An asexual person does not experience sexual attraction. Commonly shortened to “ace,” as in “ace community.” “Asexual people have the same emotional needs as everybody else and are just as capable of forming intimate relationships.” People who identify as asexual can be sex-favorable (willing to have sex, open to finding ways for sex to be enjoyable for themselves and/or their partner(s)), sex-indifferent (may not enjoy sex or pursue sex, but not distressed by sex and/or the thought of sex), sex-averse/repulsed (possibly distressed by the thought of having sex, may not be willing to compromise with partner(s)), and/or anywhere in between.
