I am also perfectly able to ignore my sexual drives, as well as a certain range of my feelings. This is not something I do on a regular basis, nor something that affects my behaviour in any significant way. It's just a mental skill that is very useful. People who don't have will never understand it.
And I can see how that's a useful 'skill', but that's not being asexual.
Yes, actually, that's precisely what being asexual implies.
Asexuality can be arrived at in different ways. If we're to be precise in our use of language, however, this is the best way to describe this "skill".
