If everyone were asexual, life would be perrfect

..really.

No petty struggles over immature men and ladies, catfights, dogfights

one area where immaculate conception is a bright concept.

Sometimes, relationship problems are nauseating, it's mere crap that gets churned up over and over.

shat, posted in the wrong forum. Am supposed to weave in some astrology.

Like maybe if astrology still existed, it'll be pure astro-manifestations, not divided by petty gender differences.

I don't have problems with genders, but sometimes find relationship troubles way to abhorrent to handle or even read about. No wonder it's considered a seperate entity by themselves.

I don't like all the games or reading about them.

sometimes.

rem. we are all spiritual beings. Gender is just an earth trait as a form of reproduction.

^ thats by choice and not creation.. its quite different. You can turn the switch on and off to your liking.

I dont know how it works, but my idea is that everything that needs to exist already exists. The dont need to go through any painful process.. maybe not multiplying but appearing? (in what way i dont know, since they already exist or something..)

I'm not gonna impose my dogma on you, but I think that we are all here (hell on earth) to work out our karma.. and pain is a necessary part of karma, that people tend to play out in earthly games meant for mere means of bringing new life to earth to work out their karmas (who actually existed long ago on another plane).

It just goes on and on (I'm not sure which religion or dogma I subscribe to, most likely that buddhist one, which seems most logical to me).

So, the next day I'll not think about this anymore (yes my Libra fickleness is like a vapor) and I'll just forget I even wrote this as an absolute, which it really isnt..

😄

I think you're more ascetic than asexual though. Asexuals have no repro parts or have been messed with.

I know alot of ascetics too, nothing wrong w/ that at all, or the converse (overtly sexuals). Its just a personal pref thing.

This cannot be! Life in a body is fab! Why miss out on the joys that having a body offers?? Where's the fun in that? To absolve all that to be free of petty relationship troubles seems a bit far-fetched.

Hey why did you hide it? I didn't catch what you said 😢

I guess that's the other side of the story, I guess. I also said this was just a random thought, that will be vaporised sooner or later.
But by the way, if you didn't have body, you may have something better. Wanna take a chance?

I just wanted to comment regarding homosexuality becoming the norm or something but I realised it was just tying another knot with the sexuality reference 😛.

Those who disagree must really love the fun gamey side of bodily life. 😄

^Maybe in your world but not in real life, dude..

metrosexual is different from homosexual.. after the Aquarian age is done, comes the Capricorn age.. which is.. strict adherence to laws of nature! Traditional, man woman relationships with two children and one and a half dogs!!!!

😛😛

^Thats the Aquarian in you speaking.. I think. 🙂

(or maybe the mutable planets?)

Then it's those mutables then! Yes, that must be it! 😛

Do you think some peeps would change there mind if they woke up one morning/ spent a week like this ?

Pigeonpie, Spica didn't mention anything about physical deformity, so i don't know why you're bringing it up. She merely said that what's nagging her is the petty side of man/woman relationships. REAL TALK.
Secondly, Hawking has said himself he's in no hurry to leave yet. Therefore if he did have serious qualms about living in the body he's got, he would have openly stated it and said something along the lines of "if you woke up one morning/spent a week like this would you be a happy chappy?" He seems a happy chappy to me. REAL TALK.

Yup i don't hold you to it. The next time you get your bones rattled-like really rattled, come back and let's hear you 'praise the lord'!

As for your 'something better', nope not keen to find out.

I nearly wanted to post the Hawking picture (seriously all things tie up re: the thread on his grand design thingy) but decided not to anyhow 😛

Ouch, I hope I don't get my bones rattled, like ever.. else I prolly would try to find god and be a religious nutella (no offense intended to anyone).

And yeah, whatever intelligent designer designed this body, hallelujah, mortals are too weak to change anything related to anything apart from that supposed lifepath thingy (even that is debateable), so just enjoy it for what its worth.

(btw, Hawking is an example of someone who super exceeded the limitations of body.. what an amazing inspiration; I think it takes someone like him to be the next messiah)

Hawking's btw is a Cap! So, yeah, he's happy, he's moving forward and climbing that mtn...

PP, He may not be sexy, but he is one of the greatest minds alive today!!

