I understand the opposing prefixes and that, but when did using the term start? Why not "nonsexual" instead? Most educated people when they hear the term "asexual" think of invertebrate animals who can't have sex. I just don't comprehend why people would want to be classified in the same category as a microbe.

I don't know; when I realized there was actually a word for it, "asexual" was most used so I stuck with it. I think one of the goals of the greater community is to get the sexuality well-known enough that educated people won't immediately jump to single-celled organisms and the like when they hear the term used to describe people.

I think "asexual" sounds nicer than "nonsexual," me, but that's really just my opinion.

Most educated people realize words can have different meanings in different contexts.
