In Barfi, was Jhilmil mature enough to give consent for sex? - Page 2

I mean if we are fully stretching everything to its logical conclusion, Neurotypical individuals making assumptions about the sexual drive and consent of a woman with autism seems demeaning. 🤓

Love and relationships don't need sex but we all have sexual urges except asexual people (sorry for not taking them into consideration). But I'm not aphobic. You take that back.

Also there was no hint of Barfi being asexual in the movie, so if I don't consider him one, that's my choice and interpretation.

I am not calling you aphobic but the last sentences you wrote one ..

Sorry, you can't take each and every person into consideration while writing something that's true for people in general. Asexuals are rare exceptions, and love includes sexual attraction for 99% of people.

Unless it is expressly shown that Barfi was asexual, we cannot assume that way.

who said 99% of people feels sexual attraction ?? you do realise there’s a whole spectrum of asexuality and sometimes people are not even out as asexuals ?!

Also barfi is a fiction work and one can hc them as asexuals ..

Here we go again 😆

Also, for girls.. it’s especially difficult because they get periods. Many parents get the ovaries taken out because they can’t manage periods.

Asexual log really mein hote hai kya?

also love and sex are two very different things ..

@bold : that’s aphobic .. relationship isn’t always about sex and if one of the partner or both of them are asexuals than yes they can go on without having sex ...

I agree with you that relationships aren’t always or completely about sex. Sex is just a part of it. So if you love someone, and can’t have sex for any reason - an accident, some illness or whatever reason would you leave that person, some have a condition where sex is extremely painful and can’t have sex (can’t remember name of the illness). After some years, when people start to age, sexually people decline in their urges and after a point don’t have sex at all, so there are things more important in a relationship.

Some will disagree because for them sex is the most important aspect and they can’t compromise on it.

That's majboori, stress, lack of time/energy... that's not asexuality.

Ya.. but some don’t like and don’t want to do it. Not lack of time or stress. Maybe be less hormones?
