Antisexuality — this is a certain worldview, a system of views of people who have consciously given up sex. Quite often, such concepts as antisexuality and asexuality are confused. The difference is that people who are asexual are physically unable to have sex, and this has nothing to do with their views. People who promote anti-sexual views are called anti-sexuals or use the term “anti-sex”.
Sex-evil?
Anti-sexuals are a relatively young movement that is widely spread in Russia. The propagandists of this trend compare physical attraction with drug addiction, explaining that when attracted, a person also has a powerful addiction and withdrawal, when sexual energy does not get an outlet.
Sexuality, according to anti-sexuals, brings only harm to a person, destructively affecting his personality, intellect. They cite as an example many famous people who voluntarily gave up sex for the sake of creativity, personal freedom and self-expression. The brightest personalities of his time are Isaac Newton, Emmanuel Kant, Bernard Shaw. The ideas of the denial of sex can be traced in the work of L. Tolstoy “The Kreutzer Sonata”. The theme of the sinfulness of sexual desire is touched upon in John Brain's book The Jealous God.
In the West, ideas of anti-sexualism have become widespread in Japan, where chaste marriages are encouraged and housing is being built with two separate bedrooms for spouses, and also in America, where many centers have been established for the treatment of people from sexual addiction. In China, the idea did not take root, people continue to live according to their usual laws, not limiting themselves in the physical need for sex.
The origins of the fashion trend
Most antisexuals are young people, most often — These are university students, office workers. The founder of this worldview can safely be called Yuri Nesterenko, a native of Russia, who has been living in America since 2010. Nesterenko is one of the founders of the International Anti-Sex Movement.
He considers it necessary to eliminate sex on a global scale and promotes these ideas in his works: “The Time of the Sword”, “Wings” and others. individualistic rationalism.
How to get rid of sexual desire?
In fact, everything is very simple. Control of emotions, special vegetarian diet, exclusion from the diet of stimulating foods such as coffee, chocolate, honey, egg yolks, fish delicacies. Often, sex antagonists resort to decoctions of soothing herbs. It is believed that the longer a person's abstinence, the easier it is to cope with the appearance of lust, the desire gradually weakens. In a year or two, a person may consider himself a winner in the fight against his own desire.
What are the advantages of not having sex?
There are many advantages of sexual abstinence, according to anti-sexualists. First of all, it is the impossibility of an unwanted pregnancy, which girls and women are so afraid of. Sex antagonists may not be afraid of contracting venereal diseases. You can forever get rid of jealousy, vain expectations and fear of sexual failure.
Down with potency and all the problems associated with it! The absence of sex does not at all exclude communication between opposite sexes, there can be romantic friendship between a man and a woman, and if they are spouses, they can even have children. After all, sex is possible between people, but strictly for procreation.
What does the philosophy of antisex lead to
There is an opinion that the antisexual trend arose against the background of the sexual revolution. At a time when active promotion of sex is being carried out on television, in the media and print media, when you can easily find any information on this topic on the World Wide Web and watch an informative video, satiety with this aspect of human existence is ripening in the human mind.
The reverse effect is just a psychological pattern. Intimate life ceases to be a secret, the veils are torn off from it in order to expose it to non-public review and discussion. Despite the fact that the percentage of antisexuals worldwide is no more than 2%, there are fears that this trend will develop in Russia, where the death rate for many years significantly exceeds the birth rate, and the country loses up to a million people every year.
It is terrible to think what disastrous consequences such a worldview and way of life can lead to. Suppression of natural needs will cause a person to want to give vent to their own emotions. Young people who voluntarily give up carnal pleasures are more prone to outbursts of aggression and uncontrollable behavior, as they are deprived of a natural tool for relieving stress. I would like to believe that the philosophy of anti-sexuality will be replaced by the philosophy of love and harmony, in which the main key will be the satisfaction of physical attraction.
