As I understand it, some ace people find sex gross and obviously want to avoid anything relating to it it, but some are neutral towards it. If they are with a partner that likes sex, then they may enjoy having sex because it makes their partner happy. Or maybe they find the physical sensations enjoyable, but not looking at porn/people. Or maybe they just want to do it for good prostate health.
They are not contradictory because “I don’t like sex” (which I didn’t actually say) doesn’t necessarily imply “I dislike the idea of sex”.
I think it varies from person to person, so yeah, more of a spectrum. I’m not ace myself and don’t follow the community that closely so I’m not sure the exact definitions.

So it’s the sexual attraction that’s missing, but not the sexual drive? or is it more of a spectrum?
