WELLINGTON (AFP) - They say you are what you eat, and growing numbers of vegans are shunning sex with meat-eaters because they see them as "a graveyard for animals", a New Zealand researcher says.

These vegans not only refuse to eat meat or animal products but refuse to have sexual contact with meat-eaters because their bodies are made up of dead animals, the researcher was reported saying in The Press newspaper on Tuesday.

Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre of Human and Animal Studies at New Zealand's Canterbury University, said she coined the term vegansexuals during her research.

She discovered the vegansexuals while interviewing 157 vegetarians and ethical consumers for a study.

"It's a whole new thing -- I have not come across it before," said Potts.

One vegan said while she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them.

"I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance," she said!............ My reason for posting this topic is to find out what people think about what the differences in Vegan,vegetarian and meat eaters are as well as oppinions on the health benefits and draw backs from these different dietary beliefs My first question is don,t we all carry the DNA of our meat eating ansestors? 2nd I recall an artical i read somewher that states if man wouldn,t have resorted to eating meat our brains would never have grown big enough to give us the ability to advance as we did,because of plants lacked the protein to develope our brains as well as meat! What are your thoughts on this?

Vegans are crap at sex anyway.
After all they don't eat meat..

Thats ok, I wouldn't date a vegan anyway... too much freaking hassle, they gotta make dates difficult!! Bring on the STEAK!!

yeah.. lol Vegan men are really skinny.. with dirty beards.. and they smell of urine and goat's cheese.
Vegan women.. are so..full of 'themselves' I don't eat this.. I don't do that I don't smile... I don't blah blah blah

And if my meat eating carcass is a grave yard, Call me "Happy Acres" because i do love my steaks,and BBQ anything! Mmmmm Nummy!

I once thought of becoming a Vegan, but then this thought entered my mind...
What would I eat to survive if I was ever stranded in the wilderness?
I'd eat meat or die, as I think it's difficult to find protein-providing plants in the middle of nowhere.
And I've read that people who are Vegans for long enough lose the ability to properly digest meat...

Anyway, I hope Vegans are happy living as virgins.

You're a naughty boy! LMAo!
I guess really, it is their loss. They could be missing out on the love of their life because of it.

Meh it's their choice either way. Least they're only denying sex, and not strapping on bombs to blow up people at a deli.



What the f- *goes in search of a vegan man to confirm*

LOL, I can just see it now, standing in line in a health food store and sniffing the people around you.

Have you ever considered writing a book of stereotypes? Some of yours are absolutely hilarious.

LOL I was just sitting here thinking where I would find such a man, there's no specific health food stores in my area *lurks around the fruit and vegies section of the local supermarket*

There's one! He's skinny and has a long beard, now to get close and snniiifffff LOL

oh yeah, that's urine and goat cheese alright

LOL

oh wow that's exactly right. I don't think most vegans realize how horrible they smell. Its pretty disgusting sometimes. But I imagine to a vegan a meet eater might smell just as bad. Whenever I get around vegans they have this pilly garlicky smell.

I don't know any vegans, but there are tonnes of vegetarians around here and they eat a lot of cabbage

Hey vegan, do you know how many vegetable had to die to make your salad?

But, really. This is taking it too far. Shunning sex because of food preference? It just seems a little, unusual. But whatever, man. I'm mostly cool with vegetarians but not vegans (my best friend is vegetarian). And this doesn't make me like them any more.

The few i,ve met always seem to look sickly,with their eyes sunken in and they appear to have no energy,slow and lethargic. And when you talk to them it,s like they have to wait till what you,ve said regesters before they can answer you! It,s freaky!

Well, when I have read articles and they call us down for eating meat...that is MY choice. If my ancestors hadn't eaten meat, I wouldn't be here right now. The human race has eaten meat for thousands of years. There was a race of vergatarian hominids and they died out.

Ive never smelt a vegan, but i would cook & eat one.

EEEWWWW, LOL!

I love meat and if that stops a vegan from having sex with me good, ya know whats worse than a vegan? A freegan, but in my eyes they are all absolutely nuts plain and simple all the PETA members right down to someone telling me that I shouldn't eat the burger i just ordered

vegans say "i dont eat anything with a face"

well either they're lying or that rules out a lot of sexual positions!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO! You're going to get yourself in trouble, there, randym! But, that was funny.

Thats the Italian Vegans. I can laugh at that one, being Italian, but not a vegan.

We had a good friend who was vegan and had his boys tabooed on meat. Well, the boys would be at our house, and as soon as their dad left they would be asking for the meat. I felt sorry for the kids. Obviously they wanted more than what was being fed to them..

