"Sometimes people claim that asexuality must be a dysfunction because it is "obvious" that people are "designed" by evolution to experience [[Attraction#Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]]. This assumes that if something was "designed" a certain way by evolution, that is how it ought to work for everyone. This itself is very controversial. It is also unusable because we really have very little idea how/why what has evolved the way that it has. So people basically just make up a story for why you do or don't think something is "normal." Furthermore, I see no reason why it should be necessary for every member of a population to reproduce." | "Sometimes people claim that asexuality must be a dysfunction because it is "obvious" that people are "designed" by evolution to experience [[Attraction#Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]].

Asexual: A person who does not experience sexual attraction.
Welcome to the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. AVEN hosts the world's largest online asexual community as well as a large archive of resources on asexuality. AVEN strives to create open, honest discussion about asexuality among sexual and asexual people alike.
Unlike celibacy, which is a choice, asexuality is a sexual orientation. Asexual people have the same emotional needs as everybody else and are just as capable of forming intimate relationships. To find out more about asexuality, click here.
