What terminology do we use for a person who is born without a sex drive? I don't know the terminology for that, but asexuality certainly isn't the best one for it, since it can also describe normally heterosexual types who can turn asexual on a whim.
Can an asexual become a heterosexual at will? I have no idea, that is a good question. Personally, I don't know much about the subject of natural asexuality, if there even is such a thing, so I couldn't really answer that.
You do realize, though, that the two are not correlated. So why are you bringing it up? Because it was always my understanding that asexual means no sex drive.
The most common form of sex drive being turned off that I have heard of has been as a symptom of depression or stress.

The kind of focus that removes sexual thoughts and feelings from your mind completely has got nothing to do with depression and stress. In fact, it's just the opposite. You'll never feel as good in your entire life as you will having that kind of experience.

I'm not one either, but I don't go around acting like I'm one when I'm not.
And it's not lik scientists have figured this out perfectly anyway. Believe it or not, guys, there's such a thing as "further research required". We shouldn't be too confident about some of the claims being made here, honestly ... on both sides.

That's exactly my point. Thank you.

I think there should be a bank holiday. August 11, Wanking Day. Why isn't there? Prudes!
Holy crap! I just realized that's today!
I was gonna say more, but I gotta go do. . . . something.
