"There's so many types of sexuality, but one that I think is overlooked is to be asexual," Cox said. "I am absolutely asexual, I am a virgin at 34 years old." Beth remarked that she doesn't view his music as asexual, and Cox agreed with that assessment. "I feel attracted so much to music that is asexual but... my musical life is very much a pendulum."
