Antisexual

Reasons for Antisexualism

The Antisexualist movement is a movement where people unite in groups to support each other, discuss and promote antisexualism as a way of life. Antisexuals are not necessarily asexual, but the reasons for their antisexuality are based on their reasoning or morals. Some of the arguments for the antisexual position include:

• Sexuality can complicate relationships
• Sex may be incompatible with intimacy
• Sexual desire can cause people to place primitive instinct ahead of intellect (people across the world continue to have unsafe casual sex despite their awareness of the dangers of STDs, as just one example)
• Sexuality asserts itself in the human mind by releasing neurochemicals comparable to addictive drugs into the brain
• Sexual desire can cause people to lie and cheat in the pursuit of sexual relationships
• Sexuality can lead to discrimination, based on perceptions of sexual immorality and intolerance of certain sexual preferences
• Sexual desires could be false assumptions that are foisted on you by society, hence you may need to look at how your sexuality is ideologically and institutionally constructed.
• Sexuality makes no sense because it is too complicated for its functions; the variety of orientations, kinks, fetishes, and especially destructive variations like sadism, polygamy, and unsafe sex, make human sexuality seem too bewildering to be practical.
• Some antisexualists make no distinction between consent and coercion, seeing sex as a means of oppression.
• Some antisexualists see a link between unrestricted reproduction, resource depletion and environmental decay. This is a position ideologically connected to deep ecology and what some call "ecofascism".
• Some antisexualists argue motherhood is a construct used to subjugate women, hence they oppose procreation. This is also an argument with pro-celibacy advocates.
• The relentless pursuit of sex may be nihilistic
