Just because someone's asexual doesn't mean they can't enjoy sex.

How is that such a hard concept to grasp? Yes, some asexuals are sex-repulsed and others are fine with it but don’t want it themselves, just to name a few, but there are asexuals out there who actually enjoy sex.

Asexuality (in LGBT+ terms) is the lack of sexual attraction. Asexuality is a spectrum. An asexual’s attitude towards sex depends on the individual person. Some asexuals occasionally have sexual attraction. There are some that don’t have an attraction but still enjoy it. Since this seems to be hard to understand for many people, I’ll give an example.

Do you enjoy eating food? Watching TV? Reading a book? Sleeping?

Chances are, you enjoy at least one thing on the list, or some inanimate object in your life. You enjoy the thing, right?

But are you sexually attracted to food? TV? Books? Beds? Whatever you enjoy? No, you are not. But that doesn’t stop you from enjoying it.

Just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean you are attracted to it. Just because you’re asexual doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy sex.
