Nico: Asexuality IS a sexuality. It is one because it is a LACK of sexuality.
Alright, thank you, this is what I was looking for, a clear definition because the one I looked up wasn't very specific (I had read the definition as "Lacking a desire for intercourse" instead of "Lacking a desire for sexual preference). Also, I assume that the word sexuality in this entire topic refers to sexual preference right ? Meaning that someone who is asexual has no sexual preference/desire at all for any sex(male or female).

Also, asexual is refferring also to asexual reproduction, which is slightly different in that only one sex is necessary to create a new life. Its saying there is a lack of sexuality, because there isnt a need to have the other sex, or even another member of the same sex to create a new being, its done solely by the one being, rather its a plant or animal or whatever it is. Its an unusual concept, but it shouldnt be as confusing as it is to you. If you are having such a hard time with it, ask a parent or teacher or someone, dont continue dismissing people trying to explain it to you on here. You have read the definition, you have been attempted to be shown what it means, and yet you still dont seem to understand why asexual is still a sexuality.
First, I had clearly stated that I had already knew the biological reproduction use of the word asexual which is basically why I wrote up that I was confused about the word asexual used as a sexual prefrence(phew). In fact, I wrote a sentence explaining asexual reproduction, this concept isn't foreign to me at all. If you haven't figured it out yet, I was confused about if asexual can be used as a term describing sexual preference as well as describing a form of reproduction. I'm not the complete dumbass you make me out to be.
Second, I am not dismissing anyone on here that has attempted to explain what this term means. In fact, you are the only one who has "tried" to explain it (ie. mock my comprehension of a vague definiton). I fully appreciate that you have actually explained what the term means now but your previous post wasn't really necessary.

Just dont "bump" the topic in an attempt to gain attention. Bumping topics is not something to do here, and further "bumping" is just going to get you in trouble.
This sentence is quite idiotic if you ask me. If I want "attention" (read: the answer to a logical question) I have every right to "bump" my post so more people can read it/respond to it. Would you rather I make another thread concerning to a question that could of simply been answered here ? Also, take a look:

I hardly consider three days without posting "bumping" a topic ...
Also, I do not believe humans can be asexual in the reproductive sense unless they are hermaphrodites (having both male and female organs), and even then I've never heard of a case in which the person fertilized their own egg and gave birth ('cept in the Bible, Immaculate Conception, but that's a different thread). Now, asexual being their sexual preference seems possible although I also think it is a very rare occurance.

You dont need companionship when you've got sex toys and a computer! Your never alone!
Companionship would scare them..They are probably scared of losing someone close to them! Or maybe they are nuns!
And Joe! Im a lesbian...on the weekends!
Cant believe you never new that

Joe! We found someone! I think maybe they ( asexuals ) don't like companionship, because they are afraid of getting really close with someone, and then losing them. It makes sense, in a way, but they are better ( I think anyway ) to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all.
I dont know whats better I have never loved *scared of the L word* someone and lost them
Ive only ever fancied the pants off them - Luuuuusted after them and lost them
Why is it better though to have loved and lost?

I've met an asexual. I believe that she was attracted to men at first, then raped, so now she's just the scary old hermit in a cave somewhere-type person
And because *sappy nonsense to follow* when you love someone deeply and truly, you feel like you've actually achieved something, even if you do end up losing the battle in the end
Wow Sarah you met one? That must have been interesting. But do they all end up living in caves? Or do some live normal lives, just without physical attraction?
Yeah - they just live regular, normal lives, go out with friends just like the rest of us - but they're not actually attracted romantically to anyone of either sex. Nothing TOOO different xD
I used to think one of my closest friends was asexual...Me and my bitch Claire thought cause she would never talk about any guy in a romantic way O.o
Example
*Sex on legs walks past*
Me and Claire start drooling Omg he is haaaaawt I want his babies
Lizzie - Yeah he has nice shoes

Heh nice shoes. I actually think one person at my school might be Asexual. If by 13 someone has never ever made a comment about how good looking or w/e a girl or guy is, d'u think they might be asexual?
Depends when they hit puberty I guess.. or maybe they won't develope attractions for anyone until they're older they still have all those teenage years to go through lol

Some people arent as vocal as others, or to them other things are more important then how attractive or unattractive another person is. Everyone prioritizes there lives differently.
