Asexuality is a sexual orientation. It is the ‘A’ in the LGBTQIA+ acronym. It defines a lack of sexual attraction. People who are asexual experience fewer feelings of sexual desire and ‘need’ that most other orientations do.

What little publicity we do get is often misunderstood; people confuse us with celibates or assume we’re just closeted and will grow out of it once we learn more about ourselves.
If you’ve known me for a while you’ll know I consider myself asexual. Although I mention it on my social media profiles, it’s not something I really talk about much on a day-to-day basis. In this section I talk about my experiences as an asexual, and how my asexuality influences my life.