"Bono's trying to be the next messiah."

*tries to read up all about Bono in 5 mins*
do you think he's a viable candidate?

"Hawking's btw is a Cap! So, yeah, he's happy, he's moving forward and climbing that mtn..."

Jan 8.. double Cap, I doubt failure is ever an option.

"omg! is he one of those people who have to press a button, and then a robotic voice talks for them? lmfao! i wanna meet him!"

Take a number, lol! His virtual secretary will assist you.

You are a smart human being. If you take away the sexual desire, we no longer see women pinning after that guy who doesn't care for them. We don't see guys stabbing each other because some girl looked at the other guy and the boyfriend didn't like it. Mankind would focus on erradicating all the dieases, all the genetic defects etc because men and women would have something on their minds instead of thinking how and when are they going to get laid.

There wouldn't be any more stds, no more undesired pregnancies, no need for make - up, push - up bras, gyms(most guys work out to look good). Men wouldn't work themselves into an early grave to get the money needed to attract the hot females, no more expensive clothes and lingerie bought by women to attract men.

And the list goes on.

So, something I came across in reading (Diane Ackerman's A Natural History of the Senses):

"We live on the leash of our senses. Although they enlarge us, they also limit and restrain us, but how beautifully."

Kinda cheesy (?), but kinda neat too, depending on one's mood perhaps.

That's called hedonism. Dependency on the satisfaction of our senses. Immediate gratification - sex, love, intimacy - instead of finding comfort in oneself. For all Tolstoy's capacity to indulge the senses, in spite of all the sexual experience he had as a young man, with all his influence and wealth..

All he wanted, when he reached maturity, was to live the life of the ascetic man.

And that. That is freedom. The Release from the five senses.

Perhaps. Freedom from hedonism, from indulging in desires could eventually bring peace and joy to those who aren't killing themselves to fulfill indulgence. However, I find that some of the people who do REALLY know how to live. If you roll through a field of flowers with the wind blowing through your hair, eat fine cheese with a great glass of wine, hear the most beautiful music you've ever heard, would you really give up your desire to indulge in the sense? It wouldn't be that bad now.

I'm not hedonistic by nature, though. I do know people who are.

Going back to the topic, I honestly don't think I could be asexual. I've had my share of heartbreak, pettiness, pain, what have you more than I can count. More often than not, I make that same wish that I want to be asexual so I could get over it all. But, I can't get over how much I love touch. And with all the heartbreak I go through, I'm going to go back to endure it all because I've had a taste of real love, and I'd probably hate myself if I just decided to toss that all away and say "fuggedaboutit."

Also, I'm forever a young horny adult, and sex isn't a hedonistic pleasure for me.

Now, if I were a sponge in the ocean, this would totally be a different story. I think budding would be cool.

I think it could be a nice place to live if it were that way and if we never knew it any other way then it would be much easier. Now I think if it happened after we had lived some of our lives the way we do now that we would indeed miss it and want it back.
Who knows— I do think the spurts of love and happiness and fulfillment are sometimes worth the alone and miserable and unsatisfying times.
It's a complicated issue to say the least b/c I do like the emotionality that comes from a sexual relationship but if we had nothing to compare it to then it would be GRAND!

just because we'd be asexual does not mean we wouldn't form relationships with each other. not all relationships are based on sex

Oh this is quite true. I just think for me personally, it'd be rather hard. Not that I couldn't form relationships, because most of my emotional connections with people are formed before sex and outside of it. However, sex is also something that is a little transcending. It's not so much about the release but about coming together with someone at that moment and exploring each other. To not have some kind of intimacy is doable because some of my best connections are made through thoughtful conversation and experiencing things outside of sex with the person. But in the end, it's hard for me to just cut it out in general since I'm a fairly sexually charged person whether I'm with someone or not.

Going back to the topic, I feel like you couldn't' just become asexual immediately because you'd have to suppress certain urges and desires to get to that state. Like SPP said, if you went your whole like that way, then yeah, life would probably be peachy. The drama would possibly lessen and you wouldn't feel so pressured (by people and yourself) to find something in people that you really desire.

Asexuality in itself isn't difficult, it's just most of society isn't.
