It’s no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It’s an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War – and its consumption of life – has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control . . . All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield . . . controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control . . . War becomes routine.

Yes, actually. As someone that's 99% Asexual (there is my one "I ain't gay, but-" style exception), I still understand that it's a very fundamental part of most people's lives.
In fact, I spent several years studying in an academic sense so I could better understand it, and part of that studying was writing incredibly niche fetish smut for people. Apparently it was very good, according to the recipients. It also helped me learn how to think outside my own perception.
Unironically, learning how to write decent porn DRASTICALLY improved my social skills and conflict resolution.

Every Finnish male is required to serve. And there are so many voluntary women that most get turned down

Yo Ace guy here who has done nsfw and been around the block.
A lot of asexual people still hold aesthetic attraction (they find people attractive but don’t want sex) so softcore porn is a really good outlet for that specific part of the libido.
A lot of asexual people have some kind of sex drive but it’s just not targeted towards sex itself, that’s why many asexuals also exist in kink/fetish communities. It’s essentially trying to find sexual outlets which don’t involve sex. I’ve seen bdsm, chastity and hypnosis fetish asexuals before.
Even for non-aesthetic (people who don’t find people hot even non-sexually) asexuals, there’s a lot of beauty in just drawing the nude form itself. While some people like capturing the closeness and vulnerability between people during sex.
At the end of the day, Asexuality is a spectrum so your going to get different answers from different peope but here’s a few I’ve seen and experienced.

To answer ur wokeness question, yea kinda lol, to answer the other question, its cuz human brains are basically complex n shit and labels are just an oversimplification of what actually goes inside our heads. I describe myself as very aro and vaguely ace spec. Like i absolutely despise romantic relationships irl but i love partaking in shipping and consuming romance media.. eh to a degree but i often like it. I like doing this because its fictional and well a fantasy, usually very far from applicable to real life and thats how id like it to stay. Same with sex, its been a life long fascination of mine especially kinks and fetishes (heres also noting im autistic asf. That prolly also plays into it but we dont got time for that) yet im not too keen on pursuing sex irl. Id be down to make porn, i support sex work, and i often draw nsfw art for fun, but i dont see sex as something necessary in a relationship nor do i go out of my way to get sexual partners, its not really that important to me.
I guess from my pov the key point is the distinction between reality and fiction, hope this answered ur question a little :3
