Can someone explain Asexual. I was thinking I was. And my significant other got upset and said...

Literal definition is Someone who is asexual doesn't experience sexual attraction and/or doesn't desire sexual contact.

It sounds more like you’re sexually apathetic.

Asexual scientifically means that it is an organism that reproduces with its self; does not need a partner to mate. When applied to humans it’s more of a joke rather than a real thing. Humans are social creatures and we need one another to survive no matter how we identify. Being Asexual does not actually apply to us…. That’s why it’s funny/a joke. It’s a sardonic way of saying that you don’t need anyone.

I once read an article about that, saying what you claimed, that it's rather about being less sexual than average, which wouldn't have to mean no sexual attraction. I considered myself asexual as well for quite some time, but I guess it depends on the women around me.

Like any sexuality it's complicated and can be anything. You can be mostly asexual or only a little sexual. Whatever words make the most sense for you. It's not an all or none thing it's not like being a vegan.

I'm curious, have you always felt this way or have you just came to feel this way over time? I'm thinking I remember one post in which you seemed to be looking forward to sex with your partner.

When I hear "asexual" I think of a person who doesn't want or need sex at all. I could be wrong, but what I think I'm hearing here sounds like more of a low sex drive thing. That could be caused by any number of things.

You need to be true to your self nobody else

I have never had sex so I am asexual. But my attraction towards woman is more on emotional level rather then on sexual. If I do have sex then I won't be called an asexual.
