    i think my record is 3 years no porn and of course no masturbation. but then again i am not typical and haven't even had sex, despite being 36 years old.

    Correct. You are not typical. Your experience may be very normal in a community you would identify with such as asexuality, or it could potentially be associated with a disorder, such as hyposexuality.

    Your situation may be entirely healthy and rewarding for you, and that's great. And, frankly, you have probably saved a lot of money, time and heartache compared to many of us on the other side of that spectrum! I would just caution you not to use it as a yardstick for most other people in judging questions of sexuality.

    Your analogy is flawed. Homosexual love is harmless and consensual, unlike the beastialy or pedophilia. An estimation of 3-10% of the population is gay, you can't deny them the freedom to love someone else for the rest of their life.

    Take care not to make the mistake of assuming that orientation is a binary. Orientation is not a bit that is either 1 or 0. Rather, it's a continuum... and few of us are at the edges (100% straight or 100% gay).

    Unfortunately, Western society applies a great deal of peer pressure on us to affect 100% straightness. But nowadays that peer pressure -- designed to maximize the production of farmhands -- is obsolete. And so I wonder how all our preferences would play out if that pressure were finally lifted.

    Not to mention the asexuals, who are pushed into the same closet.

    But please remember that some of us do not have a sexuality with which to come to terms. Yes indeed, Asexuality is just as legitimate as homosexuality, bisexuality or heterosexuality.

    I find the thought of sticking my cock in a hole that shit comes out of utterly repulsive -- and I don't think anything better about a hole that period blood comes out of. Interesting. Before I had my first sex, the thought of sticking my tongue into certain places was repulsive. And yes, this included another mouth... However, such qualms went away after the first experience.

    My cock is strictly for pissing. And, very occasionally, wanking. With a johnny on, of course. I've never met an asexual... and now I'm curious: what/who do you think about when wanking? Heterosexuals think about a girl, we homosexuals think about a boy, but who do asexuals picture in their mind while jacking off? (Please don't take this wrong, I'm genuinely curious here...)

    I'll believe he didn't masturbate, or that he didn't fantasize about sex, but he never felt lust, i.e. horniness? Then he was not human[...]


    Hey man, asexuals are people too!
