The study also cites some CLASSIC anti-asexual myths the asexual community can sing backwards:
🚫 "You can't be asexual if you had sex" (42%)
🚫 "You haven't met the right person yet" (26%)
🚫 "Asexual people don't exist" (11%)
(paraphrased)
All these are WRONG.
(The first one is wrong because asexuality is not a synonym for virginity. Asexuality is more about a longterm pattern (like with most/all sexual orientations). Many aces don't have sex, but sex is not "disqualifying" either.)
