Re: nayrt

I think they actually are asexual by the definition of the word asexual (not having experienced sexual attraction to someone else in their lifetime). I think there's an interesting conversation to be had about whether this is a useful or meaningful definition of asexuality, but it IS the current definition.

I (and other people) sometimes use asexual colloquially to mean whether I consider myself a sexual being (i.e. having sexual desire, experiencing sexual arousal). In this sense, I agree AYRT is not asexual. But this is not the sense of "asexual" that they're using.

This comment hits the nail on the head. I am unquestionably a form of asexual; I've never been attracted to or felt aroused by another person. However, I also definitely consider myself a sexual being. In fact, often one of the parts I hate most about telling people that I'm "a type of asexual," is that I don't want to be thought of as a non-sexual being and I know that unless I explain my sexuality more fully than I'd like to, people will presume I'm completely non-sexual - "like a child" or whatever. Meanwhile I'm like, "doop de doo, I'll just be over here reading my extremely explicit, often kinky-as-fuck fanfic and getting off. Possibly multiple times."
