One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    I’m on the far end of this spectrum, and I’d argue that there’s definitely something wrong with me, but it’s a curious issue in the sense that it only affects me negatively when someone else is bothered by it. You don’t really miss sex when you have no desire for it. It’s actually kind of a superpower too at times. I feel more free than many of my peers whose minds are constantly occupied with chasing sex.

      As desires go, it certainly takes up an awful lot of time and energy that can be put to other uses.
