    There are too many viagra and viagra look-a-likes in the world.

    Why not create a drug which supresses sexual drive and other sexual hormones - sometimes a person may want to go without sex, something like this can help.

    I would imagine that this would be very easy - just like you induce it, you can reduce it, no?

    If there is/could be, could we give it to our teenaged kids? That way they won't be enticed to act out their hormonal behavior?

    Just cut out all of the media that portrays sex as a "popular" thing. I supress my sexual drive out of will, why would you need drugs to do it for you?

    It's not that I can't control myself... it's just that if I didn't have the constant desire then could cope with not getting any much better.

    Here. This kills any urge in me to have sex and it is completely free.

    asexuality

    why is the absense of a sexual drive a bad thing? I've been what I term "asexual" all my life. it's a "lifestyle preference" like being heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual.

    freefall

    Are you saying that you dont get sexual urges at all? Or you just choose not to pay attention to them?
    Are you a virgin?

    Sorry, I dont really know what "asexual" means.

    no, I don't get sexual urges at all. I'm not a virgin. I don't know how believable that is, but it's true. I've been this way all my life. I've met other people who had become asexual so I know I'm not the only one.
    I just don't get it. *shrug* I mean, people can be attractive, just not sexually. like the part of my body that might react sexually just isn't hardwired to the part of my mind that thinks.

    No shit?
    Have you always been this way? Do you get frustrated alot?

    I had a period of about 4 years that I didnt get aroused at all. I was unhappily married at the time, but I didnt know people could be like that their whole life.

    Question:
    Does it affect your dating/married life negatively, positively or both?

    and do you know what the shame is freefall?

    That people like you might not reproduce as much. It may be healthier to be like you. There maybe 90% less violent crime if everyone was like you. But you will not reproduce to the same extent as others - or am I wrong? How many kids do you have freefall? - My inclination is that you don't have any, and you may never have any - and that may be the real shame. Evolution does not always work in our favor. Sometimes it's the killers, and the sneekiest that reproduce. Don't kill the messenger - it's the sad truth.

    I'm androgenous?

    I'm perfectly happy being asexual. like I said, I've been this way all my life so how could I know to miss anything? I really don't want to have children. being female, that would give my body too much control of me, plus messing it up later. I might adopt later in life if I want to have a child, but I doubt it.
    it's really ironic that I'm this way since I have a facination for genetics and evolution and I will always stand on the outside of it.

    as to a dating/marriage thing I believe that the only reason to marry is to support a child so I'm not planning on marrying. as to relationships .... i relate the same to people just without a sexual bias. people's personalities are based somewhat on their gender and their sexual preference so that must be taken into account when dealing with them, but all my friends are either asexual or bisexual so we're all kind of used to it. my personality is different than ... a usual female but still has some of the basic characteristics.
    well what i'm trying to say is that my relationships with people are kind of different but not entirly different. it all gets kind of confusing and it's hard to categorize.

    *lol* I bet not- with as much as people want sex and go after it, why would they want to not want it rather than to have it?

    I firmly believe that if you get people that are heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual, you also have to get asexual people. Hmm, I can't say I fit in that category though. My sex drive is rather strong. Very strong. I'm 20 and male
