Why does the common norm say people don't have sex?
Do you mean the common sayings like 'people don't have as much sex as they'd like' or people saying they 'haven't had sex for ages' or even 'people stop having sex once they have kids'? Those kind of comments aren't meant to describe everyone.
Is it possible you're taking those kind of comments at face value? Some people may have never had sex, some may have had sex with a lot of people - but no one says that people don't have sex. They may say things that sound like that or say that about some people - but not as something to describe everyone.
Society itself says so.
I can be irrational sometimes. People do say that nobody has sex.
Just thought I'd bring some clarity to this... at least, that's what I think Kira meant.

"No-one has sex"
"There is no spoon"
"Freddie Starr ate my hampster"
"Elvis is alive and well in a small semi just south of Dundee"
Thats what I think when you look at some of the other posts that make perfect sense.
I realise people may find it difficult to understand but if someone does have problems associated with ASD's then they may have trouble understanding concepts, that people blessed with a more normal or typical brain structure will have no problems with. That doesn't mean they'll have a consistent lack of understanding around all things.
If someone is saying they have problems understanding sayings and phrases and expressing them then that seems to be perfectly in keeping with what Kira has been posting.
Whilst that's likely to be frustrating for people it's exactly why people with hidden disabilities can be bullied and discriminated against. I rather hope that people who chose to use this website could try to understand that rather than using it as a way to perpetuate the same kind of misunderstandings or discrimination someone might experience elsewhere.
There's a huge difference between understanding social concepts, turns of phrase or political situations. For most people it's pretty normal to understand all of those things to a fairly average level, for other people it can be difficult to express that.
However everyone has a right to express themselves on this website and people have a right to express when they find what other people say is difficult. That doesn't mean it's okay to start persecuting someone for not being as lucky as you.
NO NO NO *sticks index fingers in both ears* LALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
I've heard it. Even fingers in ears didn't help the way they were going at it (drunk, and forgot I had been babysitting) I ended up slamming my door really loud, just to remind them I was there, and not making eye contact for a week....
what problem?
People in society do say that people don't have sex.
I think that I, as well as most of the rest of us, haven't heard this before, at least not in a literal sense
It may well be that you have difficulty expressing yourself, but Jim and others have gone to great lengths to try and interpret your repeated assertions that "society says people don't have sex". I would, by now, have expected you to respond to their helpful suggestions. Simply repeating the same, frankly, meaningless phrase without putting it into context is not advancing this discussion and there must be a limit to how long "people" will continue to indulge you.
I can't help it, I can be complex and contradictory sometimes. :yes:
Id say persons generally do have sex, hence there is 6 billion plus people on the planet.
it's a common sentiment.
If you say so...
Is it bollocks. I have never heard anyone say that ever.
