We've come a long way in the past year when it comes to encouraging open and honest discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity. Despite having different experiences, needs and struggles, people want to learn about each other. And sometimes, it's just as easy as asking.

When it comes to asexuality, BuzzFeed Yellow did just that in a segment they called, "Ask An Asexual Person." The video, posted on November 20, features individuals who identify as asexual answering questions many of us have.

So, what is asexuality? According the clip below, it's "an orientation in which the individual does not experience sexual attraction," and so much more depending on the individual. Their answers to this question and more may surprise you, so watch and learn.
