Asexual

Someone who is asexual is a person who does not feel any sexual attraction, to anyone. Asexuality is another kind of sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality, and describes only sexual attraction. Asexual people can still form intimate emotional relationships and have crushes, but are simply not interested in sex and do not have sexual desire. Asexual people often must undergo a "coming out" process, just as someone who is homosexual does, since society normally assumes all people experience sexual desire.
