How can someone become asexual?

I don't think it's about not being in love, it's where you have no sexual preference. You're not gay or straight. You not sexually attracted to anything or anyone. It's physical, not emotional. You just can't get horny at all. But of course, if you were asexual you could fall in love. Love isn't related to sex, I don't think anyway. But I suppose it would be hard to have someone in love with you as you love them because they would have sexual needs that need to be fulfilled. It would make a relationship hard, unless whoever you loved was asexual as well, then there'd be no problem at all. I watched this anime (japanese tv show) called Chobits which is on the same sort of topic: Can you have love without giving up your virginity, or having sex? It really made me think if it were possible....

But to answer your original question, I guess to become asexual you'd have to be pretty cut off from the world - you don't socialise much, don't let people touch you: Shake your hand or hug you at all until you just stop feeling with your body. But I dunno, maybe some research could explain it. It might be hereditary, psychological, biological.....who knows.

Can A Person Be Asexual

Well yes, it exists, I know I am asexual. The key thing is, we're not sexually attracted to anyone. We don't want to have sex. Asexual = "not sexual". It's a different kind of aseuxal to that which some species are in asexual reproduction.

However, though there are aromantic asexuals, a lot of us do fall in love and want relationships, just not on a sexual scale.

Only about 1% of all people (adults) are asexual, which is why you don't encounter many. Think of it in the same way as young kids... they're asexual too.

Asexuality does exist and it doesn't mean that they are incapable of love or anything like that. You cannot become asexual, it's something you're born with, just like being gay. They can be in relationships, they just don't want to have sex. Sex does not make you fall in love, you have to be incredibly deluded to believe that that's the only thing keeping people together. What you're thinking of is a sociopath.

Oh, and asexual people can get aroused. It just isn't by anything in particular, usually. Sometimes they watch porn. They just don't want to have sex.

Just like how some straight men have watched gay porn but wouldn't touch a man like that if they were paid to.

The end of the world is not here yet. Asexual means you do not have a way to reproduce offspring. Love has nothing in common with asexual means. Love is spiritual and not physical, although a lot seem to think so, especially when the new wears off and the tools get rusty! Asexual is not a gender associated fixture, you just do not produce, "young-ens!"

Really? Drugs that turn people gay? That's ridiculous. But if you want to be asexual. that's fine. that's your thing. or lack of it. Feel free to do whatever makes you content. But never tell someone in this community that their sexual preference is caused by smoking crack cocaine or methamphetamine. That's just plain ridiculous. I have a difficult time feeling sympathetic towards someone who just doesn't have an iota of common sense. Bigots and Ignorants trying to gain recognition and sympathy by cloaking themselves in the mantle of a person who needs serious psychiatric help really make me upset. Have you ever been to L.A. yourself? I doubt it. But if you ever do go there, ask any of the "transvestites" or "crackheads" you see (if your mind was clear enough to see them) if they are gay because of smoking drugs. I guarantee that at least one of them just might pull a switchblade and try to make you 'asexual'.

well damn i was under the assumption that asexual was the act of reproducing without mating but anyways ill trade you love is nothing but a train-wreck waiting to happen in my life

Asexual means you reproduce by budding or creating your own sperm.

I'm a NON-SEXUAL.

I'm not attracted to men or women, and I don't desire love.

I could fall in love, but I'm not interested.

Non-sexuals don't prefer sex.

Yes, it exists.

Only certain protozoans are considered asexual because they do not have a gender. Human beings are not asexual. You are not tuned on yet, does not mean you will never be.

I have never met a person who hasn't been attracted to or fallen in love with someone.

It just doesn't happen.

There was a mass murderer once, I can't recall the name, he killed some 300 people w/o any remorse in the end but loved his wife deeply and once gave her a gun and an opportunity to shoot him.

It's human nature to be attracted, to want someone and to be loved and anyone who isn't capable of doing so will become a serious threat to society.

If you feel love towards your God/family/siblings then ideally you should be capable of all other forms of love
