.
If all the right hormones are there and functioning properly, I can't understand, from a biological standpoint, why the sexual urges would be absent.
Well, it doesn't mean there isn't an explanation, dunno if any research has been done about that, my sister shrink should know or give me sources on that. Part of my skepticism comes from accepting to answer people with "I don't know", instead of postulating hypothesis that might be wrong.
Oh I know. I just figure sex hormones are responsible for sex drive. So if the sex drive is so low to where the person doesn't even feel sexual attraction to anyone, it makes sense on paper that it could be influenced by an imbalance or deficiency of sex hormones. But i wouldn't rule out other causes, whatever they may be. It's just a guess.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
