Someone who does not experience sexual desire for people of any gender. Some asexual people desire romantic relationships, while others do not.[5] Asexual people exist on a spectrum of sexual attraction and can use terms such as gray asexual or gray ace to describe themselves.[2] This desire can fluctuate over time. Asexuality is distinct from celibacy, which is the deliberate refraining from sexual activity. Asexual people experience high levels of invisibility and trivialization.[5]