You pretend you too, are vegan. Have sex and then order a kebab to be delivered


ROFLMAO!!!!

I had a teacher in high school that was a vegetarian, but very close to being a vegan, anyway, he had a son who looked so sickly, his eyes bulged out of his head and he was so small and skinny. When we had hot dog sales and things like that at school, that kid would buy like 5 of them. One day his dad caught him, and they had an argument about it, with the dad telling his son how disappointed he was in him. I found that so sad. Obviously the boy really wanted meat, and was craving it. He would eat it any chance he got. I don't know how a parent could jeopardize their child's health like that.

Yes I agree. It is fine for an individual to choose to do something, but when they push that onto kids it is a bit off. The thing is, they won't feed their own kids meat, because they won't touch it at all.

They take things to the extreme when they won't even let their kids buy meat to eat out of the home though.

Now a question: is it not normal that everybody has sex with those they like? Doubt a Vegan would like a beefeater.

I'm sure that quite a few vegans still like meateaters, just choose not to do anything about the attraction.

I'm a vegetarian but I doubt I could ever become a vegan. I like eggs and cheese way to much. I never got the whole argument of the with a face thing. You dont kill chickens to get eggs and you dont kill goats and cows to get cheese.
I think the only way I can bot eat meat is that I do eat dairy and eggs because they are high in protein the drawback to being vegetarian is that I'm anaemic a lot of the time and I have to eat vege's that are high in iron.
I'm a vegetarian purely out of the fact I just dont like meat. Not some crazy killing animals thing.
To all vegans... IT'S CALLED THE FOOD CHAIN!!!!

Smell has a lot to do with attraction... a carnivore smells a little different than a herbivore.

True. But, there are vegetarians who marry "meat eaters" and just overlook it, they are not all high and mighty about it. AND they obviously are attracted to each other since they did marry. I know a couple who are like this.

I've known lots of vegans, and I used to be one. They were all over weight, including myself for awhile. Nonje of them were sick of malnutritioned. A big reason for this is because people who are vegans are foodies. They are obsessed with food and trying to find some way to control themselves, so they place restrictions like this: no meat, no dairy, no sugar, no yeast, I'm allergic to everything, I can't have gluten. I did it. When I finally learned to stop obsessing I lost the weight. That's why most people are vegans. I'm sure there are a few anorexics who think being vegan will give them an edge on being sickly thin.
And when I was a vegan I had sex with my meat eating husband all the time.

But the difference between a vegetarian and a Vegan is about the same as the difference between a normal Muslim and bin Laden, the difference between a normal Jew and an ultra orthodox Rabbi or the average Catholic and the Pope.

A normal vegetarian could get along with a "cadaver consumer", a Vegan never.

Next time you see a vegetarian/vegan, ask them to eat a chicken. Then tell them that if they say no, you'll eat three.

Well, I guess I am a cesspool of dead animals and don't have to worry about a vegan ever asking me out!! LOL

I see,so it,s more of a controle issue? When i was anorexic thats what drove me i think, the power i had over the results! But of course i hated eating anything then,even vegies! I was sure i,d gain weight if i ate more than half a tomatoe a day! Thank God i,ve got that under controle now and i,ll eat anything as long as i like the taste!

The only vegan I have ever known was a bloke whose diet seemed to consist of things like dry bread and nuts, he was stick thin and to be honest, he looked damn unhealthy.


good grief!

Thats the spirit, swtp! I try to live by that as well.
Thing is, my body doesn't always thank me for it...

And, as such, I do vegan it for about a week after a heavy drinking session, but thats more out of detox than protest.

Personally, though, I would only eat meat...three times a week? Including lunches etc. But thats just because I am not fond of the taste.

Here is a thought.... do you think that a vegan would have sex with someone who restricted their meat to fish? Or other, non vegan vegetarians?

I know what you mean, my body sometimes rebels after i put too much of the wrong thing in it also! So for a day or two eating vegan or even fasting with lots of water for detoxing the body is ok, i just couldn,t do it all the time! I try to do everything in moderation and don,t eat meat every day either. And as far as i know vegans are against eating any living thing, even dairy products and eggs etc... So they would probably be against fish eaters too!

That's fine, I'll just tell them I'll eat four times the meat I all ready do and hunt it myself until they sleep with me.

I hated meat (red meat) as a child. Long story short I had to start eating red meat 3 yrs ago because I was pregnant and I needed more protien well any way I eat red meat every now and then I think its ok. I love to cook out on the grill but I over cook my meat I like it that way. I never disliked me eaters like these veggie heads do these days they seem a little wacy to me.
