Sorry, I did kind of pack a bunch of information into a small package. ^^ Do you mean about sex drives, or sex repulsion?
One's sex drive is different than sexual attraction in that it does not necessarily have to be sexually attracted to a specific person or gender characteristics in order to feel sexual arousal. Sexual arousal can occur from viewing a sex act (thus why some asexuals do watch porn). Many people respond biologically to sexual stimuli in sexual situations, regardless of sexual attraction. Sexual attraction, as understood by the asexual community, is experiencing a sexual urge towards (in other words desiring sexual contact with) someone when there is no sexual context present. (For example, seeing a non-sexual picture of someone one finds sexually attractive and desiring sexual contact with them.) For some asexuals that have sex drives, masturbation and orgasms feel good, so they will get themselves aroused for that reason. Other asexuals on the other hand have described their sex drives as an itch that needs to be scratched, but not necessarily something they enjoy. And some asexuals truly don't have a sex drive and so do not masturbate or participate in sex at all.
Now that I've refreshed the page, Zephyr explained it much easier than I have, but hopefully that does help a bit.
Pretty much. Jason Momoa is a very nice looking man. But it doesn't mean I want to do the deed with him.
love those muscles, looks nice but I wouldn't hop on that. His eyebrows looks like they're on his eyelids.

Okay so I'm solid on sexual attraction. I'm just now confuse with sexual desire.
I would give my legs to be in the same room as him 'cause lord
As far as I'm aware, sexual desire is similar to if not the same as sexual attraction. Sexual desire may refer to the actual sexual urge one feels towards a specific person. Besides that, I'm not aware of a major difference, but if anyone has heard of them used differently, it'd be interesting to hear.
Oooh okay. So will they still be able to have sex without people despite there not being a attraction to get them interested in the first place? I'm just thinking of hits and runs. Or is it soley on just masturbation? I'm thinking of a scenario where a asexual person sexually comes onto their partner for sexual urges but why *** something I'm not into? Does that makes sense?
Asexual people would not have sexual urges or desires towards someone. If an asexual were to be in the mood for sex, it wouldn't be because they are sexually attracted to their partner. So they may get themselves excited first (fantasizing, watching porn, etc), and then engage in a sexual act with their partner, but the horniness (to put it bluntly) would not originate from a sexual urge towards their partner.
(Keep in mind sexuality is a spectrum, and so some people in the middle of the spectrum (e.g. grey-asexual, demisexual) may be turned on by sexual attraction to their partner. But asexual people, on the end of the asexual spectrum, by definition would not).

I haven't read any prior posts, but I just saw this thread I'm not one to turn down an opportunity to speak up: With the way we talk about LGBT, with the whole acronym being synonymous with rights for gays and lesbians, I feel the "T" in GLBT isn't receiving the support they need and I'm not even sure if the transgendered group appreciate being lumped in with services/attitudes geared for homosexual folks (I'd like to ask) because hey, being born in the wrong shape doesn't make you gay (tho you might be, but that's an independent issue). I imagine it's waaaaay easier to be a man (gay or straight) on the subway than it is to be a woman who looks like a biological man on the subway dressed in skirt and heels. It shouldn't be. If that's your gender you should rock it. If cross-dressing isn't your thing because you've been blessed with a gender identity that matches what's in your pants, live and let live.
I can't make sentences into paragraphs right now so I'm gonna reply in points but
1. It's transgender, not transgendered
2. LGB (mainly LG) are already trying to push trans people out of the acronym, there doesn't need to be cis people saying "well wouldn't trans people feel better if they weren't lumped together blahblah"
3. LGBTA+ people are together because they are all marginalized groups
4. Do not equate being trans to "being in the wrong body" or to "cross-dressing". It's not the same thing. A fully transitioned trans person is still in the same body and clothes to not have genders attached to them.
5. It's easy to say "If that's your gender you should rock it", however, take into account the amount of trans people being assaulted and murdered for rocking it.

ALSO forgot to add probably the most important point: The first people to lead LGBTA+ rallies were trans women. To exclude T from the acronym would be disgusting.

Tfw your catholic and are a part of the LGBTQA but most don't support it and your religion is bashed on repeatedly by others because of radicals who have the wrong idea.

I go to a Catholic school/college and while mostly everyone is open minded and accepting to this sort of thing, there are still surprisingly few openly lgbt people here. I suspect there are quite a few that would be a lot more open if it wasn't for the reputation that chrisyians tend to have because of the select few who choose not to have an open mind. Its a shame when a few people with too extreme opinions can ruin the reputation of an entire group like that...

I know...Im scared to even say anything over the fear of getting bashed on. Altho a select few here do support it
It's 100% normal for bi and pan people to have preferences. They don't mean you have to like all genders the exact same amount
i know it is !! but i have a lot of, like, fictional crushes, and almost none of them are female. what's weird is that it's the opposite for ladies, whenever i watch shows or movies all of my attention is focused on the ladies and almost none on the men. i guess i just have weird tastes.
then again, said fictional men aren't human so... yeah.
as for my sexual preferences... hmm. it's really hard to pinpoint my exact preference.
like nvll said, it's alright to like one gender more than the other. it doesn't make you any less valid as someone who could be bisexual or pansexual.
