Someone I know is asexual , they never desire sex with anyone and are in fact repulsed by it so let's not label it but then if someone asks, it's so much easier to just say "I'm asexual" than "I'm not interested in having sex with anyone"
If someone says they hate meat and can't even stomach it every time a friend or family member made them try it, they hate meat. It doesn't mean they're in denial about liking it, it means they won't eat it because they don't like it.
Just because the majority have a preference towards something doesn't mean everyone will.
I see your point however I don't think the meat analogy is the same. Sexual desire is something that is more subconcious than food tastes. People are attracted subconsciously at first and on many other occasions also. And also, everyone has sex hormones that play a role in sex drive. Because if this many people at times have a higher sex drive than they want, while others have one lower than they want. Hormones regualate our desex drive to some extent and everyone has these hormones, so our level of attraction is not under our control. I think poeple who are asexual simply ignore the urges they have. So it appears that they may be asexual from the outside looking in, but hormones still work on them.
Is it normal to think "asexuality" is totally not a thing?

Amen
Someone telling you they are asexual, is not enough convincing evidence to make asexuality a fact. It is more of a theory, for it has not been proven.
