asexuality as an umbrella term means "little to no sexual attraction". there's demi, grey, aego, caed (cad?), and all other ... subs ... of sexual attraction under that umbrella. asexual itself is the "no sexual attraction" part of that umbrella. but just to throw some more complications into it; attraction isn't the same as action! someone can be just asexual or any of the identities under the umbrella and still have sex. some folk may confuse this action for attraction, but bumping uglies doesn't un-ace someone anymore than not bumping uglies un-allos others.

In short, asexuality is a spectrum, generally defined by "experiencing little to no sexual attraction". The "little" can vary greatly by person. And aces with no sexual attraction can still have sex. All of these things (attraction, libido, and the act of sex itself) can be completely separate, depending on the individual's experience. I suggest looking at the sidebar for a lot of helpful links, or just search for what others have said. These questions come up all the time. 😆 June 15, 2023 at 10:46PM
