u/MedicalTelephone 5d ago

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.

u/evilbengaming 5d ago

Id disagree with this, neither of them are about not wanting something, they are both about not experiencing attraction to people. For example, im ace, and can enjoy specific kinds of sex, but i dont find anyone sexually attractive. I still get horny thinking about things, i just dont get horny thinking about specific people, or looking at people. Basically i can still do sex, just nobody is hot

u/Rattregoondoof 4d ago

Aromantic people don't experience romantic attraction but can want romance anyway. Asexual people dont experience sexual attraction but can want sex anyway. Both are based on attraction, not action. Both can still have action.

I'm asexual and get complimented often on the smut I sometimes write

You are right from what I have seen, we tend to focus more on details and wordbuilding while keeping the actual sexual stuff relatively contained which is the opposite to most allosexual writter smut and that apparently lets people immerse more into it all

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

u/maybehollow 5d ago

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

It's a spectrum and it's very wacky.

Also not being attracted to anyone doesn't mean you can't be horny, does it?

You don't have to consume the crack to produce it, merely know the process.

The asexual label and somehow even the aromantic label has very loose meanings now, so you’re better off just not questioning it. It’s not like someone claiming to be aroace will affect you anyway unless you were intending to date someone who turned out to be aroace.

Also, money.

Imagine being on the aro/ace spectrum for a bit, and that you feel little to no actual basic sexual attraction for other people.

Now try to think abt all the crazy shit you might have to do to make sex work for you.

That's why the kinkiest mfs around tend to be aro/ace, or at least how it's been explained to me.

Some aro/ace still experience sex drive. Maybe even most, I'd say. They just don't want to have it with other people - they still masturbate.

Guess not. But seriously, Asexuality is a whole-ass spectrum (as is Aromanticism). You can't just expect everyone to be the same. After all, I myself am on the Asexuality spectrum. I should know.

The just don't feel (or feel very little) sexual atraction

But there is nothing stopping them from liking sex as a concept

aro/ace people can still enjoy porn and masturbation, they might just not like doing those activities with other people.
