I don't think anyone knows that one way or the other ... so there is the source of the controversy. The majority never likes anyone who is different from them.

I agree that love and sex are not the same thing, and even sometimes sex, or an addiction to sex or a sexual incompatibility can destroy love, or an otherwise good friendship. This video shows some examples of people who say they are asexual, but it is not a complete or good study of the subject. There is not scientific data ... and I think the main gist is that these are people and should be respected. Anyone who attacks or dislikes these folks because of their sexuality or lack of it is an idiot. Just leave people along and let them find their own way. The thing that sticks out to me, and I mean no offense by this, but the people used as examples are not sexy people. They are not really attractive people, and who knows what they grew up around, or what their experiences have been, or what their health is like. Are these people who do not masturbate too, or feel any need to relax and release their sexual tension? Maybe there is a mechanism that generates sexual tension that these people do not have. What is their attraction to people. I assume they are like other people and have friends and acquaintances ... so what does their attraction to people who they want to be friends with look like? Do they have normal friendships? There is so much to ask and to know, and this virtually did nothing except show them walking around?

Hilarious.

@lennart5185 Sorry if I somehow offended you or set you off. The vilifying claims you are making about me are not what I believe ... such as ... > the people who made it don’t question a proper sexual orientation like you do. > I guess you just don’t want to accept asexuality exists > Just leave us alone, we already found our own way. I am not doing that, and you've fixated on someone to argue with. I'm not playing. I am certainly not obsessed with you. I think you are just trolling the comments to find someone to accuse of attacking you because you want to play the victim or be a control freak. I know from my own personal life, if one wants to stand out of be different you are going to get some uncomfortable reactions, and unless it violates your rights best to learn not to take it personally. > you are keen on invalidating our experiences, health and social life, I’m not sure if my reply will change your mind. You don't need to change my mind because I am not doing any of that.

@lennart5185 So, then, you have been gaslit I guess, right? Two can play at your passive-aggressive looking for a dust-up game. But since that is not my thing, I'll just point it out. Face it, you wanted to police the comment board to pick a politically correct fight and I guess I just happened to lure you in ... unintentionally with some ambiguous rhetoric that you decided to leap at.

@lennart5185 ace phobic is not a word in my dictionary, so I don't know what you mean. As I said, no offense was meant, and sorry if you took it that way. If you read what I really said and meant, it was not that I lured you in, but that you were lured in, so that's on you. No biggie, I'm sure we've all done it. If you want to have the last word, then if you can possibly say sometime I don't feel the need to correct or defend myself, I'd be happy to allow you.

@lennart5185 Anyway, I want to give you credit for being willing to talk in a documentary about yourself and your life and being different in society. That took guts.

So ... if an asxexual person is in a relationship with someone who is sexual, or less asexual than they are, like Martin and his wife ... how would Martin like it if his wife had sex with someone else? Could he live with that?

@aceclop True, but I imagine there would be some commonality, some common feelings and fears, like the fear their partner-best_friend is going to discover some relational dimension that he or she cannot satisfy and he or she will lose something. Humans are all sensitive to loss and imagined loss - that's kind of universal. Also kind of universal to be reluctant to share, even something one might not think they want. Whatever their sexuality, human beings are just crazy.

@aceclop Maybe I am old fashioned or just clueless but there is something that just seems off about someone liking their partner to be with someone else. It doesn't add up, but you're probably right that there are some people who do.

There may be a certain "imprinting" period for people and sexuality, like there is for birds and flying, or ducks and attaching to their mothers. I remember distinctly as a little kid meeting my cute cousin and being attracted to her in a way I was not attracted or boys. It was natural and instinctual. I think I may have been about 2 or 3. She was attracted to me, and they called her the little tick because she stuck to me. It was very cute, but it may have been a critical moment in the development of my sexuality - even though it was not sexual. Could be there is some experience or social ritual that these folks are missing, or maybe nutritional or hormonal. Now ... should that be called abnormal? I don't think so, but can it then be called normal? What if there is something wrong or missing in these folks? Is being asexual now part of their basic identity? I mean, hypothetically, if this condition could be explained medically, and cured, would they want to take the cure or remain the way they are?

@dragonbaby635 OK, but what question are you answering?

Sweden is stupid ... Russia invaded Ukraine for specific reasons that have nothing to do with Sweden. Now, Sweden wants to declare itself hostile to Russia? That doesn't make sense ... same with Finland. Their governments are colluding with the CIA to screw over their own people.

I'm surprised that he said that electric cars only require about 4 times more copper than internal combustion cars. I would think it would be much more.

The new global union movement is primary importance. Unions = democracy in work.

Funny that the two guys talking about plastics are both wearing jackets, like many others are that are made of plastics and filled with plastic. Then there is all the fleece jackets and clothes made from recycled plastic too. It's terrifying. Climate change, energy production, nanoplastics, war, hate, social media ... the human race is circling the drain.

@lennart5185 What's your point? I know it, everyone else knows it too. It is always funny to see the exemplars that media puts out to illustrate a certain class of people, that's all.

@lennart5185 Loads of fake positivism there Len. You were a choice of representing asexual people. How did I put you down, or is that just what you naturally assume people are doing. I don't have any problem you, your sexuality or anyone else - this just struck me as kind of funny because of its approach.
