Asexuality is a sexual orientation where individuals, known as “aces,” experience little to no sexual attraction or interest in sexual activities. It’s essential to recognize asexuality as a valid identity, fostering inclusivity and understanding. Asexual individuals can still have emotional, romantic, and platonic attractions, forming deep connections without sexual focus.
Signs of asexuality include a consistent lack of sexual desire and indifference towards sexual activities. Asexuality exists across cultures, affecting 0.6% to 5.5% of the population. It is not a choice but an inherent aspect of one’s identity. Asexual individuals may still seek love and physical intimacy like cuddling, without sexual elements.
