Very little research exists on human asexuality, defined as “absence of sexual attraction.” While asexuality research seems on the surface to be a very specific field of research, the exceptional nature of asexuality may provide a unique human model for studying sexual differentiation of the brain, cognition, and behaviour. Thus, asexuality may be the key that unlocks our understanding of all the sexualities (typical and atypical).

几乎没有关于人类无性行为的研究，无性行为被定义为“性吸引力的缺乏”。虽然从表面上看，无性恋研究似乎是一个非常具体的研究领域，但无性恋的特殊性质可能为研究大脑、认知和行为的性别分化提供了一个独特的人类模型。因此，无性恋可能是打开我们对所有性行为(典型和非典型)理解的钥匙。
