Hah, Craig! I read the entire page and it doesn't seem to me that they have any clear idea what asexuality is. I can wrap my mind around being attracted to whomever and finding actual sexual contact not worth the bother or repellant easy enough. Here's what I don't get: If you feel arousal or attraction towards others but do not have sex how is that not a choice on your part not to have sex and celibacy by definition? Just because you're celibate because you don't feel compelled to include a partner doesn't make you asexual. You have attraction, arousal, act on the urge to masturbate and that's not sexuality?
The whole idea leaves me cold.

Of course, if I were asexual, I'd say, "The hole idea leaves me cold."

What if you have sex with a magnet, but you aren't attracted to it?
