It’s estimated 1% of people in the UK has identify themselves as asexual. Asexuality is described as an orientation, unlike celibacy which is a choice.
- Asexuals do not experience sexual attraction
- Some people describe realising they were asexual as “coming home”, or finally understanding who they were
- It is not known whether asexuality is something a person experiences for their entire life or for a period of time
- For a lot of asexuals, sex and romance are decoupled. Some asexuals have very close friendships, while some have romantic but not sexual relationships
- For asexuals that do experience romantic attraction, some identify themselves as hetero or gay or lesbian asexuals

The Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), the main online hub for the asexual community, stresses that emotional needs vary widely in the asexual community, just as they do in the “sexual” community.
Although this topic has been mention in the scientific community, it would contain the clue why some people have no sexual attrations.
The Launch of AVEN an asexual community has open people eyes that asexuality does exsist and isn’t a disorder.
This community was founded since 2001 by David Jay with two distinct goals: creating public acceptance and discussion of asexuality and facilitating the growth of an asexual community. Since that time it has grown to host the world’s largest asexual community, serving as an informational resource for people who are asexual and questioning, their friends and families, academic researchers and the press. AVEN members throughout the world regularly engage in visibility projects, included but not limited to distributing informational pamphlets, leading workshops, arranging local meetups and speaking to interested press.
The AVEN community centers around the web forum, which provides a safe space for asexual and questioning people and their partners, friends and families to discuss their experiences.

It doesn’t seem normal, but i imagine you will find that what ever stimulates the bodies sexual desire is missing from these people.

Interesting piece. Mother Nature creates variety for a reason: one which may not be obvious to us.
Thanks,
