asexué

Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to others. People who identify as asexual, often shortened to "ace," may or may not experience romantic attraction, and their experiences can vary widely. It is important to distinguish asexuality from celibacy or abstinence, which are choices to refrain from sexual activity, whereas asexuality is an inherent orientation.

Asexuality exists on a spectrum, and some asexual individuals may identify with terms such as demisexual (experiencing sexual attraction only after forming a strong emotional bond) or grey-asexual (experiencing sexual attraction rarely or with low intensity). Asexual individuals can have fulfilling romantic relationships, and their lack of sexual attraction does not preclude them from experiencing intimacy, love, or desire for companionship.

The asexual community uses various symbols, including the asexual pride flag, which features black, grey, white, and purple stripes, representing the asexual spectrum, lack of sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and community, respectively. Understanding asexuality as a valid sexual orientation is crucial for promoting inclusivity and dispelling misconceptions.
