Maybe everything shouldn’t have a new name for every mild aspect or fleeting thought.

I literally can’t keep up with what people do or don’t want to have sex with.

Whose legs are restless or too restful

Who is a jerk and who has clinically acceptable irritability syndrome

Is he lazy or clincially unmotivated because his dog died seventy five years ago and his starbucks latte didn’t make it all better?

There is nothing left in this world for people to do other than to find some new reason to be “special” and “uniques” psychological wise.

And nothing better for certain companies than to treat some of them and get all that $$$$

Sad 😦
 
I always thought Jesus was asexual

Because I think it’s weird for God to feel that way towards women…😊

But that aside, people make such a huge deal about it. You don’t like sex, no biggie! It’s not a sin

What about the people who like sex? Like it a lot. The other 99% I would say.
 
Well this thread is 4 years old.
But for what its worth…

Research in the 1950s (Kinsey) apparently discovered that only 20% (from memory) of a population has their sexuality rigidly determined from birth.

The rest of us are apparantly malleable until our teens.

It was not unexpected that the 20% includes both heterosexuals and homosexuals (I cannot remember the proportion - 90% I believe).

The unusual finding was that there were found also asexual constitutions.
Only 1% or so.

And yes the Church considers an abiding homosexual inclination a disorder of nature.
Asexuality would seem to be the same therefore.
It is not an objective sin unless we act on it.
It is not a personal sin unless we act on it with full knowledge and consent.

You like sex? No biggie.

Unless you like sex with animals, children or stuff like that. Then you need plenty of therapy, and if in the case of children, you should be locked up 🙂

How does a person act on their (perceive) asexuality?

Um…they don’t have sex?

I don’t think asexuality and homosexuality are the same when it comes to sins

Why would anyone think asexuality is sin?

Why is it sin if one is not married and has no problems living a chaste life?

I have no idea.

Some people think being straight and liking sex is normal so they assume everything else is wrong

Virtue, acting well, in Catholicism is seen as the mean between too little and too much.
If an asexual person chose to marry there is an ongoing responsibility to “pay the marital debt” to one’s partner. That is not simply to relieve ones partner from “burning” but also as a physical sign of care and surely includes hugs or kisses etc.
This may not come easily for an asexual person.
 
I don’t think the Church has a stance on anyone, they only have guidelines:
Sexual acts meant for pro-creation
Sexual acts inside of marriage

From what I understand asexuals do not have sexual attraction to people, but they do have romantic attractions. I’m sure the Church is not negative towards these type of people since a celibate marriage could be formed, as long as a spouse isn’t deprived.
