Well, in our culture, every sexual orientation gets a label and a definition, a 26-year-old

anonymous female listener has been considering those categories and she writes into us.

Hello, Pastor John, what are your thoughts on the sexual orientation category of A-sexual,

of people who experience no general sexual attraction to others?

This seems to be me currently.

Am I broken?

Is something wrong with me?

Or do you think in the Christian life, this would be a God-given signal that one has

the permanent gift of singleness?

At first, I thought so, but then I see another category for those who are demisexual, those

who experience sexual attraction to someone but only after a close emotional connection,

has first been formed.

I think I may be asexual, but I don't know.

Perhaps I could be sexually attracted to a man later on.

In light of 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verses 6 to 11, does the Bible applaud asexuality?

And how should a currently asexual young woman proceed in thinking about singleness and

marriage that embraces singleness and ministry opportunities, but leaves open the possibility

of marriage in the future?

Pastor John, what would you say to this young female listener?

You know, I hadn't planned to say this, but yesterday I took a walk with my wife and I

said, hey, I've been thinking about some APJ questions and I paraphrased this one to her

about a woman who thought she had no sexual attraction to me and as a single woman.
