Rarely do people pay attention to asexuals. Heterosexuality, homosexuality, the debates carry on all the while ignoring an entire spectrum of people for whom life goes a little different. Either they are told that their condition is "not real", or that being an asexual is impossible. Which is a pretty low blow towards anyone's identity.

The amount of tears that came out while watching this video is inexplicable. As an asexual man who does experience romantic feelings, what she said really touched me and made me feel like I was not alone. I always have to constantly prove myself that I am no less of a man just because I don't experience sexual attraction. Everyone around me subtly insinuates the opinion that there will come a day where I will change my mind. It's a fight to keep proving that I am what I am. And I am proud of who I am! So, keep fighting to stand as tall as everyone else.

I really really feel this. The feeling of getting whatever satisfaction people get from sex from a show of affection. To me the deepest form of intimacy comes from a forehead kiss or when someone holds my hand. What they don't tell you is growing up, being asexual is lonely.

For anyone who don't know wht is a asexual...asexual persons can not feel sexual pleasure..but it's does not mean celibacy. People who practice celibacy abstain from sex, but not necessarily because they are not sexually attracted to others. Some choose to remain celibate for religious or personal beliefs. Asexuality, on the other hand, is an orientation and is not a choice....Some asexual people actually do have sex. There are many reasons why they might decide to, but two common ones are to please their romantic partner or to have children........ Feeling glad after seeing positive responsES

[@anotherszastan]

@Noob Veterinarian Demisexual means that you can only feel sexual attraction to people that you are close to and trust, which means there must be an emotional bond first. Like, if you see a hot stranger you feel attracted to them right? (unless you are demi too) But someone that is demi would not feel any attraction. And why this is a sexual orientation and not a matter of simply "falling in love with friends", is because they DONT feel attraction unless they have a bond with them. It is not a choice for them. It is just how they are and they can't help it. This is what I know about it, I hope you got what I mean? You can google it for more info.

This is to help people understand something that is a common misconception with asexuals. Asexual people (in most cases) are able to get aroused. This was the first question I had when I was questioning my asexuality, because I could get aroused, so does that mean I'm not asexual? And the answer is no, I can get aroused and still be asexual. The thing is, our bodies are wired a certain way to make the process of intercourse easier. So when we are in situations that could lead to sex, a man gets hard (as it would help in penetration) and a woman gets wet (which would again, make the process of penetration easier). Our body reacting this way is biological. Biologically, most asexuals don't have anything that doesn't work. It's just that they are not interested in having intercourse with another person. They can still do it, everything works, they just choose not to because it's their choice. There are also people with high libidos who are asexual and it is tough for them, but if you are a certain way, you just are.
