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, [[Asexuality|click here]].</div>

I know many in the asexual community are [[Sex drive|libidoists]] and many are not. But I cannot for the life of me remember which are which. The fact of the matter is that few people make a big deal out of it, for various reasons.

If you as an individual find it important, by all means incorporate it into your identity! But my feeling is that most people with experience in the community decide that it is not so important, and the people who make the most out of it are people who haven't thought much about what impact such an identity would actually have. So when I discourage use of "[[nonlibidoist]]", I'm merely trying to pass on the conventional wisdom of crowds and of experience. If you think that's just nonsense, that you're your own individual, that you can identify how you want, well, yeah, you can.
