Examples of Asexual in a Sentence

  1. Ellie Carlin:

    Before the advancement of technology I believe many who now identify as asexual knew they were somehow different from their peers but never truly understood themselves, however since the founding of AVEN and its website, many asexuals have gathered to better understand themselves. It was finally a place where you realized you weren't alone, nor were you a freak.

  2. Holly Madison:

    There was definitely, like, no romance or seduction or anything like that, the women were surrounding him. I never had casual sex with anybody before. I feel like I was kind of really asexual so maybe I just wasn’t ready for that. It was all very mechanical and robotic and you would kind of follow the other women’s lead.

  3. Brian Langevin:

    Regardless of any specific reason that someone might be identifying as asexual, their identity is valid, they probably put a lot of time and thought into that decision, so it's best to take that at face value and recognize that they understand their identity better than you do.

  4. Heather Runyan:

    For a long time I thought I was a late bloomer, i thought that I should feel attraction, but I didn't, so I felt like I was broken. When people asked, I just told them I was happy single and didn't feel the need to date. In my head, I often referred to myself as asexual, but I didn't realize that it was a valid orientation.

  5. Heather Runyan:

    We exist. That may sound simple, but too often when someone says they are asexual, the first response from others is to deny or question it, it also sends the message that there is something wrong with us. I do not need to be fixed or cured, I am asexual and that's OK.
