Reply to comment by cremaster2 in Why did the Asexual orgy not work out? by Sufficient_Focus

You know how some people really love pizza? Now imagine someone who doesn’t especially care for it. It’s basically that.

I understand the theory. Maybe I explained myself poorly.

I wasn’t trying to explain what asexuality was in theory. I was offering an easy way to understand why asexual people are that way. They’re just not into pizza, so to speak. A lot of us love it and find it hard to believe someone doesn’t, but well, there are plenty of things that we don’t like that others are apparently crazy for, so it’s a lot like that.

Yes I understand. I also think you made a good point. Mostly I can kinda feel others sexual orientation, and understandit that way. Even if I'm not into it myself. My brother has been asexual for some years now. I do understand it in theory but not emotionally.

If that makes sense.

Well, I’d be hard-pressed to think of any way of thinking different from my own that I genuinely understand beyond a basic intellectual level, so you’re not alone. I don’t think it’s necessary to understand it further than that, just so long as you don’t try to pressure people not to be themselves just because you don’t get them.
