I agree with this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_L...uman_sexualityWhile a proponent of antisexualism, he has become one of the founders of the International Antisexual Movement (IAM). The IAM is consciously and purposely orientated on liquidating the sexual relations throughout the world. It was Yuri Nesterenko who established the first Antisexual Society in Russia (1995) Since then, he has taken a leading role in the IAM. The main venue of the society is the “Anti-sexual Stronghold” website created by Nesterenko. The group accepts the minimum amount of sexual activity necessary to maintain population, but the founder hasn’t updated it in quite awhile.
Far from being a religious bigot, Nesterenko is an atheist and does not speak in the name of religious belief in the supernatural virtue of chastity. He aspires to base his antisexualism on rational arguments rather than authoritarian, theistic thinking. According to him, sexual drive is tantamount to drug addiction because a common addictive element is present in the two behaviours, the only difference being in the formation of psychoactive substances within an addict’s organism itself. Nesterenko calls upon every man to make use of his own reason and to see that it is necessary to reject sexual relations. Any sex other than that strictly for reproduction places animal passions over the development of the highest powers man possesses. That is why Nesterenko opposes it. He is not opposed to all emotions. There is nothing bad in feeling satisfaction by a well-done job, artwork, intellectual communication. But emotions that originate in primitive instincts and fog the mind really must not exist.
Yu. L. Nesterenko’s attitude to David Jay presents special interest. His own ideas had already been formed in the main when AVEN's website was launched in 2002. On the whole he highly appreciates Jay’s work, ascribing to him the credit of having set forth with the idea that sexual indifference is not in need of medical treatment. Later, however, there began to be serious disagreements. Nesterenko’s stance is, first of all, much more radical than Jay’s. When comparing the IAM and asexual people, Russian journalists give particular emphasis to the difference that the ideological position of the IAM’s leader is militantly antisexual. Nesterenko not only considers asexuality a normal state, but also condemns all the forms of hedonistic sexual activity. In contrast to a conciliatory character of AVEN’s attitude to the LGBT community, Nesterenko’s efforts as an antisexual ideologist are not directed to looking for a fourth way between the three sexual orientations, viz., heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. He stresses in every way possible that the IAM is not a new variety of sexual minorities just as anti-fascists do not constitute a particular stream in fascism. When asked the question "But you’re a minority, aren’t you?" Nesterenko said: "If we take a psychiatric hospital, we find that medical staff is a minority there, too."
