Asexuality
From the view point of someone who identifies as being a heterosexual asexual this explanation puts it eloquently. Some people liken asexuality to celibacy but it’s not quite the same. Celibacy is about resisting the urge asexuality literally means those of us who identify as that do not have the urge nor desire to forge a way into romantic or sexual relationships. It just doesn’t interest those of us who are asexual. Relationships take a good amount of time and effort that people like myself place into other aspects of life that are productive and are long term of what is desired out of life, what we want life to look like for us because in my life experience at least I am making up for lost as well as stolen time. As Maxine Waters refers to this happenstance of Reclaiming My Time because in all honesty there has been a great deal taken from me as far as what I wanted had worked towards in life the last roughly 10 to 15 years that not only wasn’t right at all but entirely unjust. NOT involving any kind of relationship because to go slightly off topic no one that is truly yours can be taken period. If you’re paranoid about “losing” them then chances are they probably aren’t really yours. I tell it to particularly industry females or wannabe ones all of the time if you are “with” someone that always has a wandering eye then they really don’t love you they want to have their cake and to eat it too. That’s what they want out of life that’s their prerogative just like what people who have committed themselves to asexuality or even celibacy want out of ours. It takes a great deal of energy to reciprocate in those type of relationships so if you are among those putting time, energy, and focus into what is desired in life you really don’t have time nor energy for the other. Hey if I’m near 40 or older and don’t not get married until then so be it. For awhile I’m doing what I want in life and deserve to finally have, to be entirely unabashed about it. For me it’s apart of taking my life and time back or rather reclaiming my life as well as time that’s no one else’s business but mine and the God I serve.
