I think this discussion comes up in varying forms on this forum, so I saw this and immediately thought about my CDR friends (whom I've not visited in a while):

Asexuals tell their stories – CNN Photos - CNN.com Blogs


Everyone takes something different away, I'm sure, but one takeaway for me is that you really never know someone's story, or what drives their actions. You can never know the sub-text of their life....

If only science could crack the code of what makes these people into asexuals and recreate that in a prescription drug. It would be the solution for millions of miserable men who were simply never meant to be in relationships/dating and finally help them move on with their lives. Some can eventually induce it through a combination of a naturally low sex-drive and sheer mental fortitude, but most simply need that extra chemical boost to make that "leap", so to speak.

I dunno why they are all saying it's so unheard of.

I had an asexual male friend when I was only 20 which is 30 years ago.

He told me about it, and I just accepted it.

He had a lot of female friends and we assumed he was gay until he corrected us. He just wasn't into ANYONE.

Sounds very peaceful - unfortunately I still tend to think with my genitals and they're autistic

So agree with that. Sounds very peaceful. Unfortunately I'm not wired that way either...

An asexual pill may have stop that scumbag from killing all of those people.

What about women who were "never meant to be in a relationship," whatever that means?

No, it wouldn't have.

The vast majority of killers are NOT kissless virgins, so I would appreciate stop being compared to that freak. Thank you very much.

Women don't tend to be controlled by their sex drives as much as men are, the practically nonexistent number of women who do fit that description can easily carry on with their lives as if nothing is amiss. For nearly all of them, however, I suspect that their standards are simply too high and an easy solution exists. For men who fall into that camp, the solution isn't nearly as simple and, in most cases, there is no solution other than to forget about women altogether and focus on other areas of one's life.

Are you a man or a woman? I'm going to guess that you are a man, and that you really don't understand women.

Your right. I apologize. He would've just killed random people instead just like several other mass shooters.
