This is a list of notableasexual people who have been open about their sexuality. The number of notable asexual individuals is likely to be several times higher than the number of individuals who appear on this list due to fact that many famous people have hidden their sexual orientations.
People on the asexual spectrum lacksexual attraction to others or experience low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. [1] [2] [3] The spectrum includes sub-identities, [4] including gray asexuality and demisexuality. Asexual individuals may represent about one percent of the population. [2]
Many people who identify as asexual also identify with other labels. These other identities include how they define their gender and their romantic orientation. [5] They will oftentimes integrate these characteristics into a greater label that they identify with. Regarding romantic or emotional aspects of sexual orientation or sexual identity, for example, asexuals may identify as heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer [6] [7] or by the following terms to indicate that they associate with the romantic, rather than sexual, aspects of sexual orientation: [7] [8] [9]
