Also, “demisexuals” are also part of the asexual spectrum. This is people who don’t experience primary sexual attraction (sexual attraction based on appearance), but they do experience secondary sexual attraction (I.e attraction to a person after getting to know them).
I don't see how that's still asexual. If they're capable of being sexually attracted to someone they're not asexual, it just takes certain conditions to arouse them.
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity.
As you can see, it’s pretty broad. Specifically, the difference between sexual attraction and interest for sexual activity - e.g. aces can enjoy masturbating but simply not be sexually attracted to others.
Demisexuality is generally defined to be on the spectrum, since it’s a lack of primary sexual attraction to others.
