    I’m glad that Asexuality is getting more attention. So many people have said, “Well, you must be attracted to somebody.” To me it’s like admiring a pretty vase, or a work of art. I can see that it’s beautiful, but I still don’t want to have relations with it.

        I think if that was the case, Ace people would just stick to “sure things?”

        Edit: Also, ace people can have relationships. It can’t be about rejection if Ace people have people asking and accepting offers to be with them.

          Reproduction is a fundamental driving force in human behavior. I refuse to believe there are truly asexual people who aren’t neurodivergent.

            If the neurodivergency is their sexuality then maybe? What about homosexual people? Because that’s not going to result in offspring either.

              Homosexuality is still sexuality. The same driving force is behind it, it just doesn’t result in reproduction.
