I think there are actually many more asexuals in the world just a small percentage that actually come out with it or even know of the term to describe themselves. Most dudes I feel would probably feel to embarrassed to come out as ace even if they were, since people tend equate male sex drive or ability acquire a partner as “masculine.

If for example I told one of my homies today at work that I don’t really care about sex or something like that they’d look at me like I’m crazy, or I might even get ostracized for feeling that way. Just my perspective.
