(Anonymous) 2014-09-26 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)People can't explain it because for a lot of people it's not something you CAN explain. Forget the asexual aspect for now...explain what it means to be in love with someone. It's nearly impossible to do in in a way that applies to everyone. It's why there's the cliche in all the movies of a young person asking their parent how they know when they're in love with someone and the parent always says "You just know."
So explain what it means to be in love with someone. If it's just a feeling that you can't put into words...there you go. It's the same way for asexual people. If you CAN list specific things, there's more to it than just "I want to have sex with them", isn't there? Just take out the sex aspect, and all the other things that are left...that's your answer.
If you can't think of anything that makes a friendship different than a romance except for sex, then maybe for you sex is the only distinction. But that doesn't mean it doesn't work differently for other people.
