Talk:Asexuality/Archive 4

2298:. I am well-versed in most sexual topics, which is why I work on such Knowledge articles. But I don't see rape as the same thing in this case, because I wasn't talking about people's bodies responding against their will. People who are being raped are not sexually aroused going into the act (unless they were already about to have sex, but one person changed their mind), and most never reach the point of sexual arousal during rape. What we were/are talking about are people who are already sexually aroused or become sexually aroused by the thought of what they are about to do. I questioned what has caused sexual arousal in an asexual that he or she "needs sexual release." My point was that people don't just become sexually aroused out of nowhere (with the exception of "accidental erections"). There is stimuli that makes them sexually aroused. I have talked with asexual individuals on AVEN (asexuality.org) who have been open about the fact that the thought of a person gets them sexually aroused, but that they would rather masturbate than have sex with that person. By definition, getting sexually aroused by the thought of a person is sexual attraction. 2557:" men and women in their studies about heterosexuals, because they have a clear sexual preference for the opposite sex. The same goes for their inclusion of "homoflexible" people in their studies about gays and lesbians. My point is... Just like there is more than one definition of "lesbian" among researchers, there is more than one definition of "asexual" among researchers. And people, too. That is what you are seeing with this article. Researchers define what sexual orientation is, and if they say that asexuality is defined as "little to no sexual attraction," which they do, then that is what we must do as well. That is the point you are missing. That is what Nick is trying to tell you below. It's not as though these researchers are defining any type of person as asexual. They have restricted the definition to "little to no." They have done that because of the large number of people who experience a little sexual attraction but never have the desire to engage in sex with a person...and thus identify as asexual. 2605:

so I don't need to stress that. I also provided a reliable source of a woman labeled asexual in a study, who said, "I am sexually attracted to men but have no desire or need to engage in sexual or even non-sexual activity (cuddling, hand-holding, etc.)." In my opinion, that does fit the definition of asexuality. This woman has no desire/need to engage in sexual activity. Without there being any clue that this is due to low libido or sexual dysfunction. And, really, even people with low libido still generally want to engage in sex. So saying this woman is not asexual, when there is no hint that she is abstaining from sex due to celibacy or sexual dysfunction reasons, is "off" to me. That is where I find your definition of asexuality limited. Either way, it is not up to me or you to define asexuality as a whole. AVEN can define asexuality how they want, but it all comes down to how researchers define the term. They are the authorities on sexual orientation, whether you or AVEN likes it or not.

1966:

majority of individuals lie somewhere near the average concerning a given trait (in this case, sexuality). However, the farther you move from this average (i.e., the more extreme a deviation), the fewer individuals are described by the value at a given point (that is to say, the more extreme a category, the fewer who fall into it). But a bell curve, in theory, never touches the X axis - there is always a non-zero Y value for every value of X. This means that, within some limitation, even the most extreme deviations from the average can describe at least a few members of the population. Thus, the bell curve demonstrates the statistical possibility that a small number of people genuinely do not have any sex drive at all. If you wish to remove the bell curve again, you would have to start by demonstrating that the above is not a legitimate rationale for its use. If you want to see an example of a psychologist invoking the bell curve to demonstrate asexuality, watch the following video:

refer to the existence of only two sexes, many people today prefer to used the prefix "pan" (I have not yet met a biromantically- or bisexually-identified person who rules out the possibility of being attracted to gender variant people, but I suppose it is theoretically possible, hence the use of the more inclusive term, panromantic (or pansexual in the case of sexual people). As for polyromantic, I haven't personally heard that term before, but I have certainly heard and used the term polyamorous, which refers to romantic relationships and/or romantic attraction between more than two people, so being a reasonably active member of the asexual community myself and not having personally heard the term polyromantic before, it appears to me that it should be replaced with panromantic, and that an additional mention should be made of polyamorous. I feel confident making this change, and perhaps polyromantic could be readded if someone is able to provide some proof of its use.

