What is your guys' opinions on asexuality?

I'm not gonna lie, I don't understand it well so I'm still forcing opinion. I don't understand how people say they're asexual but still love sex. Not saying it's not true I just don't get it. Some people don't even think asexuality is real. And others think they're just as oppressed as the rest of LGBT (no one's ever been murdered for being asexual as far as I know though). Let me know your opinions and we can hash it all out.
