Asexuality refers to people who are not sexually attracted to others. Asexuality exists on a spectrum and the definition can vary from person to person. For example, those who identify as asexual may still engage in sexual activity. Others may identify as aromantic, gray asexual, demisexual, reciprosexual, akoisexual, or aceflux. All of these terms refer to a variety of ways in which people experience asexuality depending on context. Asexual identity, as with all types of sexual identity and attraction, may change over time. Additional research is needed into the prevalence of asexual identity in the population, the formation of asexual communities, and the effects of discrimination and marginalization among individuals who identify as asexual
