Yes I have a friend who is asexual, she was genuinely not attracted to men or women. Yet this did not prevent her from having relationships with people, they just weren't romantic/sexual relationships, or from feeling love for others.
I don't believe it is a sexual dysfunction, I believe it is an legit sexual orientation; as heterosexual would be the opposite of homosexual, asexual would be the opposite of bisexual.

Asexuality interior the human race (not something to do with flora) is while a guy or woman (who might inevitably have a intercourse rigidity yet a low one) does not pick intercourse...is carefully repelled by utilizing the belief on occasion. it is not celibacy, this may well be a call. Asexuality isn't a call. In situations you are going to be attracted aesthetically to a individual, yet no extra beneficial than that. you're actually not fascinated in a sexual courting.

Sexual attraction lies along a continuum, kind of like the bell-shaped curve we all learned about in school. Most people fit under the biggest portion of the curve, which is basically heterosexual (right at the center). As you move from the center to either side, you'll come across people who are increasingly avidly heterosexual, often aggressively so, and on the other side, people who are increasingly bisexual, gay, and avidly gay (again often aggressively so). Toward the farthest parts of the bell are the "out-liers". These could be people who totally live for sex and are sexual addicts. Just as there are those people who choose to abstain from other potentially addicting activities or behaviors (smoking, drinking, drugs, gambling, etc.), there are people who choose not to engage in sex. While they could simply be celibate and have a sexual preference somewhere on the continuum, they could also be among a fairly small percentage of the population for whom sex is completely unimportant, and not a part of their lives. This is not necessarily by active choice, just the way they are. And, since chosen celibacy is different than complete apathy regarding sex, then yes, there are asexual people out there.

In my point of view, I come close. I have a sex drive for woman,My experience's have not been many but grate. during the act I can't get off, I have lasted all night long. They were don before I was. I had to finish the job by my self at home. I have found I don't need the sex to feel the love I feel or someone alts. It can be confusing, They never feel what I feel. And if they do they hide it. Assuming they don't feel what I feel, I do my worst and hide it. To me, No mien's No and I don't pres the issue.

I think my sister might be. She exhibits the signs. She's had a boyfriend, but it never progressed beyond hand holding, and they were more buddy buddy than anything.

While I think it is possible to be asexual I feel that its far more common for the person to not feel comfortable enough with themselves (appearance, sexuality ect) to think in those terms. Good bad or indifferent I think it is often a coping mechanism

I'm not asexual (thank you God) but I know several people who are. I actually think a lot more people are, but dont advertise it.
