I agree with this statement. Sexuality, as most people believe, is not something that can be chosen. You cannot choose to be gay or straight. So to be asexual, most people believe you can't choose to be uninterested in sex or sexuality, which is why some people will take offense if you're using the term incorrectly. Not to be rude or offensive, but as asexuality is something that is quite debatable in definition, are you sure you're using the correct term?
