Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to others. Asexual individuals may still experience romantic attraction, but they do not feel the desire to engage in sexual activities. This orientation exists on a spectrum, with some people identifying as completely asexual, while others may experience occasional sexual attraction. Asexuality is often misunderstood, leading to misconceptions about asexual individuals being uninterested in relationships. In reality, many asexual people form deep emotional connections and may seek romantic partnerships. The Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) is a resource that provides information and support for those exploring asexuality.
