Do you know any asexuals?

It's called the Invisible Orientation. It's estimated that only about 1% of the population identifies as such. I've never met any in person that I'm aware of. Not that it particularly matters, but it goes to show how uncommon it is. You kinda feel like a unicorn sometimes.

I don't understand why people endlessly post about sexual identity or expression they don't have or aren't personally familiar with.

I know two asexuals and don't understand it.

I think it’s because everyone is doing it. It started with a few people who felt it necessary to be understood and now everyone does it to follow along. @GoldenWorm

@GoldenWorm People don't understand homosexuality either. Doesn't make it any less valid

@TinyViolins and those people should refrain from commenting on it.

Commenting on what? Why can’t we comment? @GoldenWorm

@Spoiledbrat People wanting to understand are ok. But that's a minority of the sexuality relayed posts. Most are not so thinly disguised ways to belittle people for alternative sexualites, or holding them up for ridicule.

I wouldn’t belittle anyone. @GoldenWorm

@Spoiledbrat I'm not speaking of you indirectly but rather in general about multiple posters.
