What do you think of this Mort? How do you know where to draw the line for what's oppressive or not inclusive enough?

The fucking shoutbox under this. Classic.

Demisexual means you're attracted exclusively to Demi Moore.

I was going to post the Seinfeld bit about Demi Moore's first name but can't find it.

 

[Mort Divine]

I have no idea what any of those words mean

Demisexual means that an individual experiences sexual attraction exclusively towards those they have a deep emotional bond with

It is a variation of grey a, which means someone who experiences sexual attraction only in limited circumstances

asexuals simply don't experience it at all

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

it's getting kinda silly

 

[Mort Divine]

Maybe it's because I've been with an asexual partner the last three years, but I don't quite see it as such. These terms aren't wildly over the top and certainly not as ridiculous as other forms of identifying can get (mostly otherkin stuff.)

It gives people a way to form a community with those who are similar to them in a culture that has normalized heterosexual heteroromantic relationships and made all others into something "gross" or "wrong." I don't see how that is a silly thing.

Not everything is going to fit into a western binary view of sexuality and romantic attraction.

On the bright side, embracing these new constructs helps solve the overpopulation problem.

It's all incoherent nonsense.

You must really hate yourself.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm pretty sure I was asexual for the 6 years I didn't have sex. Fuck that shit now. I get antsy if I go more than a week now.

 

[Mort Divine]

It's all incoherent nonsense.

You're the last person here (outside of TB) that gets to have an opinion on such matters. You approach issues of non-heteronormative identity with such a staggering amount of ignorance and obstinance that I wouldn't be surprised if you are just upset that your identity itself (that of the straight, white male in general) is no longer being simply accepted as the "default" from which all others must compare themselves.

You must really hate yourself.

Why is that?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Why is that?

Being in a relationship with someone who isn't even interested in sex sounds like a shitty time if ask me.

 

[rms]

Why do you want to date a girl who doesn't like sex versus a girl who likes sex?

 

[Mort Divine]

Why does it specifically matter? For some people it would be a no go, but it isn't for me. I've never had the highest sex drive myself, so that plays a role in it.

 

[rms]

Well do you masturbate?

 

[Mort Divine]

Yeah, takes care of a large amount of I guess "maintenance" by itself.

 

[rms]

Well a vagina is a lot better than a hand so there's one good reason

Does she get mad at you for getting erections? Hitting your winky with a broom and whatnot?

 

[Mort Divine]

I'm aware it's better, but not so much so that I'd leave my partner over it. No need to justify my relationship really.
