Re: unpopular opinions

First of all, this isn't at all an unpopular opinion, it's one of the most common things asexual people hear.

Second, asexuality isn't about sex drive, it's about sexual attraction. I've heard before that they're the same thing, or that they must go hand in hand, but I think that just means that the person who's saying that obviously isn't asexual.

I'm someone who (sometimes) identifies as asexual. I DO have a sex drive, I'm just not sexually attracted to anyone, like it isn't "directed" anywhere. I've seen people describe it as being hungry and standing in front of the refrigerator and nothing sounds good.

The split attraction model I'm torn on. On the one thing I think it's useful because I absolutely experience it, I've definitely been romantically attracted to people, although I wasn't sexually attracted to them, but I also agree with where the author of that blog post linked above is coming from. It's a complicated subject.
