Asexual means not being SEXUALLY attracted to people.

You can look at someone and think they are attractive in that you think they're nice to look at (some people describe it as being like looking at a nice painting or a sunset), this is called aesthetic attraction.

If you don't look at anyone and feel like you want to have sex with them, then that means you aren't sexually attracted to anyone and meet the definition of asexual (even if you don't want to use the term, which of course is totally fine).

Technically not being interested in sex doesn't HAVE to go along with being asexual although it frequently does (and I personally can't fathom why you'd want to have sex with someone you're not sexually attracted to but apparently some asexuals just like sex for its own sake).

Those people are not asexual. Hope that clears up the confusion.

Yeah, I don't really consider it asexual either (but then, I think the definition of asexual should be different than what it "officially" is) but if we're going by the lack of sexual attraction ONLY, I guess it's theoretically possible? I mean, I have friends who will have sex with people they aren't attracted to just because they're horny, so I guess a person who isn't sexually attracted to ANYONE could still just have sex with someone because they like how it feels physically.

Like I said, I personally don't get having sex with someone you're not attracted to, but people do it, so it is a thing that exists.
