Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction. There are many different types of asexuals, but one thing that they all have in common is that their sexual attraction is less than that of a sexual person. An asexual can be male or female, trans*, cis, intersex, gay, straight, bi, polyamorous; they can be any gender and they can be attracted to whomever or whatever. The difference between being asexual and being sexual is simply that you don’t feel the need or urge to have sex.

Asexuality doesn’t mean that one doesn’t feel romantic urges. Many asexual people seek long term relationships.

Many people also use the term “ace” to describe being asexual. Ex. “Mary identifies with the ace community” or “Tommy is ace”.

Asexuals even have a flag, which is the picture on this article!
