Asexuality: Not being sexually attracted (to anyone)
What is the morality regarding this? The most common defenses are of Paul saying to not get married if possible and then also Jesus saying to be like little children. Furthermore, is this a natural thing? In other topics I have heard "homosexuals are just heterosexuals with unnatural affection" or something to that effect; if so, where does that leave asexuality? Is it really a thing? And say it is okay to be asexual; can two asexuals marry? 1 Cor 7:5 seems to say no, but then 1 Cor 7:6 says it's a concession, not a command, therefore maybe it's okay. And if it is, what about an asexual and a heterosexual? If they marry, should the asexual ignore the lack of sexual desire/attraction/etc.?
