“asexuality is just the lack of a sex drive, or a really low one” uuhhh no. really, no. that is incorrect, you have been lied to, i’m sorry.

Also note that if you put a bunch of horny dudes on a naval vessel for years on end, even if they’re all straight, some of them are probably gonna end up fucking (which is why back when sodomy was illegal on land it was allowed on a ship). Similarly, some fraction of asexual people do have sex for recreation, but never with anybody they’re actually attracted to because they aren’t actually attracted to anybody. Friction is friction and endorphins are endorphins.

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
