Do asexual's get horney?

I doubt it is black and white but by definition no, not often.

No, because if you get horny there must be an object of that affection, a desire for sexual stimulation and therefore a sex drive. A sex drive equals attraction to something in order for the drive to be active. So not asexual.

People who say they aren't attracted to anything yet get horny are not asexual, just "sexually immature" lacking correct sexual development. Very common.

I'm asexual and I don't get horny. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on something but then again I don't find touching someone's privates any more interesting than touching their arms or whatever is the body part you find the least interesting.

Math exercises perhaps

Isn't the whole point of asexuality that you don't feel sexual/horny?

The one who I know says he doesn't get horny. I guess it depends on the cause of the individuals asexuality. If it's a biological cause - a lack of a certain hormone or chemical in the body - then it makes sense that they wouldn't get erections or get wet because the innate drive for sex requires certain hormones. If it was caused by something non-biological then they might get horny but have some sort of psychological block from having sex, or not be attracted to humans but something else and never come into contact with the object that arouses them. Just brainstorming :P

What I don't know is if most asexuals get inexplicable erections when they wake up in the morning or not. I don't want to swamp my one asexual friend with a million questions about it :P

Some do, some don't. It looks like there are a lot of myths about sexuality getting passed around, so here's a guide that uses analogies to explain different types of asexuality: http://demisexuality.tumblr.com/post/21067993174/food-analogies-to-explain-asexual-attitudes-toward-sex

Asexuals by definition lack interest in sex and aren't sexually attracted to others (or themselves).

That means they typically don't feel horny, nor have any urge to masturbate.

I gues maybe they would think of themselves?
I don't really know. Now you have me all fucked up in the mind!

This is an old post, but I can't let so many ignorant comments go unaccompanied by a legitimate one!
So, asexuality, like most things, is on a spectrum. On one end you have GREYSEXUALS, who do fluctuate between sometimes experiencing sexual attraction, but not often or may only feel sexual attraction in very specific circumstances. On the other end you have APOTHISEXUALS who are 'sex repulsed. When most people think asexual they generally think of apothisexuals who never experience any form of attraction and are actively repulsed by sex. Most asexuals fall in the middle. This is where you have other subgroups of asexuals, such as Demisexuals, Lithrosexuals, Cupiosexuals, etc.

Now about arousal, or getting 'horney' as the questioner puts it. Yes some asexuals get aroused WHICH IS TOTALLY NORMAL and in no way invalidates their asexuality, but some do not, which is also fine. Asexuality means you have no sexual attraction TOWARDS any being or gender. This is not the same thing as experiencing sexual arousal which is a purely physical thing. You could compare it to teenage boys getting erections at inopportune moments without having being doing or thinking about anything particularly sexual. People get aroused, it happens, regardless if you're trying to or not.

So asexuals can get horney and they can masturbate. Some do not, some do. For some asexuals masturbation is an emotionless act, like brushing one's teeth, or jogging, done merely to expel sexual energy or frustration. For others it involves fantasies or eleven pornography. This may seem very non-ayeual but let me explain. Many asexuals say they do have sexual urges, even sexual fantasies, but that they are not directed at any person/people and that they have no urge to have sex themselves. Asexuals generally talk about their fantasies as being from a. third person point of you, observing the events instead of being directly involved. The individuals performing sexual acts may be characters, vague representations of males or females, celebrities, or even people the asexual knows, though this is rarely the case. The sexual feelings are sort of felt vicariously through these personas who do experience sexual attraction, though at no point does the asexual wish these sexual acts were being to or by them. An odd concept I know, but let me assure you it is true. Asexuals, such as myself, experienced being 'turned-off' by the thought of themselves in sexual scenarios, but other people or characters are fine.

I think there are many misconceptions about asexuality. It doesn't mean a person has no sexual urges, only that they are not directed at anyone. It does not mean a person does not masturbate, only that they have no desire to engage in sexual acts with another person. Not all asexuals are sex-repulsed, and may even have sex out of curiosity or to compare the experience to their own assumptions of what it is like. We have no urge or desire to have sex, doesn't mean we don't have all the parts producing the same hormones in our bodies.

Whelp, one poor asexual being traumatised by the above comments might one day see this and be comforted. suppose that is justification enough for this long-ass comment of a five year old post.

Wouldn't they think of asses?

I am aesexual. I was born tha way. There is a difference between people who claim to be aesexual and people who actually are. An aesexual human is born with no genetals. Like no testicals, no penis, no vagina. The only thing a human aesexual is born with is pee hole opening that looks like a vagina but doesn't work like one eg; no clit or g spot. It is simply there as an opening to give birth through.

How can a asexual be horney? They are not attracted to any sex ( It must feel bad)

i say yes.

just because they're not always interested in sex doesn't mean their bodies won't respond sometimes.

if they masturbate to ease the tension, who knows. maybe. but it's also possible they just ignore it too... after all that works for people who are sexual, so why wouldn't it work for asexual people as well?

Asexual means no sex drive. My cousin is asexual and she has never wanted sex in her life, nor does she ever want to have sex... Ha

My ex claims she's asexual, but I think she means she can take or leave sex.
She's on the Pill and seems to have some other genetic health problem and masturbates a few times a year.

She has no physical attraction towards anyone

I know someone who is asexual and he doesn't get horny but he pleases his GF. He's completely not up for sex though but he does want kids so if they take it to the next level, I suspect they'll have to start doing something!

I've heard that some do but I would think they aren't truly asexual then. They say they masturbate to themselves, I guess that means they are only doing it for their pleasure, they wouldn't do it to anything in particular...

I would guess so. I'm not familiar with the biological mechanisms of asexuals.

No true asexuals don't get turned on by the thought of others. Some asexuals get off on themselves so they master-bate.
