I totally understand asexuality in this context, I've just always hated the inaccurate label. But I'm not a fan of societal labels to begin with. I always have this image of a bunch of teenagers typing back and forth on the internet, trying to outdo each other by labeling themselves. "I'm homosexual." "I'm homosexual." "Yeah? Well I'm bisexual." "Well I'm omnisexual." "I'm pansexual." "Well I'm sick to death of your trite sexuality labels. Get off the internet and do your damn homework so you can take my job when I retire in 20 years."

IDK. Maybe because I've never hated myself for being attracted to or loving the people that I have, I've just never understood the need to apply such ridiculous (and mostly inaccurate) labels to myself. I have all kinds of other issues, just like anyone, but didn't grow up at a time when teens were pressured to identify themselves based on their sexuality and then broadcast it to everyone, so I can't relate at all. I find the whole thing ludicrous.

Yeeup. What seems to actually matter with asexuality is how much they're able to enjoy sex with a partner who is sexual. I would appreciate knowing if someone I was about to have sex with was doing it because a) they're as into having sex with me as I am with them, b) they just want to have sex, and are into me romantically, so they are getting something out of it even if it isn't anything about me specifically that they're getting off on, or c) they're just going along with it because it's what I want. I am not into having sex with c. Sex is not fun if I'm just being humored all the time.

Re labels and teens, I'm gonna be interested in seeing who is still seriously non binary when they're thirty. I've seen people dropping out of those labels by age 25, they all settle into being men/women who still don't meet with the lowest common denominator assumptions of men or women.
