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...

    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
