"Sweetpea The Tigress"
This has been said before, but I think it bears reiteration- she may or may not be asexual.
Has she been evaluated and given that diagnosis by a physician/psychologist/psychiatrist?
Asexuality isn't a clinical diagnosis; the term has basically been made up by people who identify as such. The closest thing is Hyposexual Desire Disorder, and one of the diagnostic criteria is that the lack of sexual attraction/desire bothers you.
I'm not entirely sure what a clinical diagnosis has to do with it; it sounds about as strange as wanting a doctor to tell you that you're gay.
I'm bi, and I've talked to a doctor about it... It's fine to be asexual, but when it comes to relationships, there may be some difficulty in forming or keeping them being as the majority of people are sexual... if one is bothered by one's asexuality in any way, it makes since to get a professional opinion... that's what I was thinking...
That does actually make sense, although asexuality is still unknown enough that it's not unlikely the doctor will decide lack of sex drive = something is wrong with you. (There are also some great ones out there from what I've heard, but there's definitely the contingent of "sex is normal and healthy and wonderful and wanting sex is natural - what, you mean you don't want sex? You must be repressed/crazy/traumatised/sekritly gay/etc."
wink So it's a bit of a gamble whether the help you get will be useful or counterproductive.
It mainly puzzled me because it sounded like you were saying no one could know their sexual orientation without being diagnosed with it!