190:

Michael et al. (Boston: Little, Brown, or N.Y.: Warner, 1994), both using the same data and criticized for understating the Lesbian/gay population (so maybe they understated the asexual population, too), but the data is separate from the argument about smallness, and the data is what should be cited. I think the data was tabulated in chapter 7 of Sex in America, the lay book in which there's a sentence from which one could understandably but incorrectly infer that 99% of men and 96% of women are heterosexual, figures that are probably due to nonparallelism of definitions (usually nonparallelism is due to relying on an expansive definition of heterosexuality (a man who leafs through pictures of naked women must be het) and a narrow definition of gayness (a man must be in bed with a man and exciting sexual organs in order to qualify as gay and anything less is not gay). So I suspect the 3% and 10% figures likely understate what they represent.

homosexual, I have used that example plenty of times on and off Knowledge for various types of arguments regarding sexuality. The same goes for a heterosexual person having sex with someone of the same sex. What you cited is the reason there is such a big bisexuality debate, with those saying "true bisexuality doesn't exist" or that "everyone is bisexual." Also, in your example, the fact remains that the homosexual individual is often fantasizing about the same sex while having sex with the opposite sex. There was something being used to sexually arouse the person. And if not sexually aroused at all by the opposite sex, then what caused the sexual arousal? The same applies to studying asexuality. If an asexual person is not sexually attracted to either sex, then what is causing the sexual arousal? You believe that people become sexually aroused without being sexually attracted to anything? If so, I'd like to see a

2290:" If a gay or lesbian person (most prefer those terms to "homosexual") is sexually aroused in any way by the thought of having sex with the opposite sex, how is that not sexual attraction? That is what researchers debate all the time -- the great bisexuality debate -- with regard to heterosexuals who have sex with the same sex as well. There are different interpretations of and beliefs about bisexuality. Plenty of gay men say that they cannot become sexually aroused by the thought of having sex with a woman and that they never got sexually aroused while trying to engage in sex with a woman. So why is it different for the gay men who can become sexually aroused in such situations, disregarding the ones who sexually fantasize about other men during the act? Some researchers would say that this is because these men are not completely at the end of "the gay side" of the 2198:

to anyone) and never engages in sexual activity be considered asexual? I'm going to have to say yes. I believe "asexual" fits that woman better than "celibate" or any other term would, unless she truly is suffering from some type of sexual dysfunction. It's hardly any different than people who identify as lesbian but occasionally have sex with men (see your "gay but having sex with the opposite sex" argument above). To me, your argument on the correct way to define asexuality is no different than lesbians who tell other lesbians how they must identify. We have to let people identify by the term they feel best describes them. For example, though asexuality.org (which are not the authority on asexuality, by the way), says

term and thus it should be marked as such, the title of the article should be given to the proper asexuality, not this. this article should be given a new title so as not to promote the use of this, and it is physically impossible for a human to be completely void of all sexual desires, many people can refrain from getting erections and many people only want a relationship for the love not the sex, that is true, but it is also true that all humans are born with hormones, the only way for you to be truly asexual is to rid your body of testosterone and estrogen, just because a person does not WANT sex, or cannot be AROUSED doesn't make them asexual, so in conclusion this article needs some editing, and a change of title. (

used by the latter tend to overtake those historically created to get discussions started. Some of these specialists and organizations publish a few definitions in their formal publications, and sometimes those are more relevant than those in dictionaries or glossaries, but not always. Among dictionaries, some are considered primary and others derivative, which is a bit confusing within Knowledge, because a primary dictionary is generally accepted as a secondary source for Knowledge and a derivative dictionary may be allowed in Knowledge as a tertiary source but not as a replacement for a WP secondary source or as a replacement for a primary dictionary. To sort that out: A dictionary like the

states, "The Kinsey Institute sponsored another small survey on the topic in 2007, which found that self-identified asexuals 'reported significantly less desire for sex with a partner, lower sexual arousability, and lower sexual excitation but did not differ consistently from non-asexuals in their sexual inhibition scores or their desire to masturbate.'" It says "less" and "lower," not "non." I personally have studied many things, including asexuality, but I don't understand it that well; in fact, it is the least understood by most sexual experts. Still, I usually take an asexual's word about what they are or are not sexually aroused by...if anything.

