Asexuality Is Finally Breaking Free from Medical Stigma

lemmy.world/post/10779171

lemmy.worldAsexuality Is Finally Breaking Free from Medical Stigma - Lemmy.WorldNew research on asexuality shows why it’s so important for doctors and therapists to distinguish between episodes of low libido and a consistent lack of sexual attraction … Over the past two decades psychological studies have shown that asexuality should be classified not as a disorder but as a stable sexual orientation akin to homosexuality or heterosexuality. Both cultural awareness and clinical medicine have been slow to catch on. It’s only recently that academic researchers have begun to look at asexuality not as an indicator of health problems but as a legitimate, underexplored way of being human. In biology, the word “asexual” typically gets used in reference to species that reproduce without sex, such as bacteria and aphids. But in some species that do require mating to have offspring, such as sheep and rodents, scientists have observed individuals that don’t appear driven to engage in the act.

If you do not pass down YOUR genes (inb4 muh siblings muh cousins), you have failed biologically speaking. This is the truth and no amount of excuses can change this. YOUR line ends here. Your siblings or cousins might pass down some similar parts of your genome, but they are not you. Maybe if you have an identical twin who have children, then you can say this is not true. The purpose of life is to make more life. This is a fact.

@Chickenstalker @MicroWave So I guess most ants are biological failures then, since they don't reproduce. Funny how they're so abundant to the point that their aggregate biomass rivals that of our own.
