Is it odd? Probably but does that matter? Asexuality I don't really understand, I think it's much more nurture and environment that causes that than anything in your biology.

You've got it all wrong. Neurodiverse asexuality has nothing to do with libido or environment. It's a disgust reaction to using sex for attachment. Also, using sex for attachment is a unique neurotypical human adaption that is really dysfunctional for advanced cultures.

Additionally, the suggestion that asexuality is caused by trauma is ridiculous and insulting for asexual people.


Let him have his opinions.

Its a funny word attraction, most people are attracted to people in the true sense of the word. Few people truly voluntarily cut themselves off from people entirely. I don't think anyone is supposed to be anything though, unless someone foolishly imagines you are only an actor on stage to give them purpose.
