I am straight, but I have a story to go with this about what happened to me recently. I went out to a bar with my best friend and his brother like we do sometimes, anyhow they took me to some bar Downtown that I guess has gay nights on specific days of the week. The reason why we went there is because my friend works with a lot of lesbians and they told us to come there. I didn?t know it was gay night and I doubt they did either, so there I was getting drunk and hitting on some girls, it didn?t bother me where we were. About an hour into the whole thing two guys come and sit at our table and start talking to us, I could tell right away that at least one of them was gay, the other one looked straight. Soon enough they start hitting on me, and well they must have been really horny because they were telling me all this stuff how I have never had a real ?bj? unless it was from a guy. They started freaking me out. Oddly enough I realized right there how horny guys were compared to girls, I wish girls were all li:D that :D. Anyhow I left pretty quickly after that. When I got home I felt like crap though it really bothered me that I had guys hitting on me. Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed for some reason.

I know there are a lot of immature people here but maybe you aren't giving enough credit to the mature people that can discuss without getting offended or flaming.

Edit:

You don't seem to understand. It's not about being "insecure" its about keeping an open mind and hearing what other people have to say.

What harm is there in explaining yourself, or listening to someone's point of view? I am not afraid of somebody attacking my views, so I am saying again, I am open to discussing this with anybody, privately if you want, it is all the same to me.

simply, you are entitled to your opinions...as I am. :D

I have to say i disagree with asexuality. These people need to seriously consider whether or not the things and the people they love are worth living for, because if they have nothing to love worth living for, they may as well just fade away.

It seems like a sad way to live. But if you are asexual you still love people, just in a different way, isn't that right?

Right,:/ and you don't think they have some kind of hobbie or craft that they enjoy more than sex?

I believe he was referring to procreation, and starting a family. Who mentioned 'sex?'

So, what should we do about people too old to have kids? What about people who can't have kids? What about adoption? There are plenty of orphans to go around.

... What are you talking about? You can live a very happy life without the desire to have sex with people.

Just FYI: There are a couple different kinds of 'asexuals'. (I really can't stand that word, but since everybody likes to use it i guess i will.)

One kind is being attracted to people romantically but not sexually. In other words, you'll date someone and you'll 'be in love' with someone, but you have absolutely no interest in having sex with anybody.

Another kind is not being attracted to anyone romantically OR sexually. In other words, you're just kind of there. You don't want to date anyone or have sex with anyone. That doesn't mean you're anti-social or a jerk or anything, it just means you're not interested in any of that.

And then the last kind that i know of is not being attracted to anyone AT ALL. That means not romantically, not sexually, and not physically. (By physically i mean that you aren't able to tell when one person is 'hotter' than another person.) The same thing applies, though -- this doesn't mean that you're a jerk, it just means that you don't find one person any more physically attractive than another. I'm pretty sure this is the most extreme form of asexuality and it's very rare to find people like this.

I am personally either the first or second. I've never been in love, so i can't really say whether or not i'm not attracted to people romantically. Maybe it's not possible for me to be attracted to people romantically, or maybe i just haven't found the right person. Hard to say. But i've never wanted to have sex with anybody. I am able to tell when one person is 'hotter' than another one, though, so... guess i could be weirder. <_<

That doesn't mean that i don't 'love' people (like my family). It just means that i haven't ever felt the desire to be 'in love' (or have sex) with someone.

Well Lav maybe you should try and get yourself out there or something you know? meeting new girls or guys whatever.. I mean you can't expect everything to come to you... i mean it might the person of your dreams could suddenly one day be infront of you... but if you never gave it any thought well then obviously.... its a lil harder for something like that to happen to you.

I don't think you get it. I don't feel the need to 'try and get [my]self out there'. I honestly have no impulse to do anything like that. I'm happy the way i am. If i ever do find the person of my dreams, that's great, and i would welcome it, but it would be a totally chance happening. A person goes around 'meeting new girls or guys' because they think that they're lonely and that they need romantic companionship. I don't think either of those things, so why would i go waste my time doing stuff that's totally useless to me? (Not to say that i don't believe in love -- love is a very sacred subject that i believe in completely. I've just never experienced it and i don't plan to any time soon.)

Lav go change your name to 'bog' as you talk utter faeces.

What the Hell is it with people on Neowin who just join a thread and say something totally retarded without explaining their reasoning? You could have just as well said 'u suk lav' or maybe 'haha ur a fartnocker' and that would have been just as intelligent, and probably easier to type.

^ yeah i was gonna say if you feel that you have no need for it, well all the power to ya ;) Its cool not to care like that, i wish i could do that sometimes when i talk to this girl....the only girl that does that to me haha...

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
