I'm sexual and It's awesome.

I was reading this article* at jezebel.com about this girl who is 'asexual' and about how awesome it is and how she has all these great intimate relationships and how they're so awesome and then I saw a link on the side-bar about a dubstep cat and I immediately lost all interest I had in hearing said girl's tale of woe about not being respected as an 'asexual.' For serious, dubstep cat is the greatest thing ever btw. Check him out: DUB-STEP! Cat yo!.

For some reason this seems to be a hot topic lately, it even made it to an episode of House which I consider to be the epitome of the medical frontier. Asexuality, not dubstep. Although dubstep does seem to be quite popular these days...

Look, I don't care if you're asexual. Exactly like I don't care if you're heterosexual or homosexual or trisexual or whatever-sexual you want to be just as long as you shut the hell up and quit bitching about it. You, as an asexual, cannot even bitch about not being able to get married because you're aromantic and don't want to be married so exactly what are you complaining about?

Oh, you're complaining because people ask you if you have 'someone special' in your life? You're whining because people actually care enough about you to inquire as to your happiness? Aaaaand they're nice enough to not assign a gender to it. Should we just look at you from now and say: 'Gee Connie are you non-suidicidal today?' Count your lucky stars that you're mother doesn't take you down the kitchen accessories aisle in every store and gesture no-so-surreptitiously to the turkey basters and wink at you because even she now assumes you've got no chance in hell of scoring a significant other. According to you, you have a significant other. According to you, it's awesome being asexual. Why do you feel the need to write about it and prove it to people?

(I'm going to leave out my theories on your gender identity issues since you abbreviate your name to initials only. Not there is an issue with that. Own it, I say. Say it loud: I'm confused and I may be proud?!)

You've got a vagina, might as well use it right? Never mind that whole biological imperative business where we as human being, nay animals, have a biological imperative to procreate. Hell, even the plants have sex. It's the burden of being a higher order organism. Let us all shake our fists angrily at evolution and its need to introduce genetic diversity through this clever mechanism!

I think your general displeasure with the societal acceptance of being 'Ace', which is about the lamest pseudonym I've ever heard in my life by the way, is your general displeasure with life. Okay, you're best friends forever with a couple of people and you don't bone. You know what? The next time I get the urge to have sex, I'll think about you and feel sorry for you that you can't appreciate the richness that sexual activity lends to a relationship.

Congratulations on being asexual and owning it and willing to advocate for it.

I'm sexual and it's way awesomer than you remember. 

*Here is the article if you want to read it for yourself. If you can get through this entire article without being distracted by dubstep cat you're clearly a psychopath.

  1. What about tri-a-sexual? That's where you are attracted to heterosexuals, homosexuals and asexuals but you don't want to have sex with any of them. I think. To be fair I've been watching dubstep cat now for eight hours straight, so I'm kind of out of it.

    1. Dubstep is hypnotic, yes? And to be honest, as long as you aren't front of my door screwing a donkey I don't care what you do in your free time. I just can't stand when people whine about useless shit.

  2. yeah there has been a lot of stuff re asexuals lately - what's that about? So how do plants have sex, does it involve bees and do they enjoy it? Are you doing OK - for some reason the comments section on your blog has jammed so thanks for all the comments. I was meaning to reply to one but have forgot what it was now.

    1. I'm not sure what the asexual revolution is about. I'm not sure I'm convinced of it's validity as of yet. Some plants do use pollinators and some actually do it to themselves because they've got parts! EEEK! I'm hanging in there, thanks for asking. Life has been stressful lately and I just haven't felt the funneh seeping through. I'm hoping to correct that though. (:

  3. I had a choice to make: dubstep cat or article. I went with the cat, and I do not regret my decision.

    1. The only reason I actually finished the article was because I felt bad criticizing it without reading the entire thing. I pretty much got to dubstep cat and quit. That cat is mesmerizing.
