Aces exist, there is nothing wrong with not feeling sexual desire or attraction. If it doesn't upset her or effect her life in a way she doesn't like then she doesn't need medical intervention.

As someone who is demi and has lived many years at a time as essentially ace, it's frustrating to hear people consistently downplay asexuality as a physical ailment. No, some people are just like this, it's as valid an orientation as any other.

    I didn't see anything in her posts that implied she wanted a higher libido or that she saw her lack of sexual desire as an issue in her day to day life. I did see her say she might like intimate human connection but that's perfectly possible without sex. I think we might both be doing some projection, as yes I am sensitive to people who recommend seeing a doctor when someone describes what its like to be ace, but also you seem to assume having sex is a prerequisite to having an intimate relationship with someone.

    It's not.
