      Why can't it be normal?

        For the same reason why being gay isnt exactly natural for the way of procreation.

        A straight person is normal. Anything beyond that is abnormal but it's not socially abnormal. Theres a line between evolutionary abnormal and societal abnormalities.

    well its not common or normal. Statistically anyone whos not straight are not "normal" aka majority. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be treated normally. I see how it can happen, and though uncommon, its not my place, or anyones place to judge that.

      I find it amazing you weren't downvoted to oblivion. The LGBT+ community isnt really cool with normies calling them out for being abnormal vs how procreation is supposed to work.

    Your definition is self-contradicrory. Asexual can't be a sexuality, rather an asexulatity. 🤔

    As far as my humble knowledge goes, such a state exists. And it is not a sexuality but a state of consciousness. That is not found among commoners but only very elevated and advanced spiritual practitioners.
    When you have an average western kid or youth or anyone who's otherwise all down-to-earth claim they are 'ace' (even the term they use says it all) it can mean two things: it's either an immature edgy person trying to look original or someone who's experienced sexual abuse in the past that hurt them so much they developed insecurities suppressing their sexuality

    For a small % of society. Asexuality does exist. Just not very common.

    Asexual isnt normal, but is most definitely acceptable.

    I dont get why people want to place themselves in a special box of people. Why can't people just be a fucking individual without trying to create a group cult of fellow weirdos.

    I think it's generally just people with a low libido who want to identity as something special, and we're now in an age where you can identity as a variety of things that are at odds with reality.

    There are probably a very few people who fit the definition, but most of them wouldn't.

    I find it impossible to understand, but that doesn't mean it's not real. I said not normal, but only in the sense that I think it is very uncommon. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

    I find it really, really hard to believe. I feel as though it's more of a social construct. But I suppose it happens.

      Yes, it happens. People just want to express how they feel so if they want to identify as Asexual then by all means.

        So it's a choice? People can "identify" as asexual? Just like people can identify as black even when they aren't, or people can identify as a man/woman even when they aren't?

          Technically, someone tell everyone else that they're not what they are; that doesn't stop it from being lying, though.

    Given the human race wouldn’t exist if populated by asexuals I’d have to say it’s a no dawg. It’s not harmful because it’s not a large enough contingent to effect things. But it is clearly a malfunction of ze mind.

    Yeah of course it's real, if you don't want sex you don't want sex. Simple as that.
    I've considered if i'm on the spectrum myself, probably not to 100% but to some degree especially since i'm on the autistic spectrum. That's a bit of a stereotype but I think it's true to some degree.
    I've never really seen the point in sex and think that friendship makes any relationship valueable. I can't even understand a little bit how people resonate when they say that sex is what makes a romantic relationship what it is, I just feel that... No... The feelings do? And sex is just this spice that you can add to that if you want to. If sex is the only thing that defines a relationship, to me, it must be pretty fragile. But everyone's different, i'm not gonna sit here and say that those people are wrong but I wouldn't date them. For obvious reasons.

    Most asexual people are like 16 and just haven’t met the right person yet

      What does sexuality have to do with meeting the right person?! You sound like some ultra backward narrow-minded pastor from a tiny rural town in the 50s

        I think she's right. Most asexual people peppa probably just haven't found a thing that they're sexually aroused by, yet. They probably can be aroused; they just don't know by what.

    It's not really normal as in common, but there's nothing wrong with it, so I don't believe it's anything to worry about.

    I do believe it is real, as I'm pretty sure I am asexual, myself, or at least have a nonexistent libido. I have never had any sort of a sex drive or desire for sex. It could be attributed to the birth control pills I take for health reasons, but I never really felt anything before that (though to be fair, I was pretty young when I had to get on it). I have never felt horny or "turned on", have always been grossed out by the thought of having sex, etc. and I'm 25, so as for the years of being told I'm "just not ready yet", I think that ship has sailed. Either that or I am a very, very late bloomer in this aspect. I've also been told I "just haven't found the right person yet", but have never felt sexually attracted to a person (the maybe 3 crushes I've had in my life were all people I just wanted to be close with and hang out with, but I never had any sexual fantasies about them and was grossed out by the thought of them being naked or having sex with them), either.

    Some people just have no sex drive and no desire for sex.

    It is to me. I have zero interest in it, despite having a celebrity crush. My sexuality is my business as your sexuality is yours.

    Asexuality is more of a choice than anything. Most asexuals are just 13 year olds who want to feel special and shoehorn themselves into the LGBT community.

    I wasn't asexual as a child. At least, not as a child old enough for me to remember. I have no frame of reference for it, sorry.
