Asexual is who?

Asexuality is a weak sexual attraction or even its absence, up to complete indifference to sex. This is not a disease, but rather a sexual orientation. And more often than not congenital. Asexual is a phenomenon that scientists have been researching since 1950.

The emergence of asexuality

The concept of "asexuality" exists for thousands of years. In many cultures, this has been and is still a manifestation of holiness. For example, monks, priests, girls who took a vow of celibacy. In ancient times, asexuality was even encouraged.

The popularity of asexuality

Asexuality has gained popularity since 2001. The impetus for this was the site of David Jay Aven. He created on the Internet a society of asexuals. The portal has already registered 50 thousand people from all over the world. True, they call themselves heteromanticists who feel feelings for other people, but do not have a sexual attraction to them.

Who is asexual? The meaning of this concept

Asexuals are called "generation X". The term first appeared in the US, when scientists described the period from the sixty-fifth to the eighty-second years. In this period of time there was a demographic decline that followed the sexual revolution.

Asexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction. For one reason or another sex does not interest him at all. Scientists have established that such people do not have any deviations in their physical development. But they deliberately refuse sex.

Asexuals are not without feelings. They are capable of love. And they think that deep platonic feelings are an ideal option. They do not experience excitement from pornography. Intimacy means only pleasant long conversations, and the female breast or male member is just the organs of the body. Sexologists note that asexuals are most often men. And the number of such people increases.

Asexual groups

Asexuals can be divided into several groups:

1. "Singletones" are singles. They can have sex. But they do not get pleasure, and they do not want to start a family. More often in intimate relations come in order to give birth to a child. Sometimes they just start a dog or a cat.
2. "Beavers" are workaholics. For the sake of career and money they refuse from family and sex. They do not like sports, they spend their free time on the Internet. Sometimes unite in pairs, but not for sex, but to maintain the image.
3. "Butterflies" is an intellectual elite. They are careless, constantly travel and change their occupation. They love music and sports. But children and sex do not matter to them. They live only for themselves.
4. "Blue stockings" are mostly feminists. They are often vegetarians, lovers of yoga. They love parties, visit exhibitions and galleries. Spend free time at the TV. They believe that it is better to have friends than family. Refuse from intimate relations.
5. "Eternal Children". People from this group become asexuals from adolescence. The reasons may be the divorce of parents, strict upbringing, cruel treatment.

The causes of asexuality

Girls asexuals can not experience sexual attraction because of very painful deprivation of virginity. Men - from disappointment in sex. The reason for indifference to the intimate side of life should be sought from childhood. For example, strict parents, wishing to save the child from troubles, inspire him that sex is a shameful and bad occupation. The reasons for the emergence of asexuality can be many:

• psychological trauma;
• Low libido;
• Disgust;
• Unsuccessful past experience;
• disgust;
• Feeling of alienation;
• depression;
• Rape, etc.

Asexuality sometimes occurs because of promiscuity and frequent sexual intercourse. A person tries to try the whole "Kamasutra", and after that loses interest in sex completely. Propaganda of free love in the media and on television can contribute to the desire to resist such obsession. Man unconsciously begins to shy away from sex, since there is no longer anything secret, intimate, hidden. The interest is lost, and as a result, the desire for intimacy disappears.

Why do asexuals not accept sex?

Asexuals - the orientation is separate. Basically, they are educated and well-read people. They are not against marriage bonds or the birth of children. They maintain a relationship with the opposite sex and lead a normal life. Just give up sex. For them not to want it - this is normal.

Some consider this a senseless waste of time. Although to deliver a loved one a pleasure, they periodically enter into an intimate relationship with him. Some asexuals experience indifference or disgust for sex. The main reason lies in the previously obtained psychological trauma.

Asexualism is an innate or acquired phenomenon?

In congenital aseksualizme a person does not have an interest in intimate relationships, even during puberty. Although it is then the hormones are most active. If asexualism is acquired, then this may be a consequence of psychological trauma or rape, after a sexual scene seen in childhood or as a result of rough and cruel sex. For example, when the first experience did not like and disgust disappeared.

Can asexuals have children?

Asexuals can have children if there are no deviations in health. Asexual is A man who simply has his attitude towards sex. In the physical terms, such people are no different from all. And when they have sex, they can even feel excited. They just do not get pleasure from it. And as soon as an asexual girl becomes pregnant, she completely refuses to continue to have sex. But the child safely nurtures and gives birth.

Also, if a man has become an asexual, this does not mean a change in the physical plane. He still has sperm. A member is excited, and the man can safely finish the sexual act, sending the sperm into the vagina for the conception of the child.

Asexuality is a disease or a new orientation?

Many psychiatrists and sex therapists do not consider asexuality a disease. But some experts disagree with them and name a few prerequisites for its occurrence:

• Endocrine and psychiatric diseases;
• Poisoning with drugs or salts of heavy metals;
• Lesions of the nervous system.

But research has shown that sexual attraction is individual, and does not directly depend on diseases. Some may want sex more than once a day, and for others, twice a month.

Consequences of asexuality

Asexual is a person who is in a "risk group". His long abstinence from sex can "backfire" with serious health consequences. Abstinence from the point of view of medicine on the person affects negatively. It is especially dangerous for men. The lack of sex affects the motility of spermatozoa.
