Where's the wanker?

On a recent job application bit I was filling out that "what sort of
'token' are you?" bit - the equal opportunities section.

I got to the sexuality bit and my sexuality wasn't there. I'm an
autosexual. I'm a wanker. I masturbate more than I have sex.

We're not an underrepresented group I guess. There are a lot of
successful wankers. But the category isn't noted. The great sexuality
battle was about hetereonormativity. Autosexuality is a different kettle
of fish all together. There is the autosexual's choice of gender in
their imagination or pornography of course and there are few people who
would honestly say they chose to be autosexual. Much of that may be to
do with the sexual-normative politics that govern straight and gay
sexuality but aren't necessarily the only way of thinking.

THe funny thing is being a wanker isn't illegal and it's not really a
mental illness though excessive masturbation has been noted in some
people with mental illneses. It's a big social taboo to speak about it
because of the social shame but it's not really a bad shame as such..
Virginity may have the same or higher levels of social shame. That
wasn't an option either.

I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
