Aa a woman, I would really appreciate just a casual statement like “I’m not really into sex”, especially made early on like in the first, second, third date. Or from a co-worker, whatever. Or “I’ve always had a really low sex drive”. Certainly good friends could get a more detailed explanation of asexuality etc., but casually throwing it out there like it’s no big deal would be welcome.

I see your point, Kat. A simple approach would be better. Eventually, it will come to that. First, I believe we must have a sure handle on who we are. Next, we have to clearly explain the statement “I’m not really in sex”. Just think about the various meanings that statement can hold. If you say that to me an asexual I can feel ya because I’m right there.
However, if you say that to a straight person – they’d most let likely ask you – What do you mean by that? And the beat goes on.
