Does this sex having require another person or does my couch count?

Asexuals: "Guess I'll just die then."

[–] TheHotze 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Asexuals can have sex... I mean I don't, but it is an option, we just don't feel sexual attraction. Edit: so yeah, I guess I will die now. I forgot the point.

[–] Mango 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Curious. I've got some questions.

I'm attracted to women, though I like futas too. Men however gross me out when I think of them touching me. Do you feel grossed out at all by the thought of either or both genders touching or having sex with you?

[–] TheHotze 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, the gross feeling being applied to everyone is a good way to describe being sex repulsed. There are levels to it though (even for non ace people) some people are okay with fantasy but not the real thing, some people are repulsed even by sexual fantasies, and some people are okay with fantasy if they aren't an actual part of that fantasy.

Ironically, the article claims the opposite - having sporadic (as opposed to regular or no) sex can trigger an heart attack.

So just don't things half way.

A good example of a time where you really need to full-ass it.

When you gotta Gunpla, you gotta Gunpla.

Reading the actual article , it seems that the issue is doing some... strenuous physical activity when you are not used to it can trigger heart attacks.

Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.

Why do you assume they don't have sex? It doesn't specify what they need to have sex with...

[–] moshtradamus666 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably a correlation though, not cause

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This does insinuate that a high-risk of heart attack causes sexlessness.

Better stock up on advil.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well yes, that makes sense and all, but it's not nearly as fun as saying mojo is directly controlled by heart health. Or that cancer causes cell phones, or that people named Killian cause air bag recalls. They're obviously wrong and ridiculous, and that's funny.

I don’t really know if it is really true, but I’m not taking any chances.

If this were true I would already have had like 19 heart attacks by now

Username checks out....maybe

[–] grue 4 points 1 month ago

Don't worry OP, there are plenty of sharks in the sea.

[–] SomeGuy69 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Loneliness kills, if you're lonely you're probably having zero sex.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Support your local hookers! lol

[–] Noodle07 1 points 1 month ago

Performance anxiety and being broke AF prevents me from supporting my local sex workers. Chance of heart attack is through the roof

[–] tomi000 3 points 1 month ago

Most people dont have heart attacks, so 2.5 times that is not really much.
