...many asexual people still have a libido and might experience sexual desire. Asexual people might still masturbate or have sex. After all, sexuality doesn't always mean someone doesn't enjoy sex. It just means they don't experience sexual attraction.

BDSM doesn’t have to be sexual in nature—some people like it for the power only.

I know, I’m asexual, I’m just pointing out that the I and the A which are so often added and that the plus is often substituted for to cover even more bases, are really weird things to associate with BDSM.

Axs, nbs, and the rest of the soup aren't well known for their spanking proclivities
