Living with Asexuality

[Fino]

No. A person can certainly change from being sexual to "having no sexual feelings or desires, or who is not sexually attracted to anyone." Hormonal changes can do this. Sexual trauma (abuse/rape) can do this. Mental illness can do this (e.g. severe depression). Medication can do this. Just to name a few. I don't get why that would seem impossible.

If you no longer have sexual feelings due to any of those reasons, you would not be considered asexual. I think we're talking about different things, which is why there's confusion. Maybe the word can be used both ways, I don't know. In my opinion, that's just confusing and your examples don't need to take the word, but if someone prefers the label, I don't see any problem with that.

Is saying that you are without sexual feelings just because. Not because of one or more particular nuances.

Whether the term incorporates these other instances is debatable l guess. Celibate has a lot more leeway in meaning and is a softer word when compared to asexual.
