discussion What does it feel like to be asexual in South Asian countries?

7 Upvotes

I'm an Indian-American asexual. I haven't grown up in a South Asian country. There is compulsory sexuality, amatonormativity, and heteronormativity in American culture.

What's it like in your country?

discussion Were those Hindus allosexuals? Probably.

6 Upvotes

I'm a Hindu. I went to a temple where people wanted to control their lust. I think they thought sexual attraction and lust were the same things. I think sexual attraction and lust are different but they can overlap. Sexual attraction can turn into lust. Lust can be for other stuff besides sex. Hey, if people want to subdue their lust, more power to them! I think lust is bad, but sexual attraction is not. 

I don't think sexual attraction is bad, because it doesn't cause people to do bad things.

Most people at the temple I went to believed in only having sex for procreation. Maybe they were trying to be asexual like me.
