Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

people would have lots more free time, instead of looking for ways to fulfill themselves sexually.

As an asexual, I can tell you that unfortunately that's not the case. I suck at life, procrastrinate most of the free time I have and I've never really felt like it's any kind of an advantage that I don't have to deal with it, as far as "being more accomplished" is considered.

But I agree on your other points. I have amazing relationships with other people of both genders, because it turns out that it's really a lot easier to make friends when you don't need to fight the urge to bone them, or have an ulterior motives.
