Asexuality
A sexual orientation describing people who experience little or no sexual attraction to others.
What This Really Means
Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by little or no sexual attraction, but it does not determine someone’s capacity for relationships, intimacy, or emotional closeness.
Asexual people may still value romance, partnership, or physical affection in ways that are meaningful to them.
Examples
Feeling close to people emotionally but not sexually
enjoying intimacy without sexual attraction
identifying as gray-asexual or demisexual.
