Asexual… Am I, really?

How can you just not feel sexual attraction? Are you not human?”

Well, I think your definition of being human is way different more than mine. I don’t know what to tell you, but would the fact, that I too have a heart and a brain like you, suffice? I don’t feel sexual attraction because I’m actually the kind of plant that needs no other plant. (Just kidding) Why is sexual attraction the priority, anyway? I feel what I feel, I sincerely hope that I’m entitled to be whatever and whoever I want to be. Even if some people can’t digest that.

You’re like a robot. Don’t you have a heart?”

Again? Since repeating oneself is sign of insanity and tiresome. I’ll just comment that shouldn’t the question be, whether I have a libido or not? Get your facts right. Being Asexual just means that I can fall in love with you, I would want to hold hands with you and cuddle with you. Just not anything beyond that.

How would you know if you’ve never tried it?”

Okay, so. First of all, is consent not even a thing to you? If I don’t feel comfortable doing something then I shouldn’t have to do it. Secondly, not all asexuals are virgins. Come on. Most of us have tried stuff and just didn’t like it. Learn to respect our choices. Even if you feel that you know better. We are validated and deserve to be treated as such.