2391:. For example, I could identify as heterosexual, say, but if I only feel attracted to other people of the same sex and only have sex with people of the same sex, then that doesn't change the meaning of heterosexuality, it just means that I choose to identify that way, without my attractions necessarily fitting the definition of heterosexuality. The same is true of asexuality. The asexual community is very welcoming of many different people who might choose to try on the asexual label and see if it suits them, but this doesn't change the basic nature of what asexuality is in an objective, definable sense: asexuality is the absence of sexual 622:

that love is about feelings not about sexual desire, but the fact is that no matter what, so long as you have testosterone or estrogen in your body there is no physical way to be completely rid of sexual desires, it is implanted in your brain. ALSO if you look in a proper dictionary (not an online dictionary) you will find that the definition of asexuality is the ability to mate and reproduce with yourself. This article is not deserving of the title asexuality, the title should be changed. So once an "asexual" can prove to me that they have both a penis and a vagina and can reproduce with no help, then i will believe that they are asexual.

isn't a worldview or a set of beliefs, it is a single position. Theism isn't a religion for the same reason. Deism is (or could be) because it involves at least the belief in one God, and the belief that that God no longer interacts with the world. When asexuality is included in the category "sexual orientation", it is because a sexual orientation is a person's enduring pattern of romantic and/or sexual attraction. When it's not it's because "sexual orientation", it is because sexual orientation is defined with respect tothe target of that attraction, and if there is no targe there is no orientation. -

2634:

define it in a way that isn't as strict as Jay's definition of "no sexual attraction." His entire community is made up of some people who experience a little sexual attraction but do not want to engage in sex because they are disinterested in it for the same or slightly different reasons that he is. And yet these people shouldn't be considered "real asexuals"? Researchers clearly disagree. And as I already made clear, they are the authorities on sexual orientation. Always have been. Sources that are considered "more reliable" or "better" for the reasons Nick stated below are available in the article.

2656:

would attempt to fix this. I took that to mean that you would either be changing or removing what these reliable sources are saying about the term. We get that you believe the article should reflect the strict definition of "no sexual attraction whatsoever." The problem is that would not accurately reflect the research...and would be changing information in a limited way. We cannot do that. We cannot have the lead imply or say that asexuals never experience sexual attraction, given the way this conflicts with researchers' and some self-identified asexuals' definitions of asexuality.

588:

like the two don't usually go hand in hand. If a gay man becomes even a little sexually aroused by a sexual act that he is about to perform on a woman, that is sexual attraction in some form. I have known gay men who fit that bill, but they do not identify as bisexual because they have "close to zero" sexual attraction to women and/or say they have no true desire to have sex with women. But back to asexuals... Some asexuals also say they cannot become sexually aroused because they are not sexually attracted to anything. By your definition, they are confusing the terms as well.

3198:

fairly good. Some sentences from the introduction should be in the research section. Make sure before you edit to get your facts straight and don't base them off your opinions. The edits made to the article are well done and maybe adding a few more might help. The citations are good although there are a few that need to be in APA format. Also the inline citations look good and there are a lot, so the article looks creditable. The editing on this article so far looks decent, but can improve a lot. By adding more factual information the article can become much better.

2294:. Others researchers would simply explain it as "some people are sexual opportunists" and can become sexually aroused just by the thought of having sex or seeing people have sex. A good example is lesbians who watch gay male porn and become sexually aroused by it...but would never want to have sex with a man. On that note, however, if an asexual is sexually aroused by the thought of having sex with their partner, how is that not sexual attraction in the sense that they are sexually attracted to their partner in the moment? I am well-versed in the topic of 2339:

so limited. There are asexuals there who describe having a little sexual attraction to whichever sex; they simply would rather not have sex and/or find acting on it to disinterest or repulse them. I suggest you research asexuality further, and talk with different types of asexuals more often. There's a reason the lead says "Asexuality, in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction and, in some cases, the lack of interest in sex." instead of "Asexuality is the absence of sexual attraction and the disinterest in sex."

need a correction; if they're normal, they don't have to. Since hypo- and hyper- are relative to some normal range, in this case a range that includes asexuality as a norm, it is possible for a hyposexual to have more sexual contact than an asexual does and still want or need correction when an asexual doesn't. If sexual quantity is to figure into sexual orientations, then other terminology is needed, with meanings of 'little' or 'much', but not 'too little' or 'too much'. Propose those terms, if you wish.

1787:

per se, because I know that sex is absolutely vital and necessary for the human race to continue. But I'm not a huge sexpot like a lot of people my age (14). I can have romantic relationships with the opposite gender, but again, I'm not a sex-craving simpleton. Am I asexual or not? Is there something to improve the article with relating to my question, so that other people like me who are confused about their sexuality can find an answer? I'm just confused. An answer would be most appreciated. :)

attraction"; see also the FAQ page, which further elucidates: "The definition of asexuality is "someone who does not experience sexual attraction". There have also been numerous interviews with asexual people such as David Jay, who is the founder of the asexuality.org website, which is the main website for asexuals, clearly stating that asexuality and low libido/hyposexuality are not the same thing. Also see the many discussions of DSM-V re hyposexuality, which differentiate it from asexuality.

