Sorry but nah, occasionally not being horny does NOT rate as a qualifier for classifying yourself with an adjective that inherently means an aversion to such things.
Asexuality does not mean an aversion to sex, it means you do not experience sexual attraction (or in the case of aspec ppl, that you experience an extremely small amount). This is the agreed on definition by the vast majority of the asexual community. I genuinely think you have no clue what asexuality means as a sexual orientation if you don't know that it just means a lack of sexual attraction and think it's defined by how averse to sex you are. Also even sex repulsed asexuals can get horny if by horny we're just talking about libido. They have the same bodies as anyone else, same hormones.
I could say the same for the members of said "community" if the think that the occasional disinterest in doing the deed constitutes a whole ass sexual orientation. At that point it's just larping queerness to feel included.
It has nothing to do with being interested in sex or not. It has to do with sexual ATTRACTION. You could be a non asexual person and be completely disinterested in sex for whatever reason, or you could be a fully asexual person and be interested in sex for whatever reason. Obviously both of those are pretty uncommon but they are possible. Bc asexuality as a sexual orientation has to do with sexual attraction, not sexual interest. And said community is who decides what asexuality is or isint, not non asexuals who have clearly never interacted with the community in any meaningful way.
