I both agree and disagree with you. If someone is only having sex because their partner wants to and they might enjoy it on a purely physical level, but they wouldn't do it if they didn't have the partner that wanted to, then I think they can still count as asexual.

But the people (and I've actually seen several of them) who say they really enjoy sex, actively seek it out, and wouldn't want a relationship without sex but who somehow still identify as asexual...yeah, that's bullshit.

That was the point I was driving home, yeah. For some asexuals, engaging in sex is the equivalent of going to a movie you don't particularly want to see-- your partner enjoys it, it makes them happy, you enjoy making them happy, it doesn't actively hurt you, ergo it's a thing that can be done.

Yeah, that is definitely bullshit, though, I completely agree.

I don't agree with either. If you're enjoying sex on a "physical level" you are not asexual.

If you're having sex and it doesn't hurt, but you don't really feel anything either, then you're asexual.

Maybe "enjoying it" isn't the right wording (although asexual doesn't mean "doesn't enjoy sex" so it doesn't rule out them enjoying it) but maybe...get physical pleasure out of it? A dark example, but like someone else somewhere in this thread mentioned, rape victims can still get aroused/orgasm even though they absolutely DO NOT WANT IT.
