asexuals
Without sexual desire
Asexuals are people who experience little or no sexual attraction to others.
The term describes a sexual orientation, not a choice or medical condition.
Someone may identify as asexual while still forming romantic relationships or experiencing aesthetic attraction: Many asexuals date and marry.
Often shortened to ace.
