Computer programming Having a master's degree in computer science, Nesterenko has created several non-commercial computer games, including FIDO (one of the first Russian life sims devoted to a life of a Fidonet user). This game was very popular in the 1990's. He was also one of the script co-authors of several commercial Russian games, including Space Rangers and Space Rangers 2. Views on human sexuality Nesterenko is a proponent of antisexualism and is one of the founders of the International Antisexual Movement (IAM). The IAM advocates for ending 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 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
