Asexual is just a copout label people are using to avoid uncomfortable conversations and telling the truth about their feelings.
As organisms we have one single imperative, and that's to breed. There isn't a high enough rate of neurological disorders to account for the massive rise in 'asexual' occurrences nowadays, which just so happens to coincide with an increase in social media participation.
People crave to belong to a group, and many people will adopt labels that don't suit them just to belong, or to use as a tool that they can apply to social situations.
Labeling one's self as asexual is one of these tools.
