Asexuality is about not experiencing sexual attraction, not about being interested in sex or not.
Some asexuals are also not interested in sex: Sex Repulsed
Some don't care: Sex indifferent
Some want it: Sex favourable
Of course, then there is the spectrum including Grey Aces: Sometimes feel sexual attraction under certain circumstances, and Demisexuals who are only sexually attracted when they have a strong emotional connection to someone.
There are other labels under the asexual-spectrum but those are the most well known.
Forgive me, but to me not experiencing sexual attraction reads the same as "not being interested" because you don't experience sexual attraction. (Why would you be interested in something you have no attraction to?) Cheers.
To answer the question in the brackets, it's not about being attracted to sex itself or not, it's about not being attracted to someone sexually (as in not finding a person sexually attractive). But sex can still be interesting and/or enjoyable to someone for various reasons besides being attracted to someone.
No, I corrected my post with more detail, hope you can see the edit.
Anyway, no people can be interested in sex for other reasons like enjoying the physical sensations etc, just because someone isn't sexually attracted to someone doesn't mean they aren't interested in the act itself.
I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one's Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

...just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex ~sometimes~. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.
Okidoke, hope you are getting what you want and need out of life fully consensually and everyone else are getting their needs and wants met too.
As for me, I'll keep not existing in both the streets and the sheets.
