As a heterosexual male who is well past my prime, the accompanying loss in libido has been enlightening. I no longer tend to objectify pretty women as much. When I see hot women I feel only a fading echo of the misogyny infused sex drive that has been a constant since puberty. I’d be lying if I said there isn’t a part of me that misses my libido, but it is a dying part of me and I suspect before long I won’t remember what it was like to be aroused. To be clear, I’m in otherwise good health as fas as I know with adequate exercise.

It’s obvious to me, if ever there was any doubt, that testosterone is the root of evil, at least for heterosexual men. I know that low libido is not the same thing as asexuality but it does feel asexual-adjacent. This sub has already diagnosed me as aromantic, so being aro-ace is like the pinnacle of perfection. Soon I will be perfect.
