What is asexuality?

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction towards others. In other words, it is the absence of interest or desire for sexual activities.

Asexuality is essentially not having sexual attraction to anyone. However, it is a little more complicated than that because there is an entire spectrum of asexuality- but the basis is aro (aromantic) and ace(asexual) Some people are one of the two, others are both. Aro means you so not want to have a romantic relationship, and ace means you do not want a sexual relationship. So if you are aro ace, you do not want any type of relationship. However there is still more in the spectrum of asexuality because there is gray sexual and demisexual which is a whole other story... basically demisexual is when people don't experience sexual attraction until that really like the person, and there's a bunch of different variations of grey sexual. So anyways, everything I've said so far can be paired with another sexuality- ex: ace lesbian, which would be like a regular lesbian, except you wouldn't have sexual attraction. This causes a lot of controversy because a straight person could potentially say they are aroace homosexual...but that's another story. So, in conclusion, asexuality is pretty complicated.

An asexual person is somebody who doesn't feel any sexual attraction to any gender, therefore asexuals can enjoy being sexually active and not be afraid of it, some can prefer abstinence too and it's okay: the only characteristic of asexuality being that a person has no attraction for any gender.

Being asexual means experiencing no sexual or physical attraction to anyone. An asexual may still experience romantic attraction (wanting to date)

For me, my asexuality is simply experiencing attraction to no genders. Some asexuals enjoy sex, while others are repulsed by it. It has little to do with sex itself, it's really just about the genders or lack there of that one is attracted to.

if someone's asexual, that means they don't feel sexual attraction to any specific person. they can want to have sex, they can like sex, but they don't want to have sex with any specific person.

Asexuality is where we do not feel attracted to anyone sexually. Along with heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality, this is one of the major sexual orientations.

It's something wherein a person lacks sexual attraction or interest towards other people or an activity.

Well, easy answer, it's when you don't feel sexually attracted to anyone of any gender, and is a completely separate thing from just choosing not to have sexual relations. You can be asexual and still have a romantic orientation, such as heteromantic, homoromantic, or any of the other orientations that one can have in a sexual orientation, just not in that sexual way. Asexuality is a spectrum, like many things, and you can have asexuals who are entirely repulsed to the notion of sex and feel that attraction to absolutely no one ever, but you can also have asexuals who still feel sexual attraction, just not a lot/frequently, or anywhere in between.

Asexuality is when you are not interested in having sex with your partner. This does not mean you are not interested in having a parther, you just rather not get touchy touchy with them. This also does not mean that you will not have sex, just that that is not what you are directly looking for in a relationship. Asexuals usually look for someone's heart, how they act, not how they are in bed. Some people may think that this is odd, but it is perfectly normal, just as being bi, pan, or gay is. I support asexuals fully.
