    I can assure you, aces can get horny too.

    Aces just don’t feel attraction to any people so the horny isn’t directed at anything.

    Where did this misconception come from that all asexuals have no libido? It just means we ain’t attracted to anything.

      I mean, there are sex-averse asexuals. People who are disgusted by the idea of sex. Like it’s just another gross biological function.

      They tend to view the relief from sex the same way using the restroom provides relief. And most people don’t enjoy using the restroom; They just enjoy the relief they feel afterwards.

      Welp that’s what you get when there is no proper education/introduction to Ace people existence, so most people try to understand that concept through their experience. Imagining not being sexually attracted to anyone is far easier to imagine when you aren’t horny, obviously doesn’t work like but I imagine that would be the cause of the misconception.
