Absexual.

I like this term! Not to be confused with "asexual".

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absexual

Absexual is a neologism introduced by Carol Queen (...)Based on its prefix ab-, it describes a form of sexuality where someone is stimulated by moving away from sexuality. An example would be a person who promotes abstinence fervently while getting excited by that, or also through contradictory behaviour where they act in the opposite way in private, contrary to what they promote publicly. In this way, absexuality can be described as a sex-related subset of reaction formation.

(...)

The term was first used in Queen's "Dirty Pictures, Heavy Breathing, Moral Outrage, and the New Absexuality," which appears in her Real Live Nude Girl anthology:[2]

“ These disparate anti-porn, anti-gay activists unite in the particular form their relationship to sexuality takes.… Their voyeuristic, judgemental peeping on other forms of sex is, in fact, these peoples' sexual orientation. ”

Betty Dodson defined the term as describing "folks who get off complaining about sex and trying to censor porn."

I'm going to remember that and use it often!

Re: Absexual.

I'm gonna run a porn site for Absexuals where all the porn is computer generated but looks real and they can post in the forum and complain for free, then posing as one of the posters I'll run a campaign to have the site banned that they can donate too

Re: Absexual.

Because you couldn't really have real people on the end of all that abuse, people might think they could do it for the money but the campaign to have my own site banned is gonna be long and very expensive and they just wouldn't last the course without wearing down.
