Views on human sexuality

Nesterenko is a proponent of antisexualism and is one of the founders of the International Antisexual Movement. The IAM advocates for ending sexual relations throughout the world. It was Yuri Nesterenko who established the first Antisexual Society in Russia 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 a while.
Nesterenko is an atheist and his pro-chastity views do not come from religious belief. According to him, sexual drive is similar to drug addiction because a common addictive element is present in the two behaviours. Nesterenko calls upon every person 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 human possesses. That is why Nesterenko opposes it. He is not opposed to all emotions. There is nothing bad in feeling satisfaction from, for instance, a well-done job, either admiring or producing artwork, or 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 anti-sexual. 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 anti-sexual 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."
In the middle of the 2000s, the moulding of the IAM attracted the attention of Russian and foreign mass media. Nesterenko was interviewed by journalists and bloggers, articles about his anti-sexual views appearing in central newspapers and magazines of Russia and the CIS. He was also featured on Russian television shows including TV programmes of Channel One and NTV. Nesterenko himself is not very happy with these shows. He says that they give a superficial and tendentious survey of the IAM. In his opinion, these attempts at a description of asexual people's ways of life are preconceived and not objective, with his real views being a bit distorted.

Political and religious views

Nesterenko describes himself as atheist, individualist, anti-communist, anti-Islamist and the opponent of any collectivist and dogmatic doctrines. He is consistent critic of anti-democratic regimes existed throughout Russian history, including Putin's Russia. Nesterenko was the participant of the Strategy-31 and one of the signers of the petition Putin Must Go.
In 2010, Nesterenko published an article entitled "Exodus", where he expressed the view that Russia is constantly reproducing authoritarian and totalitarian regimes on its territory and any attempts at democratization of Russia are doomed to failure. The reason for this lies in the slavish mentality of the Russians who, in his view, proud of their disempowered position, worship tyrants and despotism, hate peoples sharing the values of the human rights, the priority of the individual over the state, democracy and rule of law. Nesterenko believes that the Russians had freedom in the 1990s, but they gave up it and it was their deliberate choice.
Nesterenko supports Georgia in the Russo-Georgian War and Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Views on race

Nesterenko is an open proponent of racism. He defends his stance in the article entitled "Racism is bad? Can you prove it"?, where he defines racism as a "concept, according to which races are not equal by certain significant properties which can be objectively assessed in 'better – worse' terms". Nesterenko states that this definition is just "an acknowledgement of the fact" and does not automatically justify any hatred or aggression against the race with worse properties. Among other things, he claims racism can be scientifically proven to be rational because of the low IQ of blacks, higher black criminality and lack of great civilizations built by blacks. He names a racist booklet "Whites & Blacks. 100 FACTS ", which he has on his site, as one of his sources.
