Oh man, I could've written this! I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

I've never understood why "how much interest you have in sex" is also considered a part of sexual orientation. I've always viewed sexual orientation to be "the sex/gender/whatever you are interested in having sex with". But "how much sex you want" is just a measure of your personal sex drive, isn't it? Not your orientation? For example, I'm like you--I pretty much consider myself straight, but I know I have a very low interest in having sex myself, and I'm still a virgin.

I don't know. I wish I had a better response, but I got excited since I haven't really found anyone else who feels like this. orz

I think because asexual people have no interest in having sex.

But what makes someone asexual is that they are not sexually attracted to anyone of any gender. Therefore the lack of interest naturally follows, but it's more a side effect than a qualifier.

Not exactly. It means we don't actively seek sex, but a good number of us wouldn't necessarily turn it down, whether bc sex can feel good or bc we want to please our partners.

Well, if you view sexual orientation as "the sex/gender/whatever you're interested in having sex with", then asexuality would be "no one".
