thanks for the responses - definitely think i could be emotionally in love with a person who is asexual, and probably abstain for awhile but not sure how complicated it would get later on. So many facets to love

asexuality is very real and otm does not get recognition (or is lumped in w incel). one of the downsides of the sex positive movement is the ignoring of this subset.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:16 (five years ago) link
there is also a subset of people who do not have sex unless an emotional connection is forged over time - that totally makes sense to me, there is a term but i forget it atm
― transcendental headache (Ross), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:20 (five years ago) link
I don't think it's pansexual? Although that is when you are only attracted to a person, regardless of gender, after you have an emotional connection.

I have a married friend who fears he may be asexual and he brought it up while we were out one night. it was clear others at the table didn't have much experience or knowledge regarding the subject (which tbf, I don't either) as they tried to reassure him that he was probably experiencing a temporary weakened libido, rather than trying to understand why he felt that he was asexual. so he changed subjects when he realized nobody at the table understood what he was saying.

On another topic, for any crime greater than simple assault and less than public mass murder, the US justice system gets the wrong result far more often than it gets the right one. This is true for everything from apprehending and convicting the correct perpetrator to proper sentencing.

Do you have objective evidence for that or is it just *waves hand in direction of prison system*
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 1 August 2018 14:11 (five years ago) link
well a great deal of those cases are resolved via plea bargain resulting in a lesser sentence

Probably most people who are charged with crimes they did ought not be convicted of them, both by the letter of the law and as a matter of justice.

Re: asexuality/queerness, people need to get over the idea that penetrative sex is the only type of intimacy that matters.

Western civilization was built by white men for white men, and its attendant systems of 'justice' are simply a means of alleviating the need for constant force in maintaining those parameters.</trenchant>
(By complete coincidence, 'The Funky Western Civilization' just popped up on my iPod while I was typing. Resonant.)

'Beyond a reasonable doubt' is weird.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 1 August 2018 22:10 (five years ago) link
it is, but what could replace it that would be less weird and say what is required to convict? Doubts can be manufactured out of spider silk and a puff of smoke, but they are on such an attenuated basis that they are not reasonable. You could say "plausible", but that word is too abstruse for most jurors to understand and would not really add any value not contained in "reasonable".
