Asexuality Is Real: Honoring the Spectrum of Human Connection
Asexuality, often shortened to “ace,” is a sexual orientation characterized by a lack (or low experience) of sexual attraction to others.
It’s not the same as:
Celibacy (a choice to abstain from sex, regardless of attraction)
Low libido (which can result from medical or psychological factors)
A trauma response (though some ace folks do have trauma, as do people of all orientations)
The key word here is attraction.
Asexuality is about how someone experiences desire, not about behavior, trauma history, or hormone levels.
