I had to think quite hard about this, since the images that enter my head during those times can be rather strange, but after running through all the fantasies I can recall, the one image that was always present in ALL of them, was the true Homoerotic image, the erect penis.
It explains why the only porn I'd ever buy was oral sex videos, or why my Tapestries sessions focused on interactions where the penis could be visible and described in detail. It's as if my brain, convinced by myself to be Homosexual, used the one image that signifies true Homoeroticism to fuel any sexual images that needed to come to mind.
You're not the only person I know who's come to that conclusion. (Edit: about themselves, not about you!) I think it's probably quite a comfortable place to be, and it doesn't exclude you from having relationships, even marriage and kids if you ended up wanting that.
Aha, same conclusion as me, although arrived at by a somewhat different route! I think I fit the "homoromantic" subcategory (as described on the Wikipedia page) as I'd love to find a... companion, partner, soul-mate, whatever you want to call it. I just don't see sex coming into it.
It's certainly handy to have a label you can give out when people ask you these things; saves having to explain it all from scratch every time. It is unfortunate, though, that "asexual" is so little known you kinda have to mostly explain it all anyway :p

Apparently, some people asexual describe it as 'non-sexual', but I'm sticking with the original term myself.
