Avoiding Affection May Not Signal Romantic Disinterest
Briefly

"Asexuality is not an intentional choice like celibacy; it involves a lack of sexual drive rather than a conscious decision to avoid intimacy or desire."
"In her research involving 349 participants, Higginbottom highlights the struggles asexual individuals face when dating, emphasizing their unique perspectives on platonic and romantic relationships."
"Estimates suggest that 0.4 to 6% of the global population identifies as asexual, a concept that has only recently gained visibility and recognition in both public and academic discussions."
"Higginbottom's work aims to shed light on the experiences of asexual individuals, advocating for more studies to better understand their romantic and sexual relationship dynamics."
