Why do people think asexuality doesnt exist?

Like seriously, is it that hard for you to believe that there are some people who do not experience sexual attraction or arousal?

I really do believe asexuality is a thing. It's basically a way for people to whine about how special they are and how they actually have issues to deal with. Lol @ "asexual" organizations.

Is this a question of personal experience or general curiosity?

@BigBoiIsBack: not everyone with autism fits into the sterotype you think of especially those with Aspergers, many people have slight autism and are fully functioning members of society.

@BigBoiIsBack Not all asexuals are autistic

@assumptions2 You are correct. I recently turned thirteen.

@Rtyu I think I should be more clear. By not experiencing arousal, I mean that they are not aroused by people, images, thoughts, etc. They can still be aroused by stimulation.

@BigBoiIsBack actually its quite real. Asexuality is most common among autistic people. People with autisim tend to be more likely to be objectumsexual as well. And since autism ranges in severity there are many people fully functioning with the rest of the general population that are asexual. Asexuality also occurs among other metal disabilities and some metal disorders that I can't recall currently.

EDIT: not to say all asexual people have disabilities/disorders

I think you should calm down and if people don't believe it and it bothers you ignore them o.o o.o
I mean if you're asexual more power to you... but right now it seems like you're angry about what the other posted on the other poll thread

A lot of people have a hard time believe other people don't want to mate, let alone feel intimate feeling towards people in general.
