Even very young people! I've met some who think sex is an unworthy chore where their performance (or lack thereof) is judged, they have to fake, waxing is an annoying prerequisite etc.
Pardon my ignorance on this subject, but if you're looking for a close relationship without any sexual or romantic component, isn't that basically just a friendship?
That's what I'm thinking.

No. There is something very powerful called spiritual love. It can include sex but doesn't have to. To help you picture this think about all the lovers in real life and fiction that were unable to sexually consummate their love. You can't deny they were/are still lovers.

After some thought, I was wondering if any of the asexuals out there have chosen a relationship to fulfill the need to be with someone, without the burden of having to put out sexually. Is it generally an opposite sex partnership or could it also be same sex?
You lost me at "burden of having to put out sexually"....
There are many seniors who live "Asexual", not by choice, but age takes it's toll, both physically and mentally.
Companionship is their spiritual love.
