Asexual people can want closed, monogamous relationships.

Just because someone doesn’t feel sexual attraction doesn’t mean they are okay with you sleeping with other people.

Some people may be okay with that but not all. Don’t assume that because you’re dating an asexual person that they’re okay with you sleeping with other people.

When you know how big of a deal sex is in the world due to how sexualised everything is, thinking that you aren’t enough for your partner and they have to look somewhere else for something many people consider important (especially for a healthy relationship) is really, really hurtful.

If you haven’t discussed it with your partner and they don’t want an open relationship then; It is still cheating. Depending on their type of Asexuality:

they may not want any sex with you but that doesn’t mean they’re okay with you going to someone else for it.

They may be open to having sex with you just maybe not as often as you like but that doesn’t mean they are okay with you going to someone else for it.

They could have sex with you regularly but still not be sexually attracted to you (since they are on the asexual spectrum) but that doesn’t mean that they are okay with you acting on an impulse for someone you are sexually attracted to.

All of the above could be really hurtful. Just because they don’t feel sexual attraction doesn’t mean they are okay with you sleeping with other people because they understand that romantic and sexual attractions are different. If it doesn’t apply to a ‘normal’ romantic relationship I.e your romantic and sexual partner being the same person with no-one else involved (for a closed monogamous relationship) then guess what?! That can still apply in a relationship with an Asexual person.

They shouldn’t feel bad for wanting these things when it’s what’s expected in a heteronormative or a non-poly queer relationship. It’s okay for them to want their partner to remain loyal to them if that’s what they want and they shouldn’t be expected to just live with it, if they’re partner goes elsewhere and they aren’t okay with it.
