We do not understand asexuality at all

Asexuality serves as a critical lens for deconstructing "compulsory sexuality"—the pervasive, socially constructed assumption that all individuals are inherently sexual and must perform desire to be considered normal. This ideology functions as a mechanism of social control, regulating behavior across all sexualities and often manifesting as acephobia or the medicalization of non-sexual identities. By examining media representations, such as the film *Anora* and the series *Euphoria*, the analysis reveals how sex-obsessed culture frequently masks exploitative power dynamics under the guise of "sex positivity." True solidarity requires moving beyond superficial inclusivity toward a rigorous interrogation of how socialization shapes personal desires. Ultimately, challenging these norms is essential for dismantling broader systems of patriarchal and colonial control, as the refusal to conform to compulsory sexual expectations exposes the fragility of the "normal" standards governing human relationships and political organizing.
