Self Love Adventure

[jonnielove]

I am a single male who enjoys everything about being single! I have no interest in women, men, or even transpeople whatsoever. Its just me and that is the way I like it.

Anyway, I would love to see the story of a man who at first has trouble getting serious with other individuals and one day discovers that it is all for the better as he is he begins the journey of a lifetime discovering his sexuality in being single! I would love to see him grow and with each day his life just getting better and better as he explores the inner world within himself.

I'm reminded of an old underground comix story, I think by Ralph Reese, about a loner, in good physical shape, with an office job. His cow-orkers constantly set him up with dates -- that bomb. One sexytary lures him to a supply closet, drops his pants, and blows him -- and he wilts. He's lured to a skinny-dip pool party -- and all the exposed flesh does nothing for him. Then, the mental flashbulb: he realizes he's just not a sexual being. The cow-orkers note that he now seems quietly satisfied and comfortable with himself behind his Sphinx smile.

This is intriguing. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit more in regards to your life? (If it's not too personal, that is.) Did it take you long to discover you preferred not having a sex partner? How did you grow as a person? Do you ever feel lonely for human companionship? Then again, do you have platonic/emotional relationships with people and have only "turned off" the sex?

Obviously, learning a bit more about you (as being someone in this life choice) would help an author write such a character.


Good luck in your search!

Why does this sound like a Lit version of "Inside Out"?

 

[Aella_]

For some reason I love the idea. Among the most original and poetic ones.

I envision the protagonist starting off like some sort of automaton; one that goes about his day-to-day Dull, life(wake up, go to work, go home, go to sleep, and so on… ) in a robotic-like manner. Like most of us do.

The something happens. Maybe triggered by a special alignment in planets or so on.
And he starts to gradually experience new feelings and desires, and to awaken. Or: are they memories?
Maybe his former self used to exist in a different dimension, in a more vibrant and present way, even as a more sexualized being. So by recovering his repressed memories and feelings, he starts to awaken and to connect more with the other -more vibrant- dimension.
Perhaps he even notices that other people have similar experiences … .

I see it also as a metaphor of our existence: being so caught up in our banal existence with it's petty stresses, that we repress the spiritual/or more playful, creative side of our nature. Until something happens (a negative event, existential crises of 'growing old') that shocks us into realising what really matters.

I do not know about the planets but I can tell you that I have had these feelings for over 7 years where I found myself so to speak. One day I was visiting the adult video store and checking out my purchase when it hit me. Why not consider myself as a person to pursue a relationship with. And since then it started out as a thought that grew into a never ending love.

I believe there's actually a term for this phenomenon. It's called asexuality. Do a little google work on it. I think there's a website out there and everything. Saw a documentary about it on the Netflix.

I think there's a difference between asexuality and extreme narcissism, self-love. The asexual does not think about or feel for sex. The extreme narcissist seeks and attains sexual release without bothering to involve others. I believe the term is 'wanker'.

Hypoxia is right.

From Meriam-Webster:

Asexual -
.adjective

: not having or including sex​

Full Definition of asexual:

1: lacking sex or functional sex organs <asexual plants>

2 a : involving or reproducing by reproductive processes (as cell division, spore formation, fission, or budding) that do not involve the union of individuals or gametes <asexual reproduction> <an asexual generation>
..b : produced by asexual reproduction <asexual spores>

3: devoid of sexuality <an asexual relationship>​

Hypoxia is right.

Of course I'm right. I'm always right. Except on off days. But I digress.

I really like the Ralph Reese approach I mentioned above. A fellow is pushed into tryouts by friends and finally realizes he's just not interested. Not in girls, not in boys, not in dogs, not in fleshlights, not in anything, not sexually. He attains gravitas with this realization.

The self-love thang is a whole 'nother schtick. He or she groks their standards are too great for outsiders. Nobody else matches-up to ME. Everyone else is shallow, puerile, distant. Nobody clicks. Nobody else is good enough. Feh.
