'''Asexuality''' is a general term or self-designation for people who do not exhibit sexual attraction, or who otherwise find [[human sexual behavior|sexual behavior]] unappealing. There is debate as to whether this is a [[sexual dysfunction]] or a [[sexual orientation]]. Furthermore, there is disagreement over the exact definition of the word. The term is sometimes used as a [[gender identity]] by those who believe their lack of sexual attraction places them outside the traditional definitions of [[gender]]. There has been little research done on asexuality, but those studies that have been conducted suggest that, if it is a sexual orientation, it is among the least common.
