My 33-year-old cousin is asexual, and admittedly I didn't understand what asexual was, I thought it was a word for not wanting a relationship. But after talking to my cousin about it, I've learnt that he wants babies and he doesn't want to be asexual, but hasn't got a choice.
I think that's really interesting. I understand that sexuality isn't a choice, but I also know that sexuality (such as homosexuality) isn't anything to be ashamed of or something one would want to change, but some people who are asexual can feel ashamed or sad or want help, and I'd understand that.
So I feel sorry for my cousin. He's still young, and it's like he wants to be a part of the dating world but because he's asexual it won't happen. He says he feels no sexual or romantic feelings for anybody, men or women. He must feel quite lonely, if he's asexual but doesn't want to be.
I thought I'd try and educate myself about it a little more. What's it like for you (if you're asexual)?
