WHAT DOES SEXLESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sexless

Asexuality

Asexuality [1][2][3] is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in sexual activity.[4][5][6] It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the four variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.[7][8][9] A study in 2004 placed the prevalence of asexuality at 1%.[7][10] Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy,[11][12] which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs;[13] sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be "enduring."[14] Some asexual people engage in sexual activity despite lacking a desire for sex or sexual attraction, due to a variety of reasons, such as a desire to please romantic partners or a desire to have children.[6][11] Acceptance of asexuality as a sexual orientation and field of scientific research is still relatively new,[4][6][8][15] as a growing body of research from both sociological and psychological perspectives has begun to develop.[6] While some researchers assert that asexuality is a sexual orientation, other researchers disagree.
