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.)

ayrt

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.

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

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!
