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?

Yes I do believe I am using the correct term.
Personally I believe that most sexualities are a choice, I think that Asexuals should be supportive of one another but if someone says that they are Asexual as a matter of choice than they get all up in them. For the record I know a few Homosexuals who believe that I was a choice and not something they were born with (I know there are few who will admit to that but there are some) and how can you not say that they are not Homosexual because we know they are attracted to the same sex and that is the definition of a Homosexual.
I can tell you that I am Asexual and it was a choice that I made. It could be that it was a choice that was not entirely my own, personally I think that my sexual repression when I was young led me to become Asexual but it was still a choice and not something I was born with.
