"complex interplay of diverse factors," including hormonal, genetic, maternal immune system,
and environmental factors (Jones et al., 2017). Other researches indicate that genetics, mental
health, and cultural influences are discussed and noted to correlate with the origin of asexuality.

individuals presenting to a physician with lack of sexual attraction should be mentally assessed
for psychological difficulties arising because of the condition. They claim asexuality is a unique
