Sexuality can be a key part of identity, shaping how we perceive ourselves and how others understand us. Asexuality has been a known orientation for many years yet people who identify as asexual are often misunderstood, doubted and questioned about personal matters like their sex lives, experiences and desires. Asexuality generally covers experiencing little to no sexual attraction but it can mean different things to different people and the term has evolved to include a broad range of sub-identities including aceflux, demisexual, fraysexual and lithosexual. 

In Parliament, I gave a statement on asexuality to help inform members about the asexual experience and promote inclusivity, acceptance and equality. It’s important that we recognise all sexualities and work to better understand everyone’s experience so that everyone can live their best life, including those who identify as asexual.
