Asexuality is not some exceptionally rare, impossible thing.  Even using the common 1% estimate (which many people think is low), that’s 3.2 million Americans.  If you met someone who said “Hey, I’m from Chicago”, you wouldn’t tell them that you didn’t believe them, because people from Chicago are only about 1% of the population.  “You’re really from New York or California.  Statistically, that’s far more likely.“  That would be ridiculous.

I wrote a poem on asexuality

allthingsasexual:

I look around

Nothing to see

I smile at them

But they don’t please

I look for something

Feeling broken inside

“He is sexy”

I often lied

I feel broken

What’s wrong with me?

I turn to the internet

To ask and plee

I get lots of messages

trying to explain me

I found a word that fits

Asexuality

I finally figured it out

there are people who are alike

It took a while to know

But it was worth the hike
