Someone who doesn't experience sexual attraction. Often confused with autosexual (sexually attracted to oneself), asexual reproduction (when organisms can reproduce without sex), celibacy/abstinence (the choice not to have sex). Asexuals may or may not be romantically attracted to others, and may or may not have a sex drive (though not directed towards anyone or anything).
Asexuality is _not_ a choice, and you cannot decide to become one. They are just born that way, the same way as people are straight, gay, bi, or whatever.

From my point of view, and my definition, the term asexual has some variations of definition. Asexual can either mean that you're not sexually attracted to people, meaning you don't desire anything sexual such as having sex, or asexual can also mean that you aren't attracted to anything. Nothing will 'trigger' feelings towards something or someone.

To be driven in life not by sex, but by garlic bread. Asexual people experience little to no sexual attraction at all and instead focus on the more important things in life, such as dragons and Italian cuisine. Some of them may still experience romantic attraction, whether to a fictional character or a real person, but it's common for them to have no interests in relationships altogether.
I took them to a romantic Italian dinner, but because they're asexual all they cared about were the garlic breadsticks.
