#asexuality

I've had exhaustive discussions about our ability to form a friendship knowing that she would like it to be more and she is very respectful of my boundaries.

Yes, some asexual people masturbate. What distinguishes asexuals is that they lack sexual attraction, meaning they don’t desire to have sex with specific people.

Asexuality exists on a spectrum, meaning that no two people experience it the same way. While some may choose to engage in relationships, others may reject the notion entirely.

It's a really difficult thing to deal with, and to overcome mentally, to accept that your path in life is going to be different and the way you experience life will be too. And there's not a lot of guidance due to the lack of representation in the media... there [are] no very famous people who are openly ace and aro. There's no education and support because it's not widely recognized or understood.
