asexuální

Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to others. People who identify as asexual, often referred to as "aces," may still experience romantic attraction, gender attraction, or aesthetic attraction. Romantic attraction refers to the desire to engage in romantic relationships, which can be with people of any gender regardless of sexual orientation. Gender attraction refers to attraction to a person based on their gender identity. Aesthetic attraction is the appreciation of someone's appearance.

The asexual spectrum is diverse. Some asexual individuals may experience very little or no sexual attraction, while others may experience it under specific circumstances or with certain people. Asexuality is not the same as celibacy, which is a choice to abstain from sexual activity. Asexual individuals may or may not engage in sexual activity for various reasons, such as for a partner's pleasure or to alleviate libido, but this does not negate their asexual identity.

Common misconceptions about asexuality include the belief that it is a medical condition, a phase, or a result of trauma. In reality, asexuality is a valid sexual orientation and is considered a natural variation of human sexuality. Asexual individuals can have fulfilling relationships, including romantic ones, and lead happy and complete lives. Community and visibility are important for asexual people, helping to reduce stigma and foster understanding.
