I don’t really understand these dipshits. The older I get the more tolerant of others outlook on life I get. I might not agree but I don’t have to trash them to make myself feel better. I certainly don’t begrudge them their own preferences. Perhaps one reason for this is that I have become asexual. Or chaste to use a really old term for not interested.
I don’t know that asexual is really the same as chaste, because chaste implies you’re using some sort of willpower to avoid sex rather than just not wanting to have sex. Either, in my opinion, is a fine way to live your life, but they’re not really the same. I wouldn’t say that all nuns are asexual, but all nuns are supposed to be chaste.
In the past terms like ‘chaste’ ‘innocent’ and the like, were used to describe people who seemed to naturally not be interested in sexual things rather than someone who was restraining themselves. Sexual repression really wasn’t a concept until very recently, and in the past people would day Zealous, or similar terms for someone more actively fighting against their natural desires.
Its the closest thing you can come up with from the past. I think they are the same. Especially in this world. You don’t have to expend any will in this world to be chaste or asexual. Its not like anyone you would want is going to come chasing you.
You’re just growing as a person, continuously. Many people stop growing, settling into rigid ideals and reacting with hostility to pressure against those ideals.
All these people seem to be in decline as well. I suspect their egos can’t handle it and they resort to weird distorted conservatism so they can blame others for their fall from grace.
I refer to myself as kinda sexual, I guess the kids are calling it graysexual these days, I never thought to use “chaste”, but that’s a good descriptor. I used to always say that I’m just a prude, lol
Oh to be sure I find women attractive and I could see myself under certain circumstances being in a relationship again but I’m fine just like I am. I wouldn’t ever consider it for the sake of just having sex. It would have to be with someone who accepts me flaws and all and I of course would have to feel the same about them. Not likely where I live in the world today.

Sorry, responded to the wrong person.

IMHO your sexuality isn’t driving your tolerance.
