I'd say your libido is separate from your sexual orientation. You can be homosexual (only attracted to people of the same sex) and still have a low/nonexistent libido.

I'm guessing the majority of self-labeled asexuals have at one point expressed interest in the opposite sex, but never for the same sex. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Self-id asexual here but I'm not sure what interest in the opposite sex means. Feeling attracted? Wanting to do something? Because in my case I never really felt stuff to the opposite sex. When it comes to same sex there was one time I felt like being friends with that one person but it didn't feel anything like what people express as a crush or anything. I also didn't see this person as physically attractive but more intellectually (we had shared niche interests and it was exciting for me to know someone into the sane thing as me). But aside from it I am also very indifferent to same sex as well.
