Guest JMT Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Study: One in 100 adults asexualLONDON, England (CNN) -- About one percent of adults have absolutely no interest in sex, according to a new study, and that distinction is becoming one of pride among many asexuals.The new study was conducted by Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist and human sexuality expert at Brock University in St. Catherines, Ontario.It was published in the latest issue of The Journal of Sex Research and is the focus of a report in this Saturday's issue of New Scientist.Bogaert's analysis looked at responses to another study in Britain, published in 1994. That study was based on interviews of 18,000 people about their sexual practices.It offered respondent a list of options. One read: "I have never felt sexually attracted to anyone at all." One percent said they agreed with the statement.That response level is close to the percentage of gay people in the population, which is around three percent, the New Scientist report says.New Scientist says such studies offer insights into sexuality, the results remain controversial. "The closest we have got to understanding human asexuals comes from studies -- mostly surveys - of people who report not have sex," it says.A 1994 survey, published by The University of Chicago Press, found that 13 percent of 3,500 respondents had no sex in the past year. Forty percent of those people said they were extremely happy or very happy with their lives."If asexuality is indeed a form of sexual orientation, perhaps it will not be long before the issue of 'A' pride starts attracting more attention," New Scientist says.Activists have already started campaigning to promote awareness and acceptance of asexuality, it reports.The Asexual Visibility and Education Network has an online store that sell items promoting awareness and acceptance on asexuality.Among the items is a T-shirt with the slogan, "Asexuality: it's not just for amoebas anymore."

Guest pod Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 I'd be bored out of my mind. You got the equipment for a reason, might as well do something with it. I can see these asexuals. "Art fags" most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slamminshaun Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 do asexual people even have the urge to masterbate?I would think not since that would involve urges, which asexual people apparently do not have. Or if they do, what kind of magazine do they use?? Popular Science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 I wonder if the idea of tolerance and acceptance should even be extended to an asexual like it is to people with normal sex drives but non-traditional preferences? Asexuality would be a deficiency, a physical abnormality. Either that or psychological repression, either option isn't something to celebrate?

Masturbation is the last thing they thing about even worse intercourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Well conducting a vigorous session of self-service is a sexual activity, so if they are asexual, they sure as hell don't engage in self-stimulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
