Asexual people simply do not feel sexual desire like most people, though they may like, admire, or love someone. If someone is repulsed by sex, they are not asexual.

I am gay (romantically and sexually attracted to males). In terms of gender, I am a cis-male.

Feels kind of lonely though. :frown:

Likely sexual orientation depends on the structure of the brain.

I'm straight, but I've never had much luck with the ladies, so bordering on asexual, in practice. I'm supposedly sort of attractive, but with such low charisma, it doesn't help much.
