I don’t get what people don’t get about asexuality. I’ve heard the argument about evolutionary benefit and reproduction. However, there are evolutionary benefits to asexual individuals, just as there are to being gay.

I don’t get how they think that question is any different from calling any other queer identity a disorder

Using a vibrator as someone who wouldn’t enjoy or get anything from it would genuinely be such an unpleasant experience. I am a very sexual person but on the occasions where I’m not really feeling it that kind of sensation absolutely sucks
