Being asexual, a hermit, and adventurous
    #7751600 - 12/12/07 10:00 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

What's the problem?


--------------------
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

theres no problem, being asexual is just a different life style choice. I heard 14% of people are asexual and 2.3% of people don't have sex at the age of 40.

So 40 yr old virgin shouldn't be as funny as they wanted it to be.

i couldn't do it, but if you can and are happy with it, then go for it.

*if you are being serious, why do you want to go this route?

I don't see anything wrong with being asexual...
but a hermit... meh, i believe humans are supposed to be social creatures. There's a reason isolation is used as torture.

i honestly cannot buy into a person having no sexual desire. even buddhist monks have them, they just deny themselves of it.

You know man, I've honestly discussed this philosophy with a friend before. Our theory that was developed was how much a man could achieve without the distraction and frustration of the opposite sex. Even at greater, how much he could achieve without BOTH. That is, he goes about his own life educating himself, studying what he pleases, conquering his goals and not caught up in a relationship(s), or a sex life of some sort that buys his time into the more pertinent things. We also developed the idea of a "third" sex, one that doesn't really have any sexual organs or orientation and is almost just like a man except basically functions from his own worldly goals. In my opinion, I wouldn't mind sort of "getting away" from the queries sufficed because of the opposite sex, but I honestly would have to come back sometime... Almost an exile of desire, but deep down inside my horomones and instinct tell me I just gotta get that pussy so you know...

I don't believe that for a second.

If any human sickens you, it's because they are a reminder of how much you dislike yourself.

right! my personal torture would be getting stuck in a crowded mall for eternity, with everyone walking really slow. I'm not sure I could deal with total hermit-style isolation, but it sounds like an awesome path.

They don't deny or repress the desire, they transmute the huge amount of sexual energy into other kinds of energy.

All he said was that he was "asexual"...which is not the same thing as having no sexual desire. Rather it is a lack of wanting to participate in sex with another person. Being asexual doesn't mean you are against sex...just that you don't care if you have sex with another person.

That's what I believe. I've found that, during the times I'm most resentful of others is when my self esteem is low. When I'm happy with myself, others don't bother me.

I don't know if running away from human contact is the answer. There might be something to be gained from thinking about why you resent others.

I have tons of friends but a sustained amount of time with them and I find myself disgusted.

My main gripe is probably their laziness; laziness for oneself, their peers, their family, their responsibilities etc.

Failure to respect others' space, respect others' belongings, and failure to respect others period!

Complaining. Let me tell everyone this right now, "I don't give a fuck about the hole you're stuck in; that's right. The one you dug yourself, that one, its better if I just fill it in than jump down there to help you."

Money. Showboating. Makes me want to burn everything I have so people stop trying to impress me with shit of their own.

Brains. Again, stop trying to impress me. I have begun practicing a new form of social conversation. I only give answers when asked directly. I never question anymore. Enough bullshit people.

I think you get the picture now. And I do not practice what I hate. I am not hating the mirror or myself.

Stop being petty. Repressing or transering the energy in to other outlets still equates to them having sexual desires. :rolleyes:

When I am at peace with myself and am happy, I can engage in conversation with the most unlikely of people.

Mike is probably a bright guy with poor social skills or is simply unhappy. Instead of coming to terms with this, he rather write everyone else off instead of helping himself.

I like sex, drugs, and rock & roll way too much to become a hermit. :rockon:

haha, mike, you should watch this video and still let us know if you are ok with the life of a hermit. you ain't gonna be finding no bears or possoms as sexy-like as this white woman. i guarantee it. :craven:

Sounds like your friends don't share your values. Do you think there is nobody out there who does? Maybe there are people out there you would like.

You aren't going to find anybody that doesn't do ANY of the things you don't approve of. People can be materialistic and selfish, shortsighted and unpleasant; they're fallible humans. Do you believe you are infallible?

How do you define respect? By my definition of it, you don't respect the people you described as your friends. Obviously you find some value in them as humans. Are their faults too much for you to accept?

Ah, I understand what you mean, and respect that instead of wallowing in the disgust you have for people you're taking initiative and actually doing something about it. I agree with you, those things disgust me aswell, and I am a hypocrit for saying that because many of those things I will find myself doing. Maybe that's why I am so tolerant of it, because I catch myself being another irritating and whiney person at times, so I understand that people do all these things without realizing it, or consideration for anyone else.

Rather than just keep quiet I'll point out when someone is complaining, or showboating, etc., I'll tell them that they're just complaining because they want to hear their own damn voice, just as I expect people to do the same to me, as I catch myself doing it aswell. I think that when people have that kind of personality and are surrounded by the same type of people in society, then it is simply a downward spiral of close mindedness and lack of self improvement. If no one tells them that they're doing these things than they'll never be aware of any problems.

I am an asshole. At least that makes me good at spotting others. :grin:

I love my friends because I have real close relationships with them. I wouldn't doubt it for them to take a bullet for me and I for them. We are like brothers.

I just can't stand living with people, is what I was trying to say.

I love meeting new people, well, a certain kind of people, 'real' people. No posers plz. My favorite people to hang out with are ghetto people (People that live in the ghetto), even though I am white and from the sticks. I dunno. They're just full of the truth; down to earth etc. They don't give a fuck about other ppl's shit either but they love em no matter.

