Aseksualitet

Aseksualitet (også betegnet som nonseksualitet)^[1] er manglen på interesse i og lyst til sex.^[2] Somme tider anses det for en mangel på seksuel orientering.^[3] Et ofte citeret studie konkluderede, at 1 % af befolkningen er aseksuel.^[4]

Aseksualitet er forskellig fra seksuel afholdenhed (askese) og cølibat, som er bevidste valg (det sidstnævnte skyldes oftest religiøse overbevisninger).^[5] En seksuel orientering er i modsætning til en valgt levemåde vedvarende.^[6] Nogle aseksuelle har sex på trods af manglende lyst til det.^[7]
