    How would having an above average sex drive make someone asexual? That's literally an oxymoron. Just curious Xd

    If normal is no sex drive - than above normal would be some sex drive thus not asexual.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    Sex drive (the desire to seek sexual pleasure) and sexual attraction (the process by which you look at someone and feel like having sex with THAT PERSON) can be separate things.

    As above, asexuality is a spectrum, as is sexuality on the whole. It cn be hard to pin down and define perfectly.

    On an unrelated note:

    I think one of the things that attracted me to WoW as opposed to other games (and the reason I've rarely gotten into more recent MMOs that have come out) is its simplified aesthetic that downplays sexuality.

    Sure, some of the females in the game have seductive poses, and you can dress in skimpy transmog if you want, but Blade and Soul this ain't.

    As the second dude in the family, I've always been somewhat less interested in reproduction/sex and more interested in other things. I think that there is some science behind it, in the sense that having subsequent boys in the womb might cause hormonal changes to happen to them during pregnancy.

    I believe it's more prevalent in females, though it being dependent on self-reporting skews it heavily toward women.

    All depends on the person.

    Some people feel no ATTRACTION (as in, you look at someone and would feel like 'yeah i'd tap it) but still enjoy sexual pleasure (either with themselves, another person, or both).

    Some people aren't interested in anything.

    Some people feel 0 attraction until they are very deeply involved/ in love with someone.

    Asexuality is on a spectrum, just like "regular" sexuality. You can put a bunch of words on it, or try and fit yourself in a spot, but really - only people who should be concerned with it is yourself and a partner if you have one.

    I'm not sure if I really can be called asexual, I just don't care about sex at all. I don't play WoW though, and I never really hide my disinterest in sex - although it rarely comes up, unless I'm having a naughty talk with someone.

    The probability for sex is likely low.

    Instead of just admitting they have trouble getting into meaningful relationship, its easier / cooler / to just say "Pssh I don't need sex."
    What does having a meaningful relationship have to do with the ability to get sex? lol

    And some are heteromantic, some are homoromantic, some are biromantic and some are aromantic.

    Same, but there's rarely mail armor transmogrification choice that suits an Undead hunter. I would so love to rp as an apothecary.

    and only around 1% of the whole word population.

    As far as I know, I'm probably asexual or very close to it. My only fear is that when I'm old, if I live that far, I'll regret that I didn't ever show any interest and I'll die alone. Landlord or someone similar will find my mummified corpse a few months later. :/

    Well... I'm going to enjoy my life. I'm only curious as to how sex would feel, but it is so low in my priority list that will probably never get around to experience it.

    The best part, though, I get to be a wizard! I'm 30... am I elder wizard already? Or do I have to wait decade or two more?!
    Do you have romantic tendencies?

    This flew a bit under the radar, but discussion of sexuality or lack of is actually a forbidden topic, so unfortunately I'm gonna have to close this here.
