No wanting to date people?

An asexual is someone without sexual desire. He or she can still "date", although there's unlikely to be a sexual element to the relationship - or if there is, the asexual partner is unlikely to enjoy it.

Asexual means not having a sexual attraction with someone else, it doesn't mean that you cannot have a romantic attraction to someone else.

In fact there are three kinds of asexual people :

-sex favorable (=cupiosexual), despite the fact that you do not feel sexual attraction with someone, you may desire to and have sex, for instance, for sole pleasure, for giving pleasure or for relieving your own nervous tension.
-sex indifferent, despite not attracted to sex, having sex doesn't bother you, you may as well have sex if your partner is zedsexual.
-sex repulsive (=apothisexual), for you having sex with someone is disgusting.

Asexuality is a question of attractivity, not a question of practice, you may have sex or masturbate even if you are asexual. Asexuality is not always a life time condition.

Asexuality is an absence of sexual attraction to other people.

An asexual person can be romantically attracted to someone, however.

No sexually orientated to none of the sexes .


Asexuals and bisexuals are even more fascinating than monosexuals are imo .. they receive less discrimination than gays or lesbians do i believe.

A person who identifies as "asexual" has no desire for sexual relations with anyone, but may or may not still have an ability to feel romantic attraction to someone.

(To the best of my understanding)
Asexual means a lack of sexual attraction.
This is independent of libido, platonic feelings, romantic feelings, or physiological reactions.
Pop culture does not do a good job of representing.
Someone who is asexual may or may not be romantically or sexually active. Confused?
Someone who is asexual may enjoy the sensations of intercourse without finding someone sexually attractive. And romance is independent of sex (despite pop culture messaging).

There are also cases of someone not feeling attraction to anyone until they have formed a significant emotional bond. (I think referred to as 'demisexual' or 'grey-sexual', I do not recall)

Someone who is asexual can still feel romantic attraction toward others, just not sexual attraction. A romantic asexual desires a romantic relationship but has no desire for sex. There are also people, like me, who are nonromantic asexual and don't desire either a romantic relationship or sex.

I had sex with my wife from 1983-1990 when she had a stroke. I blew very hot and cold when it came to sex ,with quite lengthy lay offs. It wasn't something I found highly enjoyable or repulsive . Since 1990 I've had no sex . My wife died in 2005.

It's not something I yearn for .
