I’ve had a very low sex drive ever since getting into something called MGTOW. All of my desire for women has become extremely muted. I thought I was a sapiosexual (sexually attracted to intelligence) for awhile, but that’s not the case. I just don’t ever want to have sex. I think it’s because I look at it through the lens of biochemistry (love as purely chemical) and statistics – cold, hard numbers. I enjoy people watching, though.
I feel hated. And people have the right to hate me (
so long as they aren’t violent
towards me – their emotions are their own and valid… even if they’re directed at me), but, as a consequence, I also have the right not to love people. I don’t actually mind feeling hated for my views (whether it’s founded, or whether it’s an over generalization on my part, or skepticism, or whatever it is). I just want to be free to find my own happiness, that’s all.
I don’t wish ill on anyone, but I’m labeled a misogynist for not liking women (romantically).
Have you ever been hated or misunderstood for practicing asexuality (even by other asexuals)?
Maybe it’s because I’ve never been in an asexual safe-space before, but I feel like I have to repeat that: I don’t hate women. I just don’t like them romantically. The same goes for men.
It’s a bit awkward being the first person to post in this forum. Please fill this space with your view (if you want to, that is).
