If you’ve ever wondered “Why are people so interested in sex?!”, this quiz is meant for you.
People who identify as asexual (“ace”) generally don’t experience sexual attraction and/or may have absent or low desire for sexual contact. However, like all areas of sexuality, there’s a whole spectrum. Ace folks may still want close emotional relationships, romance, non-sexual contact like cuddling, and some might even experience attraction from time to time. Sound like you?

All About Asexuality
What is asexuality?
Asexuality (often abbreviated as “ace”) is a spectrum used to describe a lack of sexual attraction. Some ace individuals are completely repulsed by the idea of sex, while others may feel okay with sex in specific circumstances. There isn’t a cut-and-dry way to be “ace”—it’s an incredibly subjective and personal experience (as is anything related to sexuality).
Are ace people members of the LGBTQ+ community?
Yes, asexual individuals are most definitely members of the LGBTQ+ community. The ace identity isn’t as well-known as other common elements of the LGBTQ+ acronym, like lesbian (women or nonbinary individuals attracted to other women), gay (anyone attracted to the same gender identity), bisexual (people attracted to the same gender identity and at least one mroe gender identity), transgender (people who don’t identify with their assigned gender from birth), and so on. Still, a lack of spotlight doesn’t change the fact that ace people have and always will fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.
Other Asexual Labels/Identities
The way a person settles on a label for their sexuality is completely personal and subjective. At the end of the day, though, asexuality is a spectrum—and there are plenty of different identities that fit beneath that umbrella:
- Demisexual: A person who only develops sexual attraction after an emotional bond exists in the relationship first.
- Graysexual: A person who falls somewhere between asexual (experiencing no sexual attraction) and allosexual (experiencing sexual attraction).
- Aceflux: A person whose sexuality shifts around the asexual spectrum OR a person whose sexuality shifts between asexual and allosexual.
- Cupiosexual: A person who doesn’t experience sexual attraction but still wishes to have sex.
- Fraysexual: A person who feels sexual attraction when they don’t know someone on a deep level; this attraction can go away as a friendship/bond is formed.
