Actually,
there are asexual people. In my own experience, I've met a few women who fit this description to a T. My husband has also known a few men who were most likely asexual. They seemed somewhat effeminate, but definitely were not gay. They also weren't interested in women - they just weren't interested in sex period. It's a very real phenomenon.
From my own observations,I agree with you and your husbands statements. But as I said to Clemenza in a previous post,it is well worth taking the time to study this. If our obervations are confirmed,and there are indeed a number of persons without sexual inclinations,it would free a lot of "asexuals" from the box society has placed them in.
