Ok but like whats even the point of being asexual if you enjoy having sex? isn't the point of being ace being that you Dont like sex? like you can't just be normal with a low sex drive? or are you being coerced into having sex because that's kinda yikes

Asexual is lack of ATTRACTION. Not libido, not lack of ability. ATTRACTION. And there’s no “point” to being ace just like theyres no “point” to being a lesbian, you just are

libido/sex drive/being turned on ≠ sexual attraction i have romantic attraction, but not sexual attraction. i am in love with my partner, but don’t feel a particular desire for sex with them in particular. however, i still have a sex drive, and would be fine having a sexual partner or not. both my partner and i enjoy sex because it’s fun and feels good, but there’s not any specific sexual attraction between us

The scene: yesterday, diner time. My partner and I were hungry. I really wanted Chinese. My partner had no opinion on what they wanted. They didn’t necessarily really really want Chinese, but had nothing against the idea. So we got some Chinese and both liked it. I was happy to get Chinese and they were happy to get food and that I was happy. This is not about Chinese food.

It's about seeing a human.. Thinking they're NICE (this is called a romantic emotional attraction) And NOT wanting to fuck them. Or finding them SEX-<(THIS MEANS DESIRE TO FUCK)-UALLY attractive at all

Asexual people don’t experience the mental sexual attraction to other people. they still have fully functioning genitals and it you touch them it feels good. Some ace people fuck, some don’t. It’s really none of anyone else’s business.

ok but like who are you having sex with if you’re not attracted to anyone? or are you just touching yourself in front of them?

some people do it with their partner, friends or hookups because they like the feeling.

ok but like how are they getting turned on if they aren’t attracted to anyone? and why are they having sex with people they aren’t attracted to? do they get turned on by abstract concepts?

Asexuality is “about” not having sexual attraction either partly or fully lacking that attraction

in terms of your question about coercion, assuming it’s genuine, think about it like this: you and your partner want to go on a date. you don’t really care what you do, but they really want to go to a museum. you don’t really want to go to any museum in particular, but you’re okay with paying the fee and traveling there if your partner wants too. ofc not a perfect analogy, but similar concept for some ace people. not a chore or coercion, just not something they’d think of

Oh I can explain this, it’s actually rather interesting. Imagine someone waved their hand and made it so you never need to eat again, nor would you ever feel hungry. You might still eat food on occasion because it tastes good, but you if you never ate again in your life, you would be totally fine. THAT’s the idea behind asexual sex-positive people. It’s not that they don’t enjoy sex, it’s that they don’t CRAVE it. They don’t feel any sort of negative feelings if deprived of sex.
