Happy coming out day!

I wish anyone who took today to come out as whatever they are the best of luck.
As for me, I'm out as bisexual to my closest of friends. My family is pretty accepting, but I don't want to deal with any potential prying questions from them. I think that I'm polyamorous as well, but since I'm terribly unlucky in the whole relationship department (read: I've never been romantically involved with anyone), I've never had any opportunity to really see.
Going off on a little bit of a tangent, asexuality and aromanticism are extremely difficult for me to wrap my head around. It's partly due to the fact that I'm a pretty damn sexual creature and I crave intimate relationships, but mostly due to the fact that, from a scientific standpoint (and that's my default mode of thinking), it doesn't make sense. I'm not going to give any asexuals or aromantics trouble because of a facet of themselves that they can't control, but I'm completely unable to understand it, either.

Two of my siblings are asexual, one is aromantic. From a scientific standpoint, one of my asexual siblings does not produce enough estrogen nor testosterone, so they don't desire any sexual relationship. One of my siblings is Demisexual, and he only ever really finds a sexual connection after finding a romantic relationship and proceeding with that relationship for an extended period of time.

OP
Demisexuality makes sense. Asexuality due to hormone issues makes sense. I fail to understand a cause of asexuality in cases where the individual is otherwise normal (for lack of a better word), though. I suppose that I just want to know the reasons for everything.

What's that supposed to mean?

You should know that it doesn't mean anything.

You don't say anything that means nothing.
