When other's favorite bands disbanned on this week I was like well, whatever, but now I can understand, what fans of disbanned bands have been feeling... At first I've thought maybe this is someone's joke and this whole topic is a lie, but... I'll be right in that corner, waiting for their return and listening to their albums.

somewhere out there a single tear is rolling down the girugamesh kid's cheek

omg seriously is this disbandment week or something? 
Stop.

Hello, I more or less identify as aroace, and I am here for this!!
 
As far as personal stories, I wasn't aware of what asexuality and aromanticism were until I was about 21 and didn't start identifying as such until a bit after. Maybe not until earlier this year? (I'm 23.) I'd dated a couple of guys and crushed on a couple of girls (without making a move because both times they were close friends and that's awk), but both relationships ended due to lack of interest on my part, hahaha. I do experience low-level romantic attraction but it's rare and usually short-lived. I have no real desire to date and absolutely zero interest in sex. (Well, I like porn. But I don't masturbate to it or anything; I just find it interesting?? idk. No interest in actually having sex.)
 
I think it's tough to say whether asexual people perceive visual kei differently because asexuality comes in so many different forms. Like I said, despite being asexual, I have an interest in porn and eroticism. I love that Gara of MERRY has so much auto-fellatio imagery in his performances. But I know other asexual people who are repulsed by sex, as well as others like me who are fascinated by it but would never have it.
 
I do find the obsession with rape that some artists have to be distasteful, but I don't think that's due to my asexuality. I didn't have a problem with it until I became more generally conscientious of the way rape is handled in art.
 
And re: objectifying musicians and wanting to bang them, yeah I think that's the normal thought process of allosexuals, lol. The only way in which I think visual kei is different is that visual kei has a massive hookup culture that is pretty well-documented, so instead of just fantasizing about how great it would be to bang their favorite musician, allosexual visual kei fans may regard it as something achievable and make plans to do just that.

maybe learn some new words to get your point across?

Hi there. Though I'm a long ago over twenty, the idea of me as an asexual person crossed my mind when I was about 14-15. I had relationship with boys and girls before, but these weren't sincere - these were mostly out of curiosity. In addition, then I didn't know what love is. All what I've felt was disgust of being touched, kissed and hugged and regret of lying to a person I had been dating with. And then I thought, well, I had tried, ehough of this crap, I'll be alone to the end of my days (and so I'm). Days go by, but I'm happy being alone. Aromantic asexual, that's it. In the near future I'm planning to get a few cats and live with them in peace~

As for the main question, asexuals certainly have different view on visual-kei. This goes to the music and lyrics as well as to the looks and shows bands perform in the stage. Usually I'm not looking on that much, but there're exceptions of course. And I don't fangirl over musicians or their fanservice, too, but I admire a lot of them because of all they've done and continue to do for us. Though, sex in the lyrics doesn't disgust me, there're many kinds of sex in the lyrics. I'm saying that it can be very attractive and beautiful, tender and nice lyric. I like this kind of songs. In the aggressive and bizarre songs about sex there're... also can be exceptions. I like them if they're funny and cheerful.

Also, there're stereotype regarding asexuals. Some people saying or/and thinking that asexuals are ugly, that's why they pretending they're asexual so they can cover lack of popularity, be free and don't date anyone. I don't agree with that. I know people who are asexual and despite of that fact are really beautiful. I don't think I'm ugly either, but I'm asexual. I can do nothing with this. It's so unfair. Because of that most of the time I have to hide my identity from people (in the internet).
