First off, let me just say that there will be sexual terms in this blog because this topic deals with sex. However it is being used in an educational manner therefore it should not really affect you that much, enjoy the blog. I also want to warn you that the text may change fonts, I've tried to keep it one font but for some reason when I copied my Microsoft word text it said there were two fonts, so sorry about that. Well here we go (I guess it didn't take me as long as I thought, I guess that's good news).
Sexually oblivious rhino strikes again
What exactly does it mean to be asexual? Well according to Wikipedia it is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only. However I am not going to talk about that kind of asexuality and instead I’m going to talk about the human asexual orientation. Asexual in this context means a lack of sexual attraction and the lack of interest in or desire for sex.
Simple and easy right? Well not quite as there are many different subtypes of asexuals or similar orientations to that of asexuals:
1. 1. Aromantic asexual: These are the people who don’t want a relationship nor do they want sex.
2. 2. Demisexual: These are the people who do not have sexual attraction until they grow very close to a person.
3. 3. Gray-A: These people either have low sexual attraction, don’t experience sexual attraction that much, don’t have a desire to act out on their sexual attraction, or people who only like or want sex under certain circumstances.
4. 4. Bi/hetero/homo/pan romantic asexual: These are the people who are romantically attracted to others but do not desire sex.
Things you may not know:
+ Asexuals can find people attractive (not in a sexual way but an aesthetic way. It’s a way of seeing that someone is beautiful and instead of wanting to have sex with them they may want to go out with them and get to know them).
+ Asexuals can have sex and may enjoy it, even though some asexuals think that sex is disgusting.
+ Some asexuals enjoy pleasing their partner with sex and such, even if they do not have a desire to have sex themselves.
+ Some asexuals masturbate and watch porn
+ BDSM seems somewhat popular with asexuals (most likely because it’s more about psychology than sex).
+ Some asexuals can be sexual arousal
+ Many asexuals are sex-positive (pro sex), however some of them are antisexual (againt sex)
+ Some asexuals can joke about sex like everyone else. However other asexuals don’t seem to get sex jokes and thus the humor is lost on them.
+ Some asexuals are oblivious to flirting and some aren’t
(+) I think that you can still be asexual but interested in researching sex, just as long as you don’t have a desire for it. In this context the researching about sex is more like researching about mythology and the like since it’s something you don’t really care to do [like worshipping Zeus] and it can also be psychological such as why some people like certain things. This is kind of like me, I like reading about this kind of thing because it helps me get a better understanding of different people, and their kink/fetish however I don’t really imagine doing most of the research I look up.
So what am I? Well I’m pretty sure I’m a heteroromantic asexual (At least people on AVEN thought so, and it does kind of make sense. I could also be demisexual but I’ll have to get a girlfriend to find out, and since I am very particular in personality to want to go out with a woman that might be a while lol I’m also pretty oblivious to flirting lol). But why would you care to know :P

So there you go hopefully that's talked about major points, if you have anything you want to add feel free to do so in the comments, or if you want me to go deeper into asexuality, or if there's something more you wanted me to discuss, just say so in the comments and I'll make a blog about it.
