While I don't think it makes sense to call yourself asexual if you still masterbate or participate in or desire sex, I don't really have an issue with this label. I also don't necessarily think something has to be wrong with someone to not have sexual desire tbh. I also don't think it matters if someone feels asexual if it doesn't bother them, it isn't something they'd like to change and/or it isn't impacting their lives negatively.
I honestly think it's significantly weirder when I see some people unnecessarily annoyed with asexual people. Like they're mad someone doesn't want to have sex (usually women). It's weird to be so obsessed with how much someone is or is not fucking. However, I always understand frustration with illogical crap.
I guess for me if I were 'annoyed' by it it would be with someone 'identifying as asexual' to cast oneself as a 'persecuted minority' akin to being homosexual.
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
