If FOXL2 therapy had been available when I was a teenager I'd have been in line at the clinic on Day 1. (I started out as a boy. I'm in recovery.) Asexuality: This makes sense to me. I had a brief, intermittent sex life (from ~ age 26-40) with 4 partners total. Sex was ok, but for me the reality never measured up to the hype, so I stopped. I do appreciate porn as an artistic endeavor, but it doesn't go any farther than that. I like reading mysteries, but I'm not going to murder anyone either. Gender gene: Now they tell us!

For example, do the asexuals orgasm? If so, why wouldn't someone try to repeat the experience? While I can see that someone might not have the complex of physical and psychological feelings that make up arousal, there is a certain mechanical process involved that is at least part of the overall system. How does the one affect the other? The asexuality article raises more questions than it answers. For example, do the asexuals orgasm? If so, why wouldn’t someone try to repeat the experience?

I wonder if there's a genetic switch that flips and cements an internal process that is already in motion.