363:

literally means sex with two, but we all know that bisexuality is not threesomes (except in certain types of porn). Also, heterosexual means different sexual, which would literally mean "opposites attract" while homosexual means same sexual which would literally mean "birds of a feather". Words can develop different meanings, and meanings can change. For example, if you called someone a nice fellow in the year 1400, you'd get a punch in the nose, because nice meant foolish in those days.

832:

a good point, but I don't see it as the same. Some asexual people, for example, actually enjoy masturbation (and plenty of people wonder how asexuals get aroused to the point where they "must masturbate," if they aren't sexually attracted to anyone/anything at all), and other asexuals have stated to "rarely enjoy sex," but I haven't heard of any athiest who enjoys any aspect of religion. Basically, "lacking sexual desire" does not always equate to "no sexual desire."

3428: 31: 3091:

legality category needs information in more than just the area of what states define asexuality as a protected class. For the etiology portion of the article we want to delve deeper into the causation and classification of asexuality. Finally for the religion section, we are going to try to find out how other religions (besides the existing ones discussed) view asexuality, and if they even define it as such a category of sexual orientation.

2553:" to get around "the complications" of self-identity. Categorizing people by identity isn't about changing the meaning of a term. There isn't any researcher out there who would include a man who identifies as heterosexual but openly admits to only being sexually attracted to/having sex with men in a study labeled "Heterosexuals in America," for example. That man obviously doesn't fit the definition of "heterosexual." But they have included " 1059:"Asexuals are invariably sexually sublimated by their jobs or hobbies. All the energy and driving interest which would normally be devoted to sexual activity is channelled into other pastimes or into their chosen occupations. If a person favors other interests over sexual activity, it is his right, and no one is justified in condemning him for it. However, the person should at least recognize the fact that this is a sexual sublimation." 2687:

they're often primary or tertiary, and Knowledge generally prefers secondary. On the logic of whether asexuality is not a sexual orientation, some have argued that a homosexual is simply a heteosexual with low libido in the proper direction, it was diagnosed as impotence or frigidity, and some said it wasn't a sexual orientation. Our reliance on sources moves that discussion to source authors; then we rely on what they publish.

hayfever, for example, and therefore do not have the desire to blow my nose. To use a sexual example, a homosexual could (and many homosexuals, before coming to terms with their sexuality, do) have sex with members of the opposite sex, relying on physical stimulation of their genitals to commence sex and achieve orgasm, though they may experience zero attraction to the person of the opposite sex that they are having sex with.

2034:

a brief change in this respect to the introductory paragraph (as well as a few minor, unrelated changes), though I feel this article needs a little more editing to make clear the difference between asexuality and low sexual desire. If there are no objections, then I shall make these changes in the next couple of weeks, in order to give time for discussion to take place first.

1991: 2219:" And let's not forget asexuals who enjoy having sex with their partners, but have never felt driven to have sex with anyone else. I'm sure that most people would consider that to be sexual attraction, even though sexual attraction to only one person. But whether anyone considers it sexual attraction or not, asexuality.org says it "need not contradict asexual identity." 2874:

state allowed same-sex marriage and was a gay rights activist and leader and gay news journalist and who said he was heterosexual for "five minutes", by which I presume he committed one exception, but I doubt it would be useful to most researchers to classify him as bisexual, and in general classifying with too much absoluteness would leave most people unclassified.

asexuality),but to physical sensation causing sexual arousal/response. Another example might be rape, where a - lets say in this example, a man - may indeed gain an erection and even orgasm, though he was in no way consenting to being raped, nor even sexually attracted to the rapist - it was purely physical stimulation alone which caused the erection and orgasm.

3583:

immediately notice the information's deletion, and the asexual flag is an important symbol of asexuality, and as such should definitely be present in an article about asexuality (accept my apologies if this discussion did take place in previously archived pages, with nobody responding - though a repeat warning before deletion still should have happened, IMHO).

