Abstaining from sex isn't that hard...

It becomes much more difficult when people try to make it mandatory. I want to do everything anyone tells me not to do.

Abstaining from sex isn't that hard...

But can life still feel like it is worth living. True, you don't die in the way that you do if you abstain from eating food, but do you really want to live without sex?

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's definitely a quality of life issue.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

I've had sex, and I hated it. I wish I had never done it. And being the benefit of the doubt person that I am, I tried multiple times before I finally decided that I definitely did not ever wanted to do it ever again.

And I do kind of like living. Most of the time.

I feel like you're expecting your personal experience to stand as the bar for everyone else. Please tell me that you recognize how ridiculous that is?

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

Of course I realize that. I wasn't even being serious.

You asked me if I could enjoy life without sex, and I answered you.

[spamwarrior.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

You asked me if I really wanted to live without sex. My answer is yes, yes I do. I prefer life without sex, actually.

If you didn't mean "you" literally, then I apologize. I understand that most people like sex for some reason I don't understand.

[spamwarrior.livejournal.com]

No, I mean I wasn't the person that asked if you would prefer to live without sex.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

Duh. Usernames matter. My bad.

Let all the asexual people in the room stand up and say yes, yes we do.

even the teenage me knows that is wrong

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

I'm a teenager too. What's your point?

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

that may explain alot.

as some say: it gets better. (both life in general, and sex in particular)

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

Nah, I just don't like being poked, prodded or probed by anything or anyone.

It got less painful, but it never got better.

[atheistkathleen.livejournal.com]

that abstaining from sex IS hard

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

It depends on the individual.

I wasn't really being serious when I said it. IDGAF whether someone has (consensual) sex or not if I'm not involved.

Putting aside the individual case of senshifan, this would seem to vary a lot by individual persons.

Obviously, abstaining from sex is not likely to be hard for an asexual person.

Even excluding asexual persons, the strength of people's sex drive is variable.
