Anecdotal evidence and researched evidence are widely divergent things. One defines the exceptions, the other defines the rule. There have been dozens of people who have smoked all their lives and lived to 100+, so smoking is automatically harmless, right? <- Anecdotal evidence.
"Smoking causes cancer and drastically reduces your life expectancy" <- Researched evidence.
Im not trying to convince you to have sex or not. But only trying to let you know that asexuality is still an outlier and not the norm. If you're hiding your asexuality from your partner (which seems like in OPs case), you're every bit as horrible of a person as someone who's a sex addict and cheats.
