Asexuals do have sex

Well then they’re not asexual.

I used to be adamant that asexuals exist, but now I’m convinced that they’re made up. Maybe I’m wrong, but Pink News has certainly failed to prove me wrong.

The only "asexuals" I've met are people who've gone through trauma or are in clear need of counseling for personal issues. It's not that they don't have sexual interests; it's that they're so bad at human interactions that they withdraw from them and label themselves as too special to need physical contact.

They're not asexual. They're just not terribly interested in having sex frequently, sometimes due to underlying stuff that could benefit from counseling, and sometimes just because they're not that into sex.

I do know an asexual who hasn't (as far as I understand) gone through any trauma, but he is also quite autistic and has also been taking an absolute fuckton of adderall since he was a child. Like, 100mg a day. For perspective, I occasionally take it, and if I take more than 20mg I'm bouncing off the walls.

I don't know if there is any demonstrated effects of that much chronic use of amphetamines on one's sexuality, but I could easily imagine it might.
