Since many threads are about your sex life, I don't think you can be termed Asexual. Asexuality is an orientation - generally they don't want or think about sex, although some will do some acts for various reasons. Just because you're having a brief hiatus with sex doesn't mean you're Asexual. A person with Asexuality wouldn't be bothered about not having sex or their ability to perform.

Quote:

An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community; each asexual person experiences things like relationships, attraction, and arousal somewhat differently. Asexuality does not make our lives any worse or any better, we just face a different set of challenges than most sexual people. Asexuality is distinct from celibacy or sexual abstinence, which are behaviours, while asexuality is generally considered to be a sexual orientation. Some asexuals do participate in sex, for a variety of reasons.
