Asexual is a bit of an umbrella term.

There are many people who identify as Asexual who have a sex drive and want to have sex, they just do not feel sexual attraction to other people.

Some only develop attraction to another person once an emotional connection is formed.

Others want a romantic relationship with someone but do not want the sex that often goes along with it.

Those are just a few examples of some of the different forms of asexuality.

So yeah, an ace person in a fanfic may want to have sex with a non-ace character, and there might be a conversation about that. I'm not sure it would be an interesting conversation for a fanfic though.

"Asexual is a bit of an umbrella term."

As it's used now, yes. But it shouldn't be. Asexual people can have sex for various reasons (wanting to please their partner, wanting to get pregnant, etc.) but anyone who actually seeks it out because THEY want it, who say they love it and couldn't live without it, who say they wouldn't be able to be in a relationship without sex...those people are NOT asexual, no matter what they claim. People say it's about sexual attraction, but what purpose does that definition serve when sexual attraction is this nebulous thing that no one seems able to define and when it has zero effect on someone's life and the type of relationships they have, other than being able to use a term?

Someone should be able to say they're asexual without getting questions like "are you the type of asexual who likes sex? how often do you want to do it?" If a guy says "I'm gay", he doesn't get questions like "are you the type of gay guy who has sex with women?" Gay has a single, narrow definition, and everyone knows what it means. When it comes to asexual, there's a double standard, and it's frustrating.

To use the example that you’ve shared above, being gay is about being sexually attracted to men. What it’s not about is what kind of sex you like to have and how often.

When you say that only sex-repulsed asexuals count, you are exactly the same as someone claiming that all men who like to take it up the ass are gay and only men who like to take it up the ass are gay.

It’s ignorant, at best.

You are completely twisting my argument, I literally never said anything about what kind of sex anyone has, or how often. All I'm saying is if people want to be consistent with definitions, then:

Straight = has sex with the opposite sex
Gay = has sex with the same sex
Bi/pansexual/etc. = has sex with both/all sexes
Asexual = has sex with no one

None of that is saying anything about any specific sexual acts, just who (meaning what gender(s)) someone has sex with. You are deliberately misunderstanding me.

Well, none of those are the accurate definition, so you're just arguing with statements nobody has made.
