I expanded the article to include a bit more background info and also removed the offensive remarks at the bottom of the page that went unnoticed. 83.100.168.35 (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Most people aren't asexual"[change source]

I can't help but notice the remark at the bottom of the page saying: "Most people aren't asexual. Most people are Heterosexual, and some are Homosexual, or Bisexual. However, some people who are antisexual may be asexual. Many asexuals face discrimination and are often ridiculed by other sexual groups." Are ANY people asexual? I mean, plants (and probably some animals) might be, but I don't think any actual people are asexual and therefore, due to not being real, do not face discrimination. And the whole antisexual = asexual seems ludicrous. Can anybody prove to me that there are asexual people, or, more likely, that I'm misinterpreting the sentence? If I am misinterpreting it, it needs to be changed to be clearer. Harry Blue5 (talk) 22:24, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upon some rereading, I understand now the meaning (I'm used to asexual meaning a animal that mates with itself, needing no sexual partner). However the antisexual = asexual still should be moved, unless someone has proof to support this. Harry Blue5 (talk) 22:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some people say that they are not sexually attracted to anyone or anything and identify as asexual. The text doesn't say that antisexual equals asexual. It might have back at the time of your comments. But right now it says that some antisexual people may be asexual. There are definitely some asexual people who have expressed the same views as some antisexual people. I altered the article's text to this.[1] I used "identify" for "heterosexual" because no one knows if most people are heterosexual. I thought about using "some," but it is true that most people identify as heterosexual. 217.147.94.149 (talk) 00:08, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
