I think this is the right area, correct me if I'm wrong.

Is anyone here asexual? Or know someone who is? What is your view on asexuality? Do you believe it exsists? Or do you think it's just what people say when they can't find someone to be with?

I identify as asexual, even though I'm young. I'm not really attracted to males or females. I want a relationship, but not a sexual one.

I have a friend that is asexual. At first, I didn't believe it because it seemed as though the person was self-centered. However, when my friend admitted to being asexual, I was somewhat surprised. He explained that he wasn't physically attracted to anyone, and does not want a relationship for sexual purposes. Now, I honestly believe that it exists, and it does seem understandable and acceptable. It shouldn't be frowned upon, just like any sexual orientation shouldn't.

I'm asexual. My whole family is morman, and they think that being gay or whatever they call it is wrong. I don't believe that though. I think that being asexual doesn't make you a different species, it just makes you you.

Well, I don't really know what the Morman veiws on asexuality means. I know my family supports it, because it means I will be focused on school more then the others in my class. But it does lead to uncomfortable convorsations with my friends. I get uncomfortable when they talk about thinking some one's 'hot'. But no one I know really minds it.

When ever I mention Asexuality around my parents they go to think it means to reproduce on your own. (such as an Asexual race of aliens -No gender - don't need a partner to have babies) I always feel so insulted...

I am Asexual myself.

I never find anyone really attractive, but I do find personalities attractive.

I have a boyfriend but to say I am "uninterested" in those sexual activities is an understatement... 

I just wish He was the same. It really makes a muck of things.

It also makes a mess of my emotions sense almost all Love feels harmless.

Confusing love for a friend and love for something more is extremely easy... 

I can understand why some people are. Im not tho. everyone is different so it should be normal that some people are asexual.

I think asexuality is a very nice thing. I think too much evolves around sex these days. I'm wouldn't call myself asexual, however I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in any sexual oriented activites. I was very curious abolut it when I was a teen tho, but the older I get, theless interested i get. 

There was a time when I thought I was asexual but that could have been down to me suffering badly from depression at the time. Depression can affect sexual desire. I realise now that I am not asexual and I am very happy with my husband. I am attracted to people but maybe not as many people as others. But I do support anybody who is asexual. There is too much emphasis on sex nowadays and I think it is a positive thing to focus on other things.

Not to rain on everyone's parade here, but I honestly don't think there's such a thing as asexuality. I am NOT saying that you guys are confused or mentally disoriented or just wrong or anything. I'm just saying that I think people are too quick to label things as medical or sexual conditions. This being an "anti-sexual condition". But I really don't think this is a condition. I think it's just a mindset. If to be supposedly asexual is to have no interest in sexual behavior, that's all there is to it. It doesn't mean you have a condition or you need therapy. It just means you're not interested in sexuality, which is okay, I think.
This is my opinion. (emphasis on opinion lol)

A sexuality's just a sexual prefrence. It's just like someone being gay or strait. If you're asexual, you're not sexually attracted to anything. Who would think it was a condition?
