Being asexual does not mean that one is unable to experience [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]]. An asexual person can have any romantic orientation and some asexuals identify with a [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] to specify who they're interested in romantically, if anyone. They often use prefixes like hetero-, homo-, bi-, pan-, etc. in front of the word romantic to describe who they experience romantic attraction to. For example, a person who is asexual [[Straight|heteroromantic]] is romantically attracted to people of a different gender, but is not sexually attracted to them. Some asexuals are also [[aromantic]], meaning that they also do not feel romantic attraction. People who are both asexual and aromantic may identify as [[aroace]].
Sexual dispositions among asexual people can vary. Some asexuals may still have a sex drive despite not feeling sexual attraction to anyone. They may still masturbate, watch porn, or participate in sexual activities. Other asexuals lack a sex drive, and some may be repulsed by the concept of sex.
