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.
Get a real job you sick cow. Get married and raise a family. Pretty soon you won't be obsessing about this stuff any longer.
Gee, I’m surprised Air-America didn’t jump in a buy the WSJ. LMAO...
Ya think?

I wouldn’t trust a man that won’t eat meat.
Who’s the guy on the bottom left corner? He almost looks like Ron Howard.
I’ve seen a photo of this Annie Potts. She has hamster teeth and cow’s hips.
See what a vegan diet does to you?
Oh, and it makes you fart a lot. The human digestive system is not meant to break down much plant cellulose. Our stomachs produce pepsin - which is good for digesting MEAT.
Besides that there is the issue of our teeth... we have canines which are designed for consuming meat.
A human can eat all the veggies he wants, and will still meat on his bones. It makes you want to go hmmmm... A Vegan’s brain is already a vegetable.
LOL
Men that don’t eat meat will eventually be prey.
Sheep generally aren’t known for doing the nasty with wolves.

Never get your meat where you get your bread and butter!
Like carnavores would give them a choice ;o)
We humans are omnivores by design.
A lot of experts would agree it’s easier for humans to survive on a meat only diet (look at the native Inuits) than a strict vegan diet.
“Vegans shun sex’

He's a Dutch psychokiller vegan animal rights activist... he killed a couple of people, most famously Pim Fortuyn.
Volkert van der Graaf's extra-legal activities as an animal rights activist include at least two murders. Volkert was also a member of a group called the "Furious Potatoes" (De Ziedende Bintjes), a group that carries out illegal, violent actions against fur breeders, companies that carry out animal tests and firms that operate in a way that they consider environmentally unsound.
Volkert, like most vegans is extremely intolerant of those with an opposing point of view. Intolerant enough to kill them.
Actually, this is mere rationalizing and the rejection goes the other way. What healthy hearty ravenous carnivore wants to be with someone who reeks of brussel sprouts and turnips? :^)
Humans are omnivores. We require meat as part of our diet. Restricting oneself to an exclusively plant diet is unnatural and unhealthy.
My sentiments for these self-styled "Vegans"; "Welcome to a lower level of the food chain. Carnivores will like you!"
