Out of the closet: the asexuals

“Do Asexuals have its harder then LGBT’s?” Asking QUEERTY.com analyzing the new sexual class appearance on its way out of the closet. Men and women who simply have zero interest in sexual relations. Asexuals still have romantic relationships. Just no sex. They are not looking for “special rights,” just “respect in a sex-obsessed culture,” notes the SF Chronicle. But men and women who have no sexual desire do have an umbrella organization, as all demographics do. It’s called the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), founded nine years ago by 27-year-old grad student David Jay.

AVEN community purpose declares association of asexuals and people close to asexuals on attitude. Some believe that asexuality gets under definition of sexual frustration. Like Johns Hopkins University’s director of the Center for Sexual Health and Medicine, Dr. Leonard R. Derogatis, saying things like: “Sex is a natural drive, as natural as the drive for sustenance and water to survive. It’s a little difficult to judge these folks as normal.” So we came to question “Who has it the hardest in life?” When it comes to LGBTs, gays and lesbians get off the easiest,”mainstream” society is starting to accept them. A group of people who have none sexual identity can have many complexities.
