who are asexual. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely glad that we're moving into a more positive direction regarding representation. It's just kind of a struggle for us older folk who didn't have access to even a quarter of the info out there regarding LGBTQIA topics. Growing up, i thought something was wrong with me, especially in my teen years. So many kids were having sex (and even getting pregnant) in high school, while i didn't want to in the slightest. I enjoyed watching TV and spending time with friends and my sister more than anything else. It was only just this year that a therapist who's an expert on sexualities told me I'm probably asexual based on what i told her about how I've never felt sexually attracted to anyone, even the most conventionally attractive people, and never desire sex, even with my fiance. To all of you out there trying to point at trauma as a "possible cause": it's got nothing to do with that. I even asked my therapist that question. She said it's just like any other sexuality or gender identity. You're just born that way.

@lynntaylor9681 10 месяцев назад

I'm aro-ace and I'm 44. I only went on two dates in high school with the same guy and that's it. He dated a couple of my friends and when he asked me I said yes to see what it's like. Never even kissed the guy. I haven't been on any dates since. I have no romantic or sexual attraction to anyone. Saw what my friends went through dating and I felt bad for them. I didn't find out the term until I was 40 in 2020 from a YT video. It was so nice to finally learn the term and find out that I wasn't alone. Never cared about trying to fit it since I haven't anyway since I was a kid born with a learning disability. So I had no reason to date to keep up appearances. Just seems stupid to me since I have 0 interest in dating.

The world can learn so much about what these folks are offering. They are correct in explaining the most important and meaningful part of a healthy relationship that will last is the experience that comes from interacting, bonding, and embracing someone in their entirety intellectually, the complete immersion and passion of absorbing and loving the entirety of the partner’s soul. If we had more focus on that, and less mindless obsession on sex, we would have countless millions less cases of divorce, kids growing up with an absent parent, who are all but guaranteed to grow into damaged adults, and a world with much less trauma and mental illness. I think these people have evolved neurally beyond the overwhelming majority of us, they have mastered that bit of reptilian wiring that drives animals to reproduce at all cost, in favor of exercising a trait that is arguably exclusive among our species- which is having the ability to choose logic and reasoning to deny our reptilian, primitive, instinctual programming.

Sexuality is super complex and very psychological hence many types of orientations have existed and will always exist. I believe sexuality is defined when you are still a toddler. You become heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual or asexual at that very young age and you grow up without talking about that inner intimate definition of yourself because you are too young to understand what's going on and you are too ashamed to talk about it. Then you grow up and you either feel comfortable when the world you live in finds your orientation ok, or you feel threatened and harassed when the world you live in finds it not ok.

@Chiller-pc1dv Год назад

I don't understand why asexuals , people who are low on the sexual urge part of the spectrum, offends those who are have more.

@0xszander0 2 года назад

Yeah we should accept everyone. However I do think if you're on the outskirts of that spectrum it is worth taking a look what might cause this. I know people that are oversexual due to past trauma. On the other hand we know asexuality can be caused by hormone imbalances or trauma as well. Don't give such unsolicited advice to anyone of course.. But I do wonder how many of these people actually know themselves. Or might actually have underlying issues causing them to be on that part of that sexual spectrum.

Ever since I was a child I always found kissing and any sort of sex scenes in movies were disgusting.. I never wanted a boyfriend, never wanted children, never wanted sex. I was preassuered by society (and boyfriends especially) to do the sex, breeding, and marrying thing. I knew I wasn’t interested in women (I had offers. The thought of being with a woman disgusted me more than the thought of being with a man). I did the sex thing coz that is what you did to please your partner, but I found it all a chore. And kissing makes me want to vomit. After being married for a year or so I discovered the concept of Asexuality, and it was like a light went off in my brain. I told my husband, and he told me he just thought I was actually gay. I stopped initiating the sex-because-it-is-expected, and pretty soon after that we separated and divorced. I haven’t had sex since, and have been much happier. I made myself some ace wrist bands and found some badges. I wear them everywhere. Now when ever I get hit on, I show those off and the guys usually back right off. Sometimes they will ask about it and we get into deep conversations instead of “sexual stuff”. I now have much deeper friendships with people, and with the men who are my friends I can feel safe around them. We know where we stand relationship wise.

Every woman under a certain age, and over a certain age is expected to be asexual, and you talk to any older woman and she'll tell you sex is an extra, not an essential in life. It's the American fantasy that sex is essential and life without sex is 'unhealthy'. This documentary behaves as if there's something wrong with these people. It's like some people are mad for chocolate and others don't care for it. But perhaps if people understand that life without sex isn't weird, they'll stop imagining all celibate people are weird.

Hat's off to them. Then come the people who aren't interested in it, for me, they are not committing any sexual crime, it's super eco-friendly and also, career friendly, nobody could veto that
