Are there people who are neither Gay, nor straight, nor bi-sexual? I mean, are there 'non-sexual' people?

Question

Are there people who simply have no sexual prefrences? They're not interested in same sex nor opposite sex? Essentially their natural disposition is not being interested in any sex? Does this exist? And, if so, what's it called?

Answer 1

Yeah its called Christains

------ I'm just kiddin peeps I thought it just sounded funny.

Asexual People is the term.

Answer 2

Yes there are people who have no interest in sex.

They could be non sexual or they could be A sexual, and there are many people that have chosen not to be sexual at all with themselves (A sexual) or with anyone else.

I would imagine that there are gay, straight/ bi or what have you who do not have, need or want sex. So the desire or choice not to have sex does not mean they do not have a sexual orientation or "preference" .

People who have sex only with themselves would be A sexual and people who choose no to have sex would be celibate, (non sexual) .

Answer 3

yes, there is such a thing known as 'asexuality'. It's sometimes caused by hormone imbalances. They still like friendship and hugs, but have no sexual desire for either sex, or sex itself - they are happy just the way they are!

Answer 4

An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. Asexuality does not make our lives any worse or any better, we just face a different set of challenges than most sexual people. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community, each asexual person experiences things like relationships, attraction, and arousal somewhat differently. Asexuality is just beginning to be the subject of scientific research.

Relationships
Asexual people have the same emotional needs as anyone else, and like in the sexual community we vary widely in how we fulfill those needs. Some asexual people are happier on their own, others are happiest with a group of close friends. Other asexual people have a desire to form more intimate romantic relationships, and will date and seek long-term partnerships. Asexual people are just as likely to date sexual people as we are to date each other.

Sexual or nonsexual, all relationships are made up of the same basic stuff. Communication, closeness, fun, humor, excitement and trust all happen just as much in sexual relationships as in nonsexual ones. Unlike sexual people, asexual people are given few expectations about the way that our intimate relationships will work. Figuring out how to flirt, to be intimate, or to be monogamous in a nonsexual relationships can be challenging, but free of sexual expectations we can form relationships in ways that are grounded in our individual needs and desires.

Attraction
Many asexual people experience attraction, but we feel no need to act out that attraction sexually. Instead we feel a desire to get to know someone, to get close to them in whatever way works best for us. Asexual people who experience attraction will often be attracted to a particular gender, and will identify as gay, bi, or straight.

Arousal
For some sexual arousal is a fairly regular occurrence, though it is not associated with a desire to find a sexual partner or partners. Some will occasionally masturbate, but feel no desire for partnered sexuality. Other asexual people experience little or no arousal. Because we don’t care about sex, asexual people generally do not see a lack of sexual arousal as a problem to be corrected, and focus their energy on enjoying other types of arousal and pleasure.

Note: People do not need sexual arousal to be healthy, but in a minority of cases a lack of arousal can be the symptom of a more serious medical condition. If you do not experience sexual arousal or if you suddenly lose interest in sex you should probably check with a doctor just to be safe.

Identity
Most people on AVEN have been asexual for our entire lives. Just as people will rarely and unexpectedly go from being straight to gay, asexual people will rarely and unexpectedly become sexual or vice versa. Another small minority will think of themselves as asexual for a brief period of time while exploring and questioning their own sexuality.

There is no litmus test to determine if someone is asexual. Asexuality is like any other identity- at its core, it’s just a word that people use to help figure themselves out. If at any point someone finds the word asexual useful to describe themselves, we encourage them to use it for as long as it makes sense to do so.

Answer 5

I am not kidding, my friend Ed is the most sexually disinterested person in the world. The funny part is that his wife of 10 years is a complete horn-ball.

He puts out just to shut her up.

Answer 6

Does that include masturbation?
Maybe it's called a christian who hasn't found the perfect soul mate partner love of their life etc. Or
A person who is over the bullshit and is staying single.

Answer 7

Yes there are.

And you answered your own question. They're called non-sexual or asexual

Answer 8

Yes, I would definately expore the word "asexual." I am actually thinking of being asexual! It gets rid of all the drama! (To each their own.)

Answer 9

"Asexual" I think you mean?

I mean, I think it's possible if someone just doesn't have any natural sex drive at all. I don't know how common it is though.

Answer 10

Yeah I read somewhere that Morrisey was supposed to be asexual.
