===Allosexuality vs demisexuality=== | ===Allosexuality vs demisexuality=== | ||
Human sexuality has the two major inclinations of allosexuality and demisexuality. The former is the more roughneck of the two that is more focused on sex, whilst the latter combines emotional attachment to sex. According to Jenni Skyler, (Ph.D sexologist), demisexuality is a primarily female trait.<ref>https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19900341/demisexuality-meaning/</ref> | Human sexuality has the two major inclinations of allosexuality and demisexuality.

===Coccyx fallacy=== | |||
Overall, the [[coccyx fallaxy]] discusses the trope, which isn't uncommon, that sex is dispensable, nad that sex isn't a right. | |||
There are many people who believe that sex is dispensable, although these same people are aware that using the term "dispensable" itself is unlikely to garner sympathy, as it seems too tactless and forthright. As such, these people use less blunt terminology to convey their thoughts. Instead they'll use idioms such as "noone has a right to sex", "sex is a privilege", "you won't die if you don't have sex", or "so what if you're having a dry spell, get over it". | |||
But what do most of these people who use such euphemistic terminology which in essence amounts to "sex is dispensable" have in common? Whenever you read the blogs, newspaper columns, forum threads or vlogs of such people, they are almost always without exception female. These female journalists/writers never actually convey that they're female and purport to speak on behalf of humanity in general, i.e. for both sexes. If society was less obsessed with the "gender is a social construct" trope, or "the fairer sex and the sterner sex are the same" trope, then the discrepancy between the libidos of males and females might be less controversial. | |||
Test for yourself. The next time you see someone trivializing the notion of sexual inactivity, check out the author's profile, handle, or pen-name. It is almost always a feminine name. | |||
