Why don't people try to understand asexuality?

I'm asexual. I've never felt sexual attraction to anyone and don't feel the desire to have sex with anyone either which I'm fine with. However, I like big breasts, I like big bums and I also get aroused but regardless of this it doesn't change how I feel. The difference between me and someone who isn't asexual is that when a woman gives a sexual person an erection that man probably wants to have sex with her however, with an asexual they either just wait for it to go down or take care of it themselves and resume their day. A sexual man will see a sexy woman and think "I'd do her" but an asexual man wouldn't.

Do people see where I'm coming from?

I was reminded today of a discussion I had on another website where I was trying to educate people on asexuality however, it didn't go well at all. The problem was that the people were being very narrow-minded and seeing sexuality in a black and white view.

People assume that just because someone is an asexual they stop being human beings; men can't get erections and men can't like breasts or bums. This is a lie. You can see an attractive woman and get aroused because getting aroused tells you that 1) your body is healthy and 2) your body is ready for sex. However, just because your body is telling you it's ready for sex doesn't mean that in your mind you actually desire it. But people continue to think that if you get aroused it means you want sex which means you're not asexual, you're just suppressing your sexual desire.

I personally think the original post could have been explained better in terms of attraction but if he says he's asexual then he's asexual, it's not anyone's place to determine otherwise.

I am still coming to terms with whether or not I'm asexual but I can understand some of the points OP is making.

Arousal is separate from sexual attraction. Arousal is an innate reaction by the body to stimulus, sexual attraction is psychological

Suffering from a lack of sexual desire is a well-known symptom of depression. Have you spoken to a medical health professional about it?

Now that's just insulting.

How is it insulting? There is nothing to be ashamed of in your condition, and taking your frustration out on me won't make you feel any better.

I made a statement, I don't see how I'm taking anything out on you

And it's insulting that rather than think that people can just exist as something maybe they have depression. Don't you think people can be aware of themselves that they can know the difference between not experiencing sexual attraction and having depression? Nevermind the fact that asexuals can be happy and generally mentally and emotionally stable people.
