Do you know any asexuals?

It's called the Invisible Orientation. It's estimated that only about 1% of the population identifies as such. I've never met any in person that I'm aware of. Not that it particularly matters, but it goes to show how uncommon it is. You kinda feel like a unicorn sometimes.

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.
