    I’ll need that explained more if you don’t mind.

    I thought the whole point of asexual was you’re just not interested in sex or anything relevant to that?

      Asexual ≠ Not Liking Sex

      Asexual = Not Feeling Sexual Attraction

      The way I usually describe it as an asexual guy is that there’s basically noone I find hot. That doesn’t mean they’re the opposite. It just like a sense I lack or a color I can’t see. I just don’t feel sexual attraction. But I do still like people based on other types of attraction and sex is still fun. For me platonic attraction is the main criteria for sexual partners. It’s just a fun activity between close friends like watching a movie or playing a board game.

      That’s not to say that there aren’t asexual people who don’t like sex because those people do exist, but how much a person likes sex is on the sex repulsion to sex favorable axis and is only tangentally related to asexuality.
