From yesterday. Your comment about how ‘nature’ designed sex to be one or the other and all else is culture demonstrates how few people are aware of both medical and scientific evidence to the contrary. One in every 1000 males born in the US have Klinefelter syndrome, in which the male has two X chromosomes.

.

Some men never show the characteristics of this, but for those who do, it becomes apparent at puberty when they expected onset of ‘maturity’ in the male organ doesn’t appear. Men with the XXY chromosome generally don’t have a lot of body hair, may have enlarged breasts and wide hips, have small testicles and voices that don’t deepen. They usually can’t father children.

Obviously, it’s not all about procreation. Plenty of people are sterile naturally. There’s no design; when you have seven billion people, there is going to be a lot of variation. And nobody I know who’s straight, myself included, ever remembers making a “choice”.

Far from it.

If I could’ve been asexual, I would’ve been asexual.

Women are extremely distracting.

Even Jackie Cooper in the First Grade was extremely distracting.

Very pretty distraction, but took my mind off my preferred studies.

(Not even counting the fact girls got cooties.)
