Asexuals, they exist!

[SFGate Article Link] Asexuals leave the closet, find community.

I guess I wasn't sure asexuals existed, but on the other hand, I am terribly misinformed about a lot of things. When I read the article, I was thus enlightened greatly. One thing which was explained is that asexuals seem to still have a gender preference, i.e. they can be straight or gay. They really prefer just not to have sex.
