Notes

  1. Responses for other included terms such as heteroasexual and biromantic asexual. In asexual discourse, these are subcategories of asexuality based on a distinction between sexual orientation and romantic/affectional orientation (cf. the AVEN wiki entry for “lexicon” at http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Lexicon).

  2. See, for example, the general FAQ on AVEN, http://www.asexuality.org/home/general.html.
