As I've said before, I know very little about asexuality. It seems to me that genetics do come into it. If I were to ask say a gay guy..'How do you know you wouldn't enjoy sex with a woman'?..he would reply that he had no sexual feelings or desires to towards ....asexuality seems the same principle to me. I believe we are born with our sexualities and if hetrosexuals and homosexuals are born with theirs...then so must an asexual. That's a very lay opinion and I'm not sure what research has been done.
..The 'Romantic Asexual' has me a little confused though because it feels more of an emotional rather than genetic thing..as if they are drawn to the romance and ideal of love...but not the sex, maybe the sex would shatter that illusion for them...I don't know...it's just a thought
