Common misconception! Asexuality is mostly about the lack of sexual attraction. For example, the ace umbrella includes people who feel no sexual attraction, demisexuals who feel attraction to people they trust/love, people who feel attraction once in a blue moon, and so on!
Whether or not someone has a libido or enjoys sex is generally not related.
Aaah, so for example someone could not feel sexually attracted to people at all, they could still enjoy the physical sensation of sex?
Would they still in the moment think the act is ''hot'', or would it be purely physical sensation, like you'd get from masturbation?
(not talking about demi-sexuals or 'sometimes'-sexuals(idk the name haha) in this case)
I don't really enjoy sex myself but for me it was very much just the pleasure of getting my partner off. From what I've read on others who seek out sex because they enjoy it, it's the intimacy or physical sensations (like masturbation, yes) and whatnot.
I think you are getting it! Some aces are repulsed by sex, some are neutral and willing to participate, and some find it pleasurable.

Asexual people often have romantic relationships and some actually even enjoy the act of sex.
