Asexual?

[Rollo Tomassi]

Have a look at this study.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/10/14/asexual.study/index.html

How much do you want to bet the 1 in 100 are predominately women? Menopause? They're ready to standardize a new sexual orientation after an 18,000 participant study? Get the fvck out of here!

Instead on nukes, I see Grand new way to destroy humankind!

First they desexualize males to make them AFC, then make a trend of Asexuality.

If I was big enough I took a big and long dump on this world with a huge grin on my face!

Survey's don't mean sh1t its not really a scientific analysis. They should have asked those "asexual" if they masterbate - then will see that 1 percent shrink even more. If they do, then it means they are intrested in sex, its just that they are not getting any. (like half of the guys here, but at least most of them will thanks to this great DJ forum)

Finding out if there are any physical, mental ailment, hormonal changes and that number dissapears to almost 0.

being not intrested in sex, is like going to the beach when it snows. You won't get the full joy in life.

Asexual is supposed to mean that you have no sex drive, so you don't respond to 'sexy' things, right? They should be showing them pictures of women and asking if they are turned on

Instead of ridiculing the survey, you guys should be paying attention.

I bet more than 1% of women are asexual...

You will find out after you go AFC and marry a woman who rapidly loses interest in sex. Some of these women just pretend to enjoy sex until they rope in an AFC for life...

These women ARE out there. I am sure you have seem them... ones who are tomboys or not interested in dating, etc.

I am not sure why you guys ridiculed the survey when you know that it is the truth... watch out for these women... you don't want to pursue them, no matter how good they look

...ones who are tomboys

Strange comment!

Those who are tomboys, actually are the most horny people I´ve heard of!

Is it an exception?

 

[Player_Supreme]

No offense against English blokes but look at where the study was done!

Did they come to my side of the tracks to survey? NO.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I'm not sure what the statistics are for the rest of the world is, but considering that 66% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese, I'm actually surprised that this percentage isn't higher. Even at 1% it still shows that 99% of the population is interested in sex. I like my chances.

Heheh,..

As posted by James V. Kohl, a researcher in these matters, in another forum in answer to this article:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
People who are born with no sense of smell reportedly don't fall in love. However, in the cases studied, the patients also produce minimal if any sex hormones. Another confusing angle is that if you provide hormone therapy, sexual interest develops in the patients.

What I think is lacking is the hormone response to pheromones, which basically conditions our sexual response cycle from the day we are born. With no olfactory/pheromonal input, a newborn has no means by which to experience a sex difference in processing of the signals from others of the same species. These sex differences are essential to forming the basis for attraction and love.

Also, as with other animals, if a male loses his sense of smell before his first sexual experience, his sex drive will suffer--just as with loss of the sense of smell (in aging, or through trauma) the sex drive declines.

No one's "asexual". It's just society has "educated" the sexuality out of them. I'm sure most of them are just in denial.

GOOD OL BOY: Interesting observation, it makes sense too. Women living in close proximity tend to synchronize their menstrual cycle as a result of pheromones. I've read studies of women living in college dorms where their cycles synch in about 2 months. The idea is that females synch their menstration in order to be simultaneously fertile for a single male to breed with. We have olfactory receptors in our noses that are sensitive to scents that we don't consciously percieve. Makes you wonder that if these receptors are damaged in some way, or misaligned in some way that it could lead a person to be asexual, homosexual or bisexual. Speculations of course, but interesting,..

There have been studies that showed that when people lost their sense of smell by accident or because of a brain tumor, their sex drive died. Also, in one study, homosexuals were asked how they spotted other homos. Their answers were often "I smell them". Studies have shown that Androsterone/etiocholanolone ratios vary in men and women and in homosexual men are mid-way between values for men/women. So, the loss of smell seems to be the working point, whether the VNO is functioning or not. IMO
