  Asexuality is about not experiencing sexual attraction, not about being interested in sex or not.

    Forgive me, but to me not experiencing sexual attraction reads the same as “not being interested” because you don’t experience sexual attraction. Cheers.

      To answer the question in the brackets that I think was edited in, it’s not about being attracted to sex itself or not, it’s about not being attracted to someone sexually (as in not finding a person sexually attractive). But sex can still be interesting and/or enjoyable to someone for various reasons besides being attracted to someone.

      No, I corrected my post with more detail, hope you can see the edit.

      Anyway, no people can be interested in sex for other reasons like enjoying the physical sensations etc, just because someone isn’t sexually attracted to someone doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the act itself.

        I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

        …

        …just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex ~sometimes~. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.