2770:

secondary sources over primary ones such as the asexuality.org website, where asexuals define themselves, as many of the secondary sources are internet dictionaries with very limited entries. While there is a place for the odd secondary reference of this nature, perhaps this is indicative of a need for better secondary references overall.

Such long responses and discussions are staples of Knowledge talk pages, though, when trying to come to an understanding/compromise. It is funny that you originally suggested that I be 3366:

2) If you weren't referring to absolutes in the example of the homosexual having sex with someone of the other sex, then your point is moot. We were talking about two different things - my example of the homosexual having sex with someone of the other sex was in reference to asexuality, whereas yours

2033:

This article tends somewhat to suffer from confusion between low sexual desire (hyposexuality) and asexuality. To make it clear, asexuality refers to a lack of sexual *attraction*, not a lack of sexual *desire/libido*, and I feel it is important to make this clear throughout this article. I have made

1938:

I may be able to shed some light here. Panromantic is a definition that definitely exists within the asexual community, and indeed refers to romantic attraction that is not dependent on gender. Biromantic (and bisexual) are older terms that generally mean exactly the same thing, but as they appear to

1838:

Asexuality may not be big news to asexuals, but it is big news for the sexuals. it is a profound difference which can lead to many implicit misunderstandings in the "sexual world." Even people who practice celebacy are not usually asexual: asexuals do not have anything they are trying to control and

I'm inclined to respectfully disagree, at least with your apparent assumption that Holmes was attracted to Irene Adler.

831:

I'm pretty sure the reason it's considered part of the sexual orientation category, as touched on above, is because it has to do with sexual orientation (how people feel towards sex, etc.) It's an orientation that strays away from sex, therefore making it a sexual orientation. The Atheism argument is

744:

Asexuality is not an orientation. Children can already be very masculine or feminine, but still they dislike sex or even the mere thought of it. If they say otherwise it is mostly pretense. Some people just remain at that stage, mostly because of social restrictions during puberty (or because of once

I don't think it's fair to call atheism a "religious orientation," and I know atheists who are forever infuriated by the attempts of theists to cast their views as somehow "religious." In any case, this is an encyclopedia, and so words should be used literally. The word "asexuality" literally means

621:

That is a complete lie, all males have a blood circulation, so all males will get erections, all females have mestruation, it is impossible to have no sexual feelings at all. What "asexuals" don't realise is that ANYONE can simply stop themselves from getting erections and many many people will agree

383:

I personally don't think that it is possible for a person with normal sexual organs to be completely and totally devoid of sexual and even this article says that most of these "asexuals" admit that they masturbate, which would mean that they must have some sexual desire, so it probably isn't possible

I think it's 3% of U.S. noninstitutionalized adults that have not had sex in their lifetimes and 10% in a year, and I think those figures are due to underreporting, because the study was based on a stranger showing up at a home, saying they're from a university, taking attendance, promising to keep a

Gotta say I concur with Hygelac, above, re removal - it risks geting having people mistakenly believe that asexuality = low libido, which it doesn't - it's about one's sexual attraction "compass" not pointing anywhere, as against having it point to solely the opposite sex (heterosexuals), solely the

I don't think it belongs in either section. Asexuality is considered a sexual orientation: HSDD is not, and that paragraph is mostly just about HSDD. (It also makes no sense to say that "the first reference for asexuality was in 1980" when the following section discusses asexuality as described in

I don't need to research asexuality further. I have already researched it as much as possible this past year (including with the few studies out there on it).

Fifthly, your comments re "You accuse me of confusing the matter, when, really, that is one way researchers determine sexual attraction -- by "confusing" sexual arousal with sexual attraction.

One could argue that many sexually inactive people still consider themselves not asexual, but that might be due to social opprobrium against any sexuality but hetero. These are noninstitutionalized adults, who presumably have opportunities to date, so if they don't maybe they don't want to, whatever

Tea with toast, I would think that it would have been less destructive and much more constructive to post here on the Talk page about the need for additional sources (or indeed to spend the time finding said sources), rather than simply deleting important content without warning, as editors may not

I agree that we don't want people to conclude that "asexuality is about low libido," but, as some sources in this article define the term, low libido is a part of the topic of asexuality. Some people define themselves as asexual because, while they can feel sexual attraction to a person, they would

And you talk about me confusing sexual attraction with arousal/libido? As you know, there are some asexuals who have a high libido (which the Kinsey study above shows), but they say they experience no sexual attraction. You are already aware that some of them take care of this through masturbation,

There is no litmus test to determine if someone is asexual. Asexuality is like any other identity- at its core, it’s just a word that people use to help figure themselves out. If at any point someone finds the word asexual useful to describe themselves, we encourage them to use it for as long as it

Not only does this imply that WATSON was making these observations OF Holmes, but that Holmes' reasoning laid more on his distractions than his lack of libido. In fact Holmes' malingering over Irene Adler is fairly well known. I think Conan Doyle would most certainly disagree with this branding.

