On 8th May University staff member and AVEN (Asexual Visibility and Education Network) member, Mark McClemont was interviewed on BBC Three Counties Radio about asexuality.
Someone who is asexual does not experience sexual attraction but may experience romantic attractions and may be straight, gay, bi, or pan in these attractions. There is a lot more information on the AVEN website including some definitions of how people identify and types of attraction.
You can listen to Mark’s interview in full on the BBC iPlayer (it starts at 06:45).
