Steven and Emily met through a dating site for asexual people and have been in a loving relationship for several months. They cuddle a lot but don't touch in a sexually arousing way. One day Emily catches Steven masturbating. She accuses him of lying to her about his asexuality. Was he necessarily lying?
A) Yes. Asexual individuals feel no sexual desire and no physiological arousal, so they never masturbate.
B) Yes. Asexuality is a temporary condition, and masturbation means that the individual is again feeling normative sexual desire.
C) No. Asexual individuals feel little or no sexual attraction, but they still masturbate as frequently as normative individuals.
D) No. Asexuality means little or no sexual attraction to certain partners, but normative attraction to other potential partners, usually of the same sex.
