There's probably gonna be some sort of terminological split in definitions between the two at some point.

It's very interesting that you say that because it's one of the reasons why I don't simply call myself "asexual" and why I don't identify with the community.

I remember discovering the asexual community over 10 years ago and being excited that I finally found people that are like me. But then I was immediately met with confusion at how...sexual...everyone was. People would masturbate regularly or even have sex regularly. I didn't get it and it didn't seem to fit to me.

A better descriptor for me would be someone that has a non-existent libido and cannot physically feel sexual pleasure, but that's a bit tmi for a general post.

There already is a term for this: Autosexual

That sounds quite a bit more narcissistic than just not having any sexual interest in others.
