[Clemenza]

We are ALL oriented one way or the other sexually. There is NO SUCH THING as an "asexual" human being.

Actually, there are asexual people. In my own experience, I've met a few women who fit this description to a T. My husband has also known a few men who were most likely asexual. They seemed somewhat effeminate, but definitely were not gay. They also weren't interested in women - they just weren't interested in sex period. It's a very real phenomenon.

There is no way that you,Clemenza,have the knowledge/facts to make an "absolute" statement like that. When you,and others,make such unfounded pronouncements you impede your own and others pursuit of Truth.

In our egalitarian new world it is often accepted that every one has the right to their opinion and further,that all these opinions have equal status in the market place. Fortunately that is not true but unfortunately,most people don't realize that. The fact is,only those opinions based on facts and knowledge,in other words truth,have any value.

I,on the other hand cannot state that "there are many who are asexual". Nonetheless,I think it is an issue worth studying.The answer might shine much light on an several important matters in the Church and in society.
