Sexuality is different for everybody. Some people notice sexual attraction right away, while others only experience sexual attraction if there is a strong emotional or intellectual shared connection first.

And some people don’t experience sexual attraction or interest in sex whatsoever, or they experience very mild or only occasional interest in engaging in any kind of sex. In a sex-obsessed society, the concept of some people being immune to sexual desire might be difficult to grasp. Read on to find out what it’s actually like to be asexual.










One Comment on “What Does “Asexual” Actually Mean?”

  1. I’m so glad having found this article! I used to think something is wrong with me because I don’t have as much sexual desire as it seems “normal” compared to other women of my age (I’m 25). This was a problem with guys I got to learn too. They were expecting me to be more “easy” and blamed me of being “uptight”. It was frustraiting. For me and probably for the guys too. Now I think there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m just sort of asexual person and that’s okay. It’s just how it is. Maybe this will change in the future, maybe not. But I’m not going to blame myself for being the kind of person I am. Thanks again for this very helpful post.
