For people supposedly not interested in sex, they don’t half witter on about it a lot. I’m not interested in women’s crown green bowls, guess what, I don’t spend a second of my day thinking about women’s crown green bowls.

I certainly don’t go and troll the old ladies playing bowls at the green five minutes from my house. It has never, until just now, crossed my mind to do such a thing.

People who identify as asexual have taken to US confession site Whisper to lift the lid on their love lives.

Asexual people typically don't experience sexual attraction, and while they can have meaningful relationships - sex is not involved, because they usually don't feel the urge.

This can make it tough to date, as one woman from Ontario, Canada admitted - saying that 'most guys want sex, and when they find out you are asexual they leave'.

One person from Paganhill in the UK revealed that they were in fact a 'grey ace' something potential suitors would find confusing.

A grey ace is a subset orientation on the asexual spectrum and means that the individual can experience sexual attraction, but only rarely, or in particular situations.

A common confession was that dating sites do not cater for asexual people and that they need an 'ace Tinder' style dating app instead.

However one person got their own back, saying they 'trolled' dating sites for 'fun'.
