I've been informed recently about this.
I thought it was had no sexual feelings, or had sex, but apparently not.
Now I know better.

I absolutely didn't laugh, promise.

If you do an Internet search for relevant keywords, for example "asexual" and "promiscuity", you'll find that some years ago "asexual" became an umbrella term to include those who enjoy sex and have active sex lives. I'll leave to others to speculate on what's been the cause of this and who might benefit from the redefining of "asexual". What I will say is that it follows the familiar patttern of "queering" some people's sexual boundaries.
