audiecreates asked: I know you're getting a lot of questions about this and I don't want to annoy you but I was under the impression that asexuals don't feel a romantic or sexual attachment to other people? Or is it just sexual? I'm just a little confused. What does it mean in your fiancée's case?

iwilleatyourenglish:

asexual people lack sexual attraction.

some asexual people enjoy sex, as they enjoy the physical sensations — they simply do not experience sexual attraction to the person they are involved with.

some asexual people are neutral towards sex and may be willing to engage in sexual activity because they want to make their partner happy.

some asexual people do not enjoy sex in any way and do not participate in it.

some asexual people do not simply not enjoy sex, but are deeply uncomfortable with it.

some asexual people fall on a grayer spectrum. some gray asexuals do experience sexual attraction, but on a very rare/specific basis, while others can experience sexual attraction onlyif they develop a deep emotional connection with someone first (these people often identify as demisexual).

romantic attraction and sexual attraction are not the same thing. i have a close friend who is bisexual, but homoromantic — she is sexually attracted to men and women, but only romantically interested in women.

my fiancee is a biromantic asexual woman. she is romantically attracted to men and women, but sexually attracted to no one.
