Is it normal to be asexual?

I'm not asexual but I wish I was. I've seen a lot of post on here about people claiming to be asexual. So i think you're normal. Asexuality isn't anything weird in my opinion.

Honestly, you do not need to be in a relationship to be happy. Although, I think it's great that you spare other guy's feelings and go out with them.

Do what makes you happy and if being single is just that then I don't see the problem.

It's not normal, but definitely nothing bad. I don't see why you're dating though.

It's not common but if you really are, then be proud.

Something like 1% of the population is asexual. It's a rare gift.

it's normal, it's your life, you are free to do whatever you want with it.

@nowimsureimsane- I don't normally go so far as to make judgements about someone based solely on their posts on this website, but your comments come off as incredibly closed-minded, uneducated, ignorant, unintelligent, and even, in a word, moronic. OP, please don't let this particular individual's posts make you feel bad in any way about who you are. Asexuality is absolutely a legitimate sexual orientation, just as much as heterosexuality, bisexuality/pansexuality, and, my orientation, homosexuality. It's not something you chose, and there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about; whoever tells you otherwise is simply wrong. However, I would recommend that you don't force yourself to date unless you happen to find someone you want to be with; it's really okay to not be with anyone! While I'm admittedly not as educated about asexual support networks as I should be, this is something you may want to look into. It's a great way to meet and connect with other people who are also asexual, and may be helpful in finding supportive friends as well as sorting out any insecurities you may harbor about this. Keep your chin up, OP, and whatever you do, never let others' judgements stop you from doing what makes you happiest and, in essence, being who you are. Good luck and stay strong!

Obviously it isn't normal (statistics say 1%) but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Just don't lead guys on. That ain't gonna help anything.

Atleast 25% of people on this site alone claim to be asexual, so it's nothing different.
Yes, I'd say it's normal.

Are you young? When I was younger, like 16ish, I felt indifferent to sex and thought I would be well off and happy just being single all my life. I grew out of it.

Sounds to me like someone's vagina is dried up

It actually sounds like you are asexual and aromantic. Asexual means not having sexual feelings towards someone else usually, and aromantic means not having romantic feelings towards someone usually.

There is more than one definition for asexuality. There are aromantic asexuals (people with no romantic or sexual desires), romantic asexuals (people who desire romance but not sexual relations), demi-asexuals (asexuals that only feel sexual attraction for someone they feel a deep connection with), gray-asexuals (asexuals stuck in between feeling sexual attraction and not feeling sexual attraction), etc. I think the best broad "definition" I've heard about asexuality is being fine/ok without ever having sex. The majority of people either don't know it exists or have a misunderstanding of it, but I think it's normal because I am asexual! No matter what people think, it's who I am and I won't/can't change just because it goes against their idea of "normal".

It's fine. You're happy, i assume, you're not hurting anyone. so maybe you're not 'normal' in the sense that you're not average,i.e. most people are sexual. I think you're kind of lucky, to be honest. You have no hormonal handcuffs.

ASEXUAL MEAN YOU HAVE NO LIBIDO/SEXUAL ATTRACTION.
YOU CAN HOWEVER DEFINETLY HAVE ROMANTIC ATTRACTION/FEELINGS.
I'M ASEXUAL MYSELF :)

I'm Asexual, its not so much you dont like romance its that you have no sexdrive at all, and youre not interested in sex. It also has something to do with your hormones, yes it is perfectly normal but dont worry about it!

I think all the "Is it Normal?" - thing is a bit superfluous in certain matters -- like this. Because I don't think it matters if we call it normal or not, but alright, if I say it's normal, I mean: you shouldn't feel bad about it. I have a friend who's also asexual, and she wouldn't be bothered if the society around us wouldn't be focusing on monogamy and sex so much.

Course it's normal, I know loads of people who are asexual. It's your life and your feelings, if you don't want a relationship then that is entirely up to you!

Sorry i got pissed by your ignorant comments i meant against having kids..,id be ok with them sterilising all young girls stop those pieces of shit from having babies on the spot

Hey look learn before you speak im super again having kids and i realise this worlds overpopulated and wtf bring kids into this fucked up world?i was speaking purely intimate so spout your ignorance without knowing the facts.......

Statistically no it's not normal..But in my opinion it is. We can't really control how we feel. We are who we are..Just accept it. However, you shouldn't feel obligated to care about hurting some guy's feeling when he asks you out. Everyone gets rejected sometime in their life. He'l' just have to accept it. Besides, leading him can be considered to be worse then rejection.. Just saying.

Yeah, it's rare but normal. Acceptable in society, unless you are a male.

so your aromantic (one word) as well, may be an advantage in life if you truly are, or could be seen as a huge loss when you wont experience one of the things that makes humans human and to manys opinions the reason for living. Pros and Cons to it. Look at it as you will.

its not normal but todays world there are too many asexuals around.

It's normal. Each person is different. Some people like to be alone. There's nothing wrong with it.

Normal? Probably not.
Lucky? Hell yes.
Romance and sex nearly always ends up with pain.

Btw sorry to hear all you people who have no sex drive its not human and its not right....go ahead read more on the internet and feel ok about being fucking sick.have at it.dont you ever look down om me for being a turned on man.your the fucking insane useless humans.

That's y nuns and priest r for ppl like u
