Do you know any asexuals?

I don't understand why people endlessly post about sexual identity or expression they don't have or aren't personally familiar with.

I know two asexuals and don't understand it.

I personally think that sexual orientation is also a construct. I think humans are aroused by touch, when not aroused we can be “asexual”. When brainwashed by media and society we can be “heterosexual”. When no one is looking and the same sex touches us intimately, if we aren’t too bound by what we are taught we have the tendency to reciprocate and be “homosexual”. But all in all I think everyone is bisexual and asexual mixed together. There are moments we are not sexual, and moments that through touch we do become sexual. I’ve never been with my same sex and I’m not interested perhaps because I’ve been well brainwashed, am afraid of the stigmas, and I just love men because of their strength and obvious features.

I think just about all the women i've met in real life.

My soon to be ex hubby has identified as that.

I’ve known people whose sexual orientation was a mystery to me. I didn’t ask either.

Just saw one around but I’m sure it’s just a phase.

I met one here. She likes pretending to be tough between bouts of drug overdosing and putting people down.

My wife was for years while addressing some hormonal issues.

Everyone wants to feel special

Yes I do

I don’t know anyone personally who has declared him or herself “asexual”, but I know a few who are intentionally celibate for a variety of reasons.
