Is it true that Asexuality is the same as celibacy?
No. Multiple reference works state directly that asexuality is distinct from celibacy: celibacy is a behavioral choice, while asexuality concerns lack of sexual attraction. Several other sources note asexuality should not be confused with celibacy.
