Few people touch on religion and asexuality, and those who do often assume that Asexuals deal with fewer problems when it comes to following their faith than their sexual counterparts. A Christian Today blogger echoed this sentiment, but he does not condemn anyone for their sexuality.

However, the assumption remains that no asexual possesses any form of romantic desire.

America may be hypersexualized, but this seems to have nothing to do with the availability of the Plan B contraception pill. Both sides of the issue seem to miss an important point when it comes to such medication.

Local municipalities have already placed limitations on certain over-the-counter medications that are too dangerous to be made available without restrictions. Sudafed and the generic decongestants are often sold behind the counter in an attempt to limit the production of methamphetamines. The Plan B pill, which Pro-Life groups call an abortion pill, prevents conception if taken within a certain amount of time after intercourse.

Allen Frances, head of the DSM-IV task force, continues his criticism of the DSM-5 in a recent Wired column. He has been one of the most vocal critics of the new edition of the psychiatric Bible. The newest recent criticism echoes a complaint made by the British Psychological Society. Frances believes the new edition of the book is exactly what the pharmaceutical companies wanted it to be. Decreased diagnostic criteria for certain illnesses are likely to increase the number of people on prescription psychotropic medications. Frances levied a criticism alternative medical practitioners have made against standard medical doctors for years.

CNN columnist and sexuality educator Ian Kerner asked if younger people are more likely to identify as asexual, although he included the group as an afterthought. The article quotes Anthony F. Bogaert's one percent statistic.
Kerner quotes several sex educators who feel that LGBT does not reflect the current reality of the number of people who identify as non-heteronormative.
