This, except it wasn't my mother, but my best friend. Said best friend went so far as to tell me that asexuality "isn't a sexual orientation," that I just "haven't found the right person yet," that she's "worried about me," and that if someone is asexual then it's because they "had something really bad happen to them earlier in life." All of this, because apparently Dr. Drew said something to that effect on Loveline.

It just . . . made me really frustrated and hurt, especially since she wouldn't listen to anything I was telling her, but I know she's far from the only person who feels this way.

Re: Being worried about you, or something bad has happened to make you asexual. That's horrible. I haven't heard that, only that it ~doesn't exist~. :(

I haven't tried telling anyone else because of similar feelings, frustration and hurt. If my family can't accept that it's real, and that I truly do know my own sexuality, how can others who know me even less? I am romantically attracted to men so I slide by in conversations with friends about boyfriends etc. but as much as I love them, I cannot see them understanding me.

I've definitely also had the experience of people assuming that asexuality is a disorder or disease, and can be caused by trauma. Which certainly there are people who do not want sex due to sexual abuse...but it's hardly ever the case. I had to stop seeing a particular doctor because she felt I needed help for not having sex (I'm on birth control for a reproductive disease and have to answer questions about my sexual activity, which going on 30 years old, I have not had nor sought).