To me asexuality means being completely mistified by all the importance given to sex and sexuality - asexuality is very much an outsiders perspective - Asexuals really don't understand what all the hope, worries, preoccupations, fascinations, troubles, anxietiy, are all about. Some are sex neutral

I think it's important to remember that atheism isn't a religion for reasons that aren't directly comparable to asexuality. A religion is a worldview or set of beliefs that concern spirituality and morality. Atheism is the lack of belief in a God or gods. Atheism couldn't be a religion because it

I'm sure that regarding masturbation, the non-believers mean that the person surely has to have a little sexual attraction to one sex/gender in order to become sexually aroused. Except for men having an "accidental erection," people don't suddenly need to masturbate out of nowhere. As the article

From a survey done in 1994 of 18,876 British citizens Bogaert estimates that 1.05% of the United Kingdom is asexual as 195 of the participants claimed to be so. He cites possibly reasons for sexual attraction as age, illness, physical health problems, religiosity, education, gender, and economic

Sexuality is not a black and white issue; it has many grey areas. Asexuals identify in many ways such as homoromantic asexual (a male that is romantically interested/attracted to other men). I think many sexual people find the idea/concept of no desire for sex to be absurd, but then again I know

Thirdly, and most importantly, asexuality *absolutely* is the absence of sexual attraction, not necessarily low libido, and I am very happy to give as reference for this the website asexuality.org. Even on the title page, it states very clearly, "Asexual: A person who does not experience sexual

It's nice to hear that I don't exist...thanks a bunch. but really, there is a major flaw here. You see, there is a difference between sexual attraction and sex drive. Being asexual means you have no sexual attraction to anything. Some asexuals do have a sex drive (libido), hence masturbation is

That's asexual reproduction. The word "asexual" simply means not sexual. That doesn't mean we can split in two to make more of ourselves (although that would be cool), it just means we don't have a desire to have sex. If you take other orientation words and examine them, such as bisexual, it

I'm pretty sure Sherlock Holmes is not said to be asexual, but in fact he refuses to have any romantic or sexual relationships as he fears it may hinder his career. I think the part on Holmes should be removed, or the other explanation at least mentioned as a possibility.

Perfect example, Nil. I use examples such as that (for example, lesbians who have had sex with men) for a lot of things regarding sexual orientation and sexuality. Most gay and lesbian people have had sex with the opposite sex, but it doesn't mean they truly desired it.

I'm okay with the removal. It was added by editors belonging to the group in the above section -- Asexuality Plan. I believe that the reason it said "the first reference for asexuality was in 1980" is because the 1948 Kinsey reports didn't use the term "asexuality."

I don't fully understand how people know or maybe decide they are asexual. I've heard you can't choose what you are attracted to, but is there a way to distinguish for certain you are a certain orientation? Maybe something more in depth on that could be helpful.

Celibacy is not asexuality. Asexuality simply means you have very little to no desire to have sex with people, even the gender you're attracted to. Someone can still have sex and be asexual, I'm not a virgin but I certainly have no desire for sex.

One percent is actually a lot. It may not sound like much but given that there are about 7 billion people in the world, that means there are 70 million aces. That means if you put all the asexuals together that would be bigger than most nations.

There are also suggestions that the apostle Paul was asexual, drawn mainly from 1 Corinthians 7:1 and 1 Corinthians 7:5-9. While I don't find either verse as definitive evidence that he was, the suggestions are also notable.

With that, I guess I'm asexual. It's not as easy to realize that you're asexual as it is to realize that you're, say, homosexual. The latter would be a bit more pronounced, whereas the former isn't very big news to me. :P

That's like saying if a gay guy has a romantic relationship with a woman then he can't be gay. Or vice versa. Asexuality is about sex not friendship/romance. There are two main types of asexuals, romantic and aromantic.
