Zed posted a non-topical definition - the application of sexuality is a label of attraction - that is how sexuality of a label of an individual works.

@Theweakeredge

The topic was "asexual" people.

Ramblings about sexuality and attraction are relative but unnecessary.

"Asexual people" are not affected either way by sexuality.

And in terms of defining/labelling the asexual person, the correct label would be "asexual".

Non-topical according to what or whom?

According to the sexuality I was bringing up? You know? Referrring specifically to seuxality in one of the labels of attraction? Kinda like homosexual and heterosexual definitions? Also  - I have went out of my wy since the OP post to talk about how yes- there are indeed a lot of asexual people in how you would regard them, but there are asexual people in this regard too - just like how heterosexuality and homosexuality is TYPICALLY defined as an attraction towards a gender, asexuality is TYPICALLY defined as not being attracted to anyone, you can throw a fit with Zed all you like about how it doesn't reach your arbitrary standards, doesn't meant that its good objection.

Yes, you defined homosexual and heterosexual. You have not demonstrated how these definition necessarily exclude sexual action/activity from sexuality. Zedvictor cites another definition which includes sexual activity, essentially contradicting everything you just said. Your response is to characterize his definition as "non-topical," presumably under your own alleged authority, and now you accuses challengers like myself of "throwing a fit."

Enjoy the rest of your night, sir. I'll engage this regressive behavior no more.

@Theweakeredge

Nonetheless:

The first two lines of your opening statement referred directly and appropriately to asexuality.....However, the latter part  was a pointless and inappropriate ramble, supposedly aimed at "clearing up misunderstandings"....... Which only succeeded in creating misunderstanding, of something that is very easily understood anyway.

For some reason, you're grinding an axe, but only succeeding in making it blunter.

Yes - I cited those two definitions to provide examples of the context of sexuality that I'm referring too - if you don't like that I'm referring to that specific context too bad - I know what I mean when I write "asexual" - again - the fact that it doesn't reach you arbitrary standard all the time is not something I care about.

No - the latter two lines are making nuance - which you apparently don't understand.

No. Nuance because there is nuance. Again, the fact that some asexual people don't meet your standard is none of my concern, its simple just not the case that people have to apply to your specific definition to be asexual. The reason I call you homophobic, is similar to why I disagree with you here, you do not care about the identity of those people - you only wan to make obviously false equivalences and hold them to your own unsound standards - then pretend like others are being unreasonable for not accepting your own unproven standards.

 Some asexual people still have sex, because A) It feels good
What does it mean to be asexual if they think sex feels good?

You aren't attracted to people - sex feeling good is separate from not feeling attracted

Yes, many asexual people still have a libido and might experience sexual desire. So, asexual people might still masturbate or have sex. ... It just means they don't experience sexual attraction. There are many reasons why an asexual person might want to have sex.

An "asexual person" might want to have sex, because they are not asexual.

They naturally want to contradict their assumed identity.

Trying to conceptually override primary drive is futile.


One is not suggesting that physiological aberrations do not naturally occur.

But nonetheless, some people do lie for effect.....Notably, an "asexual person" who is obviously a sexual person.


And calling me "homophobic" is just plain childish.....As is blocking.

You aren't attracted to people - sex feeling good is separate from not feeling attracted 
But aren’t people attracted to sex because it feels good?  If this is the case, then someone who is asexual would find sex neutral or repulsive.  Gay people like gay sex.  Straight people like straight sex.

Which bit is sex?

Is it the rapture of orgasm?....Or is it the thought that goes into achieving it.

False - your organs which exude sexual pleasure are completely different from the biological complexes which dictate attraction. Furthermore, being gay is being attracted to the same gender - that can be romantically or sexually, same for heterosexuality.

@Theweakeredge.

Organs allow for the provision of musical pleasure.....Just as other organs, such as ears and penises, allow for the provision of music perhaps and procreation.....However; all pleasure is generated by the brain.

And being gay is one of several variant concepts on a theme of procreation.

And then we might "exude".

Again - pleasure receptors and the complexes which generate are entirely separate. I suppose you could semantically claim that both of the functions originating in the brain mean that they are connected - but it would disingenuous to present it like that was the implication.

To be attracted to people regardless of gender. Perceived or otherwise.
