Just the thing!: There is a well written and informative website that's just what you're seeking: http://www.asexualityarchive.com/an-asexuals-guide-to-arousal/ It says more than I can say here. But, yes and yes. Human ways of being sexual include every possible combination and may be different at different stages of life. Have a good one!
