I find it impossible to imagine, and I think there are people around who just cling onto labels to make themselves feel special. But also there really are people out there who experience no sexual attraction. Just because we can't imagine it doesn't mean it's not real for anyone else. Also the argument about it being human nature to be sexually attracted to people doesn't work either, because even when something should be innate there will always be a few people who break the mould genetically, and there will also be people who respond to the world around them in a way that causes them to go against nature (e.g anorexia, suicidal people etc). Not trying to compare asexuality with anything destructive, I'm merely pointing out that our idea of natural isn't a hard and fast rule that every human fits in to.
The rationale is used is not the fact that I could not imagine it. Even though I can't imagine it, it coukd still be a thing based off that. But rather, things like anatomy, hormones and evolution, make me belive that it is not a thing. Like asexual guys still have testosterone which plays a role in sex drive. And asexual girls still have a clitoris, which is an organ whose only purpose is sexual pleasure. If a guy is 'asexual' what would happen if you put a vibrator on his penis? You really think he would not feel a thing? Does he have no nerve endings or what?
You’re misunderstanding the definition. Asexuals are not interested in having sex, doesn’t mean they can’t get aroused. They just don’t get aroused by the idea of having sex with people, your vibrator example kinda proves that. just as you’re not aroused by the same sex if you’re straight, or even ugly people. That’s how they feel about everyone.
That is kinda the point. They still have some sexual drive and feelings, they are just to low to amount to outwardly wanting to have sex. But regardless, the idea that people have no sex drive at all or no sexual feelings is BS, and that tends to be what asexual people claim. In my opinion of course!
Interesting question. Like if you use a vibrator to get off, you aren't attracted to a specific gender. I think it would be about what you were thinking about at the time.
Is it normal to think "asexuality" is totally not a thing?

But if their sexual feelings are not a product of or directed towards either sex, what should they refer to their orientation as?

They aren’t thinking about anything, just enjoying the feeling.
