Can someone explain Asexual.

I was thinking I was. And my significant other got upset and said no. That means you have no sexual attraction. Even to me. I said no. I just don't like being sexually active because my Drive is so low. Sometimes in the moment I feel it. But I thought there are levels of being Asexual.

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.

@littlepuppywantanewlife sexual behaviour and sexuality are different things

@littlepuppywantanewlife I have ace friends and that's not quite right. Asexual people don't feel the desire or need to have sex, but are still physically capable of it. They could choose to have sex, and even enjoy it and still be asexual. A gay man could have straight sex, he would still be gay as his attraction is to men. It seems a contradiction and took me a while to understand! It's like going to someone's house and they serve a food you don't like, you could still eat it to be polite. Does that make sense?
