Not quite though. One can be prude and has sexual attraction to others, and that does not make one asexual. 

That wasn't even what was said.

 

"It can be either slutty, normal, or prude". None of those things imply asexuality.

Then we agree then that asexuality has nothing to do with being prude? Good.

The next sentence following that was "When it's in extreme you call it either nymphomania or asexual," implying that asexuality is an extreme of prudishness when it's not. Nyphomania isn't quite an extreme of "sluttiness" either. Sluttiness and prudishness are description of what a person does whereas nyphomania and asexuality are descriptions of what a person is. Though they are pretty closely associated. While a "slutty asexual" or a "prudish nyphomaniac" can technically exist, they sure do sound like oxymorons.

"Slutty asexual" sounds strange, but I can see one technically existing. "Prudish nymphomaniac" is totally contradictory. If one is a nymphomaniac, then they aren't a prude by definition.

I guess it depends on how you define things. I assumed we were defining "prudish" as the antonym to "slutty," meaning a person who very rarely engages in sexual behavior with others and defining "nyphomaniac" as the opposite of "asexuality," meaning a person who experiences an excessive amount of sexual urges. In that sense, a prudish nyphomaniac could exist since they could have lots of intense sexual urges but for one reason or another doesn't act on them.

Not necessarily. A nympho engages in sex a lot, is essentially addicted to it, that doesn't mean that they have to broadcast it or act in an extremely sexual or outrageous manner all the time. They could be uncomfortable with talking about sexual issues, dressing sexually, seeing sexual content in media and still be a nympho behind closed doors. Some people just consider sex to be a very private act, not something to advertise. A nympho who feels this way is relatively prudish for what most people expect a nympho to be.

I read them. I stand by my interpretation, especially considering you said that you weren't joking.








Yeah, I definitely stand by my response.

Well, okay then..Uhm good for you? I guess ? :/

[AWTEW]

As much as I'd like to sit here and grandstand about having magical powers and being so friggin' good, I'll just be honest instead.
 
With the gay KISA thread.. while the topic of discussion is predominantly about sexual orientation, it also includes ideas about a future character with the knight in shining armour qualities.. I think the people in there are somewhat creative, and BioWare could probably do well to read some of the stuff. After all, characters are of huge importance in these games.
 
It's also about how you convey your posts... I'm not judging you, or being an arse or anything. I haven't read your post, so I couldn't really say. However, people are very sensitive about people commenting on homosexuality, etc. And within good reason, because there are a lot of dickheads around.
 
Now, a gay KISA character is very easy to implement in these games. However, representation of every label and sub-label of sexual orientation... not so much.
 
 

 

 
Well played.

Thank you *bows*
I'd share some of the vodka i got with it, but there is no instant-transmission yet

Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which one feels sexual attraction only after forming an emotional bond.

 

In other words, half of the freakin' population on Earth is demisexual.

 

I think there's nothing bad on "feeling" that way, but as a gay person I cannot but feel that propositions like those does nothing but to make light of the unpleasant situation many gay people experience. And for what? Just for the sake of feeling special, or different?

 

I'll give you a little hint I've learned the hard way: a lot of those people who were born "special" or "different" very often wishes they were born just being "common". Even I'm no exception to that, and that having in mind I've had it relatively easy in my life regarding my sexuality. Being "uncommon" is hard, tough, and if you succeed at being happy despite that then you have the right to feel proud, but what I can assure you without any doubt is that it's not by any means something desirable.

my point was that if you approach sex casually you're being marked as slutty. If it's extreme and you reach the point when you have sex with pretty much anyone (restricted only by your sexual orientation, also doesn't mean that you would have multiple partners at same time or at once) you are marked as nympho. You can't have prude nympho cos it contradicts one another. If you want to have occasional sex as often as possible you hardly reach it when you won't dress provocatively. You can have a single partner but s/he might be just worn off after few months of intensive sexual encounters and it just won't be enough for this nympho person that means, depending on nature, either multiple sex partners, intensive masturbation or break up and searching for new "fresh" partner.

It's also a matter of arousal.  For instance, while plenty of people won't sleep with someone that they have no feelings for, they still get sexually turned on in general.   They see someone very attractive to them, and sometimes get a little aroused in a sexual manner.  A demisexual, while they may appreciate the attractiveness of someone, doesn't get sexually aroused with someone they don't trust/have a deep bond with.

 

A demisexual LI would be a nice contrast to some of the more sexually open characters like Isabela and Iron Bull.  Merrill so far is the closest we've had.

 

 Before you say anything, please don't hiss at me, Hana.  You know I don't like it as more than you do, and I apologize that the writers decided that.   I'm only the messenger, but you've known for almost a year now that I agreed with you her being demisexual in attitude and perspective.

Yep. 

 

It's fine.

Prude, as per Google: a person who is or claims to be easily shocked by matters relating to sex or nudity.

 

Granted, I don't know many people who are nymphomaniacs, but I see none of them behaving in a manner like this. How a person fits into a niche varies from person to person, but a label like this has its own set of "rules" (for lack of a better term) which should be adhered to for the label to have any meaning. If someone is upset, uncomfortable, or shocked by matters relating to sex or nudity, then that person being a nymphomaniac doesn't make sense.

So this is the future....What a meaningfu, in-depth, mature, and necessary conversation.. We are really changing the world.. Here in the Bioware forum>Dragon Age>Dragon Age Inquisition>Feedback and Suggestions.. I weep for my kids...

[Grieving Natashina]

Okay, thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully your boycott campaign goes well.  It seems like you don't like the series much anyhow, so not sure why you felt the need to weep for your imaginary or even real kids.  I mean, you want folks to stop buying EA products anyway.   If you decide to do go through with your own boycott, your kids will be safe.  Promise.

Well, okay then..Uhm good for you? I guess ? :/

 

It's the common sense questions: Who bets $50 on whether someone can troll a forum? It's a no-brainer, so I can't believe anyone would actually give away $50 since trolling a forum is the easiest thing in the world to do. And when would you have made the bet? You were responding to someone who brought up porn, so was this some kind of standing bet? "Hey, if anyone happens to mention porn, and you can trick them into thinking you have a warped view of porn, I'll give you $50!" One minute it's not a joke, then it is a joke, then it's not a joke, then it's a bet, then suddenly it's a joke, again. I'm going to go with Occam's Razor, on this one, and assume crazy with a side of serious issues about sexuality. It's considerably more believable.

 

Or, hey, maybe I just made a $50 bet with the person sitting next to me that if someone randomly back-tracked on an extreme political position that they've previously posted about because they faced almost universal disagreement, that I could convince them that I cared one way or another.

Uhm, okay conspiracy theory much? .I not going to justify what my friend and I do to you. And watch yourself, calling someone crazy, is a personal attack, and that's not okay.

So how about this,

Let it go.

This thread is becoming the new "naked wimminz on top tier items"...

Is that a good thing or bad thing? 

[HuldraDancer]

Is that a good thing or bad thing? 

 

Depends on who you ask and what you mean by 'good'.

[o Ventus]

I don't think anyone in their right mind would say that the "naked women on top tier items" thread was good by any stretch of the imagination, nor would they say the same about any association with it.

 

It's a pretty bad thread. I fail to see how that one gets closed while this one stays open. Then I remember that that thread also made it to 50+ pages before it got closed.
