Paper and bullpack can go a long way when done correctly... Probably time-consuming and not very compact though. The worst thing to manage is probably small pieces (broken or accessories).

I must say that as an older dude, I totally lost view of the appeal of that junk, especially having so many of it, cluttered on shelves. I guess a good quality figure by itself could be ornemental... But other than that, aren't those the lamest toys ever ? Rigid as all hell and not meant to be handled.

Nah, I can believe those people have no/low sex-drive. I come (pun not intended now that I read that again) from that with experience. But writing an essay to convince people that can't see that because they're "wired normally?"

Query for Username:

If you can accept bisexuality and the premise that people can there's romantic attraction and sexual attraction, why is it hard for you to accept having no sexual attraction in spite of romantic attraction? Many bisexuals feel that they are generally attracted to the different sexes in different ways. You'll see many talk about how they see themselves marrying a man/woman but while they would love to fuck a woman/man they'd never want to pursue a relationship beyond that. If that's the case, why is it hard for you accept that some people don't have sexual attraction but still have feelings of romance and love?

Quite an odd perspective coming from a homosexual. Then again, maybe not. Many gays think bi and trans people are just gay, and you have historically shown when put up against a perspective or world view different than your own, you don't consider them. But that's nothing new at all.

Er-Where are you reading that I don't accept people having no sexual attraction? I'm saying people find that hard to understand because most people are "wired" to WANT sex. It's not that hard for me to understand, it's hard for most to understand.

I just don't think an essay is needed for something that is explained in two sentences: "These people have no desire to have sex. They DO have the desire to love someone and love is a completely different concept for them versus love WITH sex."

I think we also have to not only take the argument into account but where it's being made. Specifically on a video game forum that is full of socially distinguished mentally-challenged young men with draconian views on women. It's not surprising that some of them would give up on sex and attraction, the same way they give up on basic hygiene and alcohol.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #12695 on:** February 06, 2016, 10:51:55 PM »

Well the reason that thread was created in the first place was because there was already a thread about sexuality and your happiness/contentment with it already posted:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1180178

Quote

I am thinking a lot about this lately, and knowing how we're biologically heavily pushed to seek reproduction, I was wondering how big of a place sexuality as a whole has in your life.

A good way to assess this is to ask yourself this question: how would the complete absence of sexual pleasure, but not sexual attraction and libido, effect your life and mental well-being ?

It's the first time I start a thread, so if I made any mistake or if the subject isn't that interesting to you guys, please let me know and I'll ask a mod to take it out.

Edit: To clear things up, I'm talking about being able to have sexual intercourse, but without it giving you any sexual pleasure.
I also add: how would that effect your dating life ?

The bold is what throws a lot of people off in regards to Asexuality. They can't untangle romance from sexual desire because it's the way of the world: Be born, fuck/reproduce, die. Repeat. I don't think making a huge post that most people are going to "TL;DR" solves that hang-up for most of the world.

Though you're right that they're making this post on a video game board where most people probably don't have relationships (

) or sex (

) in general to where those concepts are even more foreign to them than normal.

This ain't exclusive to nerds though.

And the asexual crowd on neogaf doesn't seem like the goober gate or mens activists type of people. They have their own weird shit going on.
