Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about 3 rare "sexual disorder" diseases. These diseases not only affect the quality of life of patients, but may also affect their mental health and relationships.

Through this article, we hope that you will have a deeper understanding of these rare diseases and be able to better understand and support those affected by these diseases.
Asexuality: A misunderstood sexual orientation
1. What is asexuality?
Asexuality is a sexual orientation that refers to the absence of sexual attraction or desire for others. Unlike common sexual orientations (e.g., heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual), asexuals do not have sexual desires for any gender. However, asexuals may still have romantic feelings and deep emotional connections, just that this connection does not include sexual desire.
2. Asexuality
Asexuality manifests itself in a variety of ways, with some people having no sexual desire at all, while others may have a slight sexual desire but are reluctant to practice it. Asexuals may experience the following:
No interest in sex
Despite not being sexually attractive, there may still be romantic feelings
Some asexuals may have a small amount of sexual desire but are averse to actual sex
3. The psychological effects of asexuality
Asexuals often face misconceptions and discrimination, and society's high regard for sexuality makes them feel isolated and alienated. Many asexuals feel stressed and have low self-esteem because they can't conform to society's expectations of sex, and may even doubt their normality.
4. How to support asexuals
For asexuals, the most important thing is to understand and respect their sexuality. Here are some ways to support asexuals:
Don't question their sexuality or try to change it
Respect their personal boundaries and privacy
Provide emotional support and understanding
