IS IT FOR REAL?
There can be many reasons for a lack of sexual feeling. Some of it can result from medical or psychological issues such as endocrine imbalances, certain tumors of the Asperger syndrome, schizoid personality disorder or other forms of autism, anorexia or bulimia or the lasting effect of childhood sexual abuse. Dispersion and certain medication can also cause a temporary loss of libido. A range of independent factors can also cause situation, secondary inhibited sexual desire (ISD) within a relationship.
It is also possible that younger asexual individuals may not have reached a state of self awareness and overall psychosocial development to have discover the full range of their sexually. This mean they may just be a little lost in this area. For all you know, they could be late bloomers. A result to there people settling on an asexual identity is that they could be restricting themselves from fully developing their sexuality as a person
Repressed closeted homosexual could also mistake themselves for being asexual.
Also, it is advisable to understand that an asexual person may be awakened by a suitable romantic or sexual partner. Remember that the one person who will rock your world could still be out there.
FATHER OF SEXOLOGY’S SAY
The father of sexology, Alfred Kinsey was aware of an sexual element in the population,
However, he never gave it much thought seeing that he did little to investigate it, It was quite palpable that the man was only interested in sex and not the lack of it. So he came up with a scale for sexual orientation. In this Kinsey scale of sexual orientation there is a single axis lying between heterosexuality and homosexuality with bisexuality in between.
This meant there was no place for asexuality. Nevertheless, in the Kinsey report of 1948 and 1953, subjects were scaled from 0 (completely heterosexual) to 6 (completely homosexual), there was separate category of X which was created for those with “no socio-sexual contacts of reactions”.
WILD LOVE
More that 450 species of animal have displayed homosexual behavior but did you know that sheep has provided the best evidence of asexuality in the animal kingdom? In the 1990s, a study by three different American teams discovered that 10 per cent of rams showed interest in ewes sexually attracted to other rams. This means 3 per cent of rams were sexually inactive
BARNEDY BARRETT
Barneby Barrett, a sex therapist in Detroit and president of the American Association of sex Education, Counselors, and Therapists is certain that to say someone is ‘asexual’ is synonymous to saying that they’re not a human being. She’s also critical of the idea that ‘asexually’ is an orientation or that it’s somehow the inevitable way some people are born “The basic building blocks of sexual patterning are there in everyone. The real question about what you’re describing as ‘asexual’ is: what sort of history could make someone wind up being that closed down?”
WHILE AN ASEXUAL WILL FELL NO DESIRE TO LOOK FOR A SEXUAL PARTNER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO SEXUAL AROUSAL AT ALL..
