Asexuality is fine in the sense that no one should be challenged or treated badly for their level of sex drive.
But in a context of falling sperm counts, testosterone levels, endocrine disruptors showing up in urine at high levels, SSRIs (some of these are male-specific but have female counterparts), I worry that just shrugging off low-to-nonexistent libido as just "ah some people are asexual and that's valid" isn't giving a complete picture.
Sex feels really good, relationships are important to most people, most relationships of the sort I'm referring to are going to be with a partner who wants sex. To reiterate, any ego-synchronic asexuals out there, if you're happy I'm happy, but it's also okay to treat a lack of libido as a medical issue and see if it can be alleviated, which is often the case.
- rpmisms 4y agoAsexuality on an individual level is fine, you shouldn't feel bad about it. As a societal phenomenon, it's worrying, and we should investigate.
