Asexuality is a term used to define individuals who do not experience sexual attraction to people of any gender. Being asexual doesn’t mean that the person is practicing celibacy. While celibacy is a choice, asexuality is a person’s sexual orientation and is not a choice. However, asexuality lies on a spectrum of a person’s sexual orientation.
