      Asexuals can have sex… I mean I don’t, but it is an option, we just don’t feel sexual attraction. Edit: so yeah, I guess I will die now. I forgot the point.

        Curious. I’ve got some questions.

        I’m attracted to women, though I like futas too. Men however gross me out when I think of them touching me. Do you feel grossed out at all by the thought of either or both genders touching or having sex with you?

          Yeah, the gross feeling being applied to everyone is a good way to describe being sex repulsed. There are levels to it though (even for non ace people) some people are okay with fantasy but not the real thing, some people are repulsed even by sexual fantasies, and some people are okay with fantasy if they aren’t an actual part of that fantasy.

      Ironically, the article claims the opposite - having sporadic (as opposed to regular or no) sex can trigger an heart attack.

      So just don’t things half way.

    Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.

      Why do you assume they don’t have sex? It doesn’t specify what they need to have sex with…

        Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.

          Well yes, that makes sense and all, but it’s not nearly as fun as saying mojo is directly controlled by heart health. Or that cancer causes cell phones, or that people named Killian cause air bag recalls. They’re obviously wrong and ridiculous, and that’s funny.

    Loneliness kills, if you’re lonely you’re probably having zero sex.

        Performance anxiety and being broke AF prevents me from supporting my local sex workers. Chance of heart attack is through the roof

    Most people dont have heart attacks, so 2.5 times that is not really much.
