Did you know that 1% of people living in the world are asexual? In this new edition of Doctor Trome, Alberto Tejada talks about asexuality, a condition that should not be confused with sexual abstinence, celibacy or sexual deficiency resulting from a depressive disorder.
What does it mean to be asexual?
An asexual is a person who has an absence of interest in the sex life. Its acceptance as a sexual orientation and as a field of scientific research is relatively new.
What are the characteristics of an asexual person?
An asexual can be a seemingly normal person, whose background may range from a traumatic history of non-conscious violence to a history of disappointment or obsessive disorder (OCD), or it can also be a person with no significant antecedents. There is an uncorrelated demonstration of disorders in the aromatization of the hormone Testosterone.

Do they usually have a partner?
An asexual can have a partner, but his detachment for sex differentiates him from the hypersexual, homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual.
What is the life as a couple of an asexual person?
Despite lacking a sexual desire for other people, an asexual person may engage in sexual activities because of a variety of reasons, such as the desire to please romantic couples or a desire to have children.
Is it just a phase?
This condition should not be seen as a phase, since it is inherent to him or her.
Does not the fact that there is no sexual desire mean that there is no sentimental attraction?
It is important to clarify that although an asexual does not feel interest in the sex life, does not mean that does not feel a sentimental attraction by someone. Of course they can fall in love.
Do asexuals masturbate?
It is not usual to masturbate, since in many cases there is a rejection by the exchange of fluids during a sexual relationship.
So we should not confuse an asexual with a person with depressive disorders devoid of sexual desire, in the latter if it is a phase.
