Of course asexuality exists.

As to why, there's no other reason to give other than the fact that asexual people literally exist. It's just as valid as every other orientation, but there is barely any visibility for asexual people because sex is just seen as the "done thing".

So nothing sexual interest you?

Some things interest me, I just simply do not care enough about sex to then act upon that interest. Hence I have no sexual attraction.

Remember that asexuality is defined as: ''the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in sexual activity''.

In some cases I find sex quite repulsive. I'm more into romantic intimacy than sex.
Of course it exists, the question is what causes it. My guess is that it may be down to low levels of certain hormones causing a low sex drive, perhaps testosterone in men.

Many asexuals distinguish between having a sex drive and having a sexual attraction.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Many asexuals do have a sex drive, some have a very high one in fact. However, that doesn't mean they have a wish to act on it, and in the event that they do, it's just fulfilling a need rather than actually having any sexual attraction or desire for the act itself.
