"Asexuals"

From asexuality.org:

Asexual: A person who does not experience sexual attraction.

Is that really believable?
I can comprehend a person not being particularly sexual/sensual - I'm like that myself, but to not find anyone sexually attractive... surely that's an impossibility (deballed men excluded).

I find that to be very stange :S

In a word: puberty. All that hormonal change only to emerge the other side and - nothing. It doesn't ring true.

I heard that late Autumn was the time where humans used to mate so everyone is full of lust. I have noticed myself checking out every single female that walks past me, though that is probably just because I'm a bloke.

Maybe they were sexually abused or repressed as a kid and they are blocking it out their mind.

I don't care, it just means more for me!

Hands off Monkey

Yes that's probably the reason, I have the same affliction.

I have a friend who we think is asexual. He masks it by jumping on everything in site. Yet when you ask him who he thinks is attractive he can't answer.

Is he a mute by any chance?

That's physically impossible, at least for the vast majority. I guess they could hide their feelings, or vow not to have sexual encounters again from experience, but in both cases they'll still be experiencing sexual attraction.

Conclusion: they lie.

I don't know why people have such an issue with this.

Why is it physically impossible to not feel attaction?
