With all due respect, most of them are not lying or deluded.
Yes it is rare. In your post you mentioned that approximately 1% of the population, according to some sources, is asexual
According to you, what is "true" asexuality supposed to be?
The message board I go to just defines it as "lacking sexual attraction". It doesn't strictly mean being for all intents and purposes an android. Some of these people have romantic relationships and attractions to other people based on things besides sex. Others don't even have a romantic drive. Some consider themselves "demisexual" - a kind of grey area. etc. etc.
And really, when it comes down to it, why should it be perfrectly acceptable to believe someone is sexually attracted to the opposite sex, the same sex, or both sexes, but somehow preposterous to believe they are attracted to neither?

Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
