    You can want sex but not be sexually attracted to anyone.

      Yes, that’s called aromanticism. You can also be attracted to people without wanting sex, which is usually referred to as asexuality. You can also be both.

        That’s what I said, that is asexuality, not aromanticism.

        (But yes, aromanticism is close and it’s tough to figure out the difference if you have one or the other or both because the two are often thought to be the same thing)
