Being asexual, a hermit, and adventurous
    #7751600 -

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.

I dunno. Any amount of time I spend with another human sickens me, but I love all of you. I want a boat to sail away, a plane to fly away, a house that no one knows the address. Patagonia here I come!

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.

Isolation is torture?? Man! What I wouldn't give for THAT torture! :lol:

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'm really interested to know why this is, if you wouldn't mind going into a little detail as how you justify that it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
