I'm actually asexual myself and I was quite surprised to see so many people who are also ace on this site! This is a question I've been asked before and I'm curious as to how others might answer as well.
Personally, I really enjoy reading about relationships between other people. I think that there's a part of me who really likes that fact that BL is between two boys, and that I (as a girl) could never put myself in either character's place.
Asexuality doesnt equal impotence. Aces do get aroused. Everything in our body still works, we just don't want others to get involved. In simpler terms, we just dont want intimacy with another person. 2 reply
