Put simply, if you want to want to have sex, you probably have a low libido. But if you feel indifferent about whether or not sex makes an appearance in your life, it’s more likely that you’re on the asexuality spectrum.
Correspondingly, what is the difference between asexuality and low libido?
Asexuality is often confused with celibacy or having a low libido. The difference is this: While asexuality is an orientation, celibacy is a choice someone of any sexual orientation may make. Also, low libido means that sexual attraction and desire exists, but in lower levels relative to other people.
In this way, can you be borderline asexual?
As someone who is borderline asexual (I’m certainly aromantic, meaning I am not romantically attracted to anyone), I empathize with people who are asexual ( defined as Aces) and the stereotypes they face. So, I’m here to clear up some of the rumors and myths surrounding people who call themselves Aces.