People, I guess, are like food to me and I love to eat; kinda like a big fat juicy steak. But if I eat too much, I get sick.

i could probably be an asexual hermit but i'd have to load my consciousness and subconsciousness with a lot of thoughts similar to what miekbar is expressing and reinforce them enough to be fuel for my asceticism

sitting in my mountain, cranky, shaking fist,

DAMN YOU HOOLIGANS AND YOUR TEENAGE WAYS

stay away from my rock!

i mean its like, some people like us ask WHY too much to the point where was ask the stupid question, why live?

well

most people that have lots of sex, drink lots of beers, and you know, listen to lots of music, and watch lots of tv, and read lots of trivial magazines, and talk about trucks, and go to sports games and such

well and then they go to school and they work all day doing things that make their brain numb

and maybe take ritalin or something or an SSRI or something

don't really have a lot of whys they just coast

coasting is righteous and i like to coast, but damned if i'll coast where the man wants me to, i want to coast in waters that are great to surf in with good companions

i mean mike what would be your utopia, if you could recreate Earth would you still be human, and have other humans, but fill the mind with things other than dream Ferarri Barbie ads?

cause i'll tell you sex is evil

i mean having sex isn't evil really

its just sitting in your room wanting to have sex, and looking at porn, and thinking about it, and the craving

the catering to the hollow

now that fucking hurts man i've roasted myself over that spit a good long time and i'm sick of it

only a few things i want or wanted in life, great sex with someone i loved, letting me explore tantra

and to find lsd or shrooms or something or else

sit in an ashram with a holy man, where i can touch his feet and it gets me high on God and omniscience ya know

i don't fit in people watch football and all i see is frilly weird ass helments and a ritual that makes no sense other than to get everyone to bark like dogs at a tv screen

but fuck

don't th$ye have more fun than us old timers set in our ways ?

i mean i love to fucking yell, but not really at a tv more like just have a yelling contest and like yell POPSICLE or something really loud you know

than to watch men chase balls its never been me
when i was wee

a little one

i went into a trance and saw the collective karma of all football and sports and it disturbed me because it was so

polarly dependent upon LOSING that it created a lot of suffering in this world

cuase don't you know

the proles

they would save the world if they cared enough to have a non violent revolution, just to like take one million or two

and sit in the streets of dc

sayin

we don't like war

wearin business suits so we looked normal

but they wanna talk about the Penix L50, the truck big enough for any man's ego you know......

but i mean take a look that these thoughts are in no way healthy and only contribute to paranoid isolation it is better to play the game like a Jedi, sitting in a bar, its not your thing, never has been, but you keep your cool and play along

maybe? or is there a good place for us to do more cool things like be naked and dance and paint our bodies and take drugs and have tantric sex and cuddle parties?

maybe? or is there a good place for us to do more cool things like be naked and dance and paint our bodies and take drugs and have tantric sex and cuddle parties?


Then off to Burning Man you go.:thumbup:

Yeah, that's true, it can be.  But it's also a pretty deep philosophical question.  For what reason do we remain alive?  Enlightenment?  Procreation?  Gummy bears?  I think asking questions like that can get the ball rolling... I guess as long as you aren't attached to the answers you come up with. :tongue:

edit: I misread "if" as "it's"... so, my reply is: I agree. :laugh:

hmmmm okay

I am curious about the new vicarious video, shedding light on this subject....... only relevant to clones of Him like mua

because i see mushroom trips avatar and its beautiful, and my window's view doesn't really look like that, and i wonder.... why?

see here is the thing, if everyone does what they love, we stop living in hell.

i said this to some old folks in my psych class once and they said "say that again!" i was like "cool" and said it again lol

its true of course, what if we built ..... for love ? instead of.... for money?

so the question is good, yeah...... because if you have a good answer then "i want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live"

:heart:Mikebart. 
I know how you feel and i am there plenty during the day. I see these piping hot liquid shit thoughts coming out of people and they way they embrace themselves and others is horrid...but then i ask, why does this disgust me?

Click here before reading the next para-sutra?
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/upload.php?action=avatar&unum=170740&url=/07-50/759801472-May_4182.jpg

Look inside for the reason that begets your peace and begins the journey back to your inner child, the one which didnt distinguish between disgust and enticement, lush and moist.Looking externally is a part of the solution, but internally it is where your disgust stems and where the little child was left so long ago, to futile notions of 'responsibility' and good/bad, at around the age of 12.


Could it be that i am disgusted because it reminds me of what scars and wounds are left rotting, when i turn my back on them in disgust, when i flee to be a hermit in my mind.

This is not a question.

Learning to embrace others with a sickness they do not know they create and are oblivious to having, is a wonderful feeling. Remember, the experience of those things which are enticing to our existence, lies in the amount of disgust you experience. Ying and yang - Mofo and dojo. lol

I find open, tantric sex with the person I love far too enjoyable to ever desire to be asexual. But people are different, and there is nothing inherently wrong with either ways of living. Try it, maybe after a few years you will learn things and wish to return, in a new light, to society and sexual interaction.

I've read interviews with members of a band (Velvet Cacoon), both of whom claimed to be asexual. They said they considered sex a waste of time and that, by not having sex, they allowed their minds to remain more able to think about other things.

Im kind of a loner myself. I just feel drained when I am round people all day, so I spend the far majority of my time by myself. I don't want to think of myself as a misanthropist; Im just a distant lover of humankind. :smile:




I like that :smile:




Word.

That is very accurate on my position as well.
I still have alot of years ahead of me to face though (hopefully). And I have taught myself patience to the point I can accept waiting for someone ideal for my full desires until that time comes. I need to find that 'special someone' that can understand my true character, listen to what I really have to say, and always have that intuitive chemistry that keeps things alive, if you know what I mean.  Another quality I highly respect in the opposite sex (well both really) is trust. Majority of girls at my age level lack this by great measures and I simply can't put up with that. I don't mind waiting years and years to actually find someone that I can accept in a relationship status. I'm not trying to say I'm going to 'shut myself out', but in the meantime, I'm going to continue with my mycological studies, work on my "extra-cirricular" activities, excel in my classes etc. and let my brain thrive at information I have yet to acquire. "I've got bigger blunts to smoke." is how I like to put it.
