Why bother identifying as asexual?
It is important that people understand who they are. Many adolescent asexual people go through a period of being unsure about their sexuality, knowing that their disinterest in the opposite sex would presume that they are gay; whilst not being attracted to the same sex either. This leaves many young people confused and worried, thinking that there must be something wrong with them that has made them deny themselves, or that something is biologically incorrect. Learning about asexuality is often a huge relief, as the person learns that they are not broken, ill or alone.
