A lot of people are celibate or don't want to have sex with people that they are attracted to for various reasons. For some it's for spiritual/religious purposes. Other people are too busy with their career or other things to focus on sexual relationships. There are other times where people can be attracted to someone else but realize that sleeping with them would be inappropriate (for example, a few years ago I was sexually attracted to my boss but I didn't actually want to act on that attraction because, well, he was my boss and happily married at that). For me, I choose not to have sex even though I very much feel sexual attraction because I'm not at a point in my life where I want to have a relationship with someone but I also know that having one night stands or similar arrangements just isn't for me.

Okay, but, that's not quite the same as asexuality has been explained, though. You're choosing not to have sex for various outside reasons - career, spirituality, repercussions at your work. Being asexual, as explained by other people, is about lacking the desire to have sex, even though you might be romantically attracted to someone, you just don't have the 'need' for the physical side of it. (My understanding from various posts here and otherwhere.)

Yeah, I just checked a few posts earlier in the thread and realized that I misinterpreted what was going on. I was under the impression that anon was wondering why a sexual person wouldn't want to have sex with someone that they're sexually attracted to rather than why an asexual person would still feel sexual attraction. My bad, I should have kept better track of the thread

anon from upthread

I think my main issue is that the definition of asexuality is kind of all over the place and changes depending on the person (and sometimes someone will contradict their own definition even within the same sentence) so it doesn't really make sense to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Can you give an example of a contradiction? Not trying to argue, I'm just wondering if it's a wording thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Like someone talking about how they're asexual but they do still experience sexual attraction but just don't want to act on it, when the "official" definition is supposed to be that you DON'T experience sexual attraction. Obviously people have different definitions they're using, which just makes it confusing.

Because sometimes you'd rather deal with your hand than most men!
