You have a good wife.

Sorry about your family. Thats wrong in so many ways.
Some family members sure dont act like family (some of my family is like that).

Its sad.

once again, decisions and commitments like that are easier to stick to when you know and accept all parts instead of ignoring parts and clinging to others.

I'm 28 and just lost my virginity a few months ago. It was not good. I met a girl, we became friends, got drunk and ended up having sex. She didn't orgasm...and neither did I. It felt very...plain. It felt weird to touch somebody else's body, to be so close to someone like that and to have a part of my body inside them. I'm not saying I don't want to have sex again. I'm just saying the thought of being so physical with someone makes me very uncomfortable.

It's just a deeper more intimate love, and it's a truly unconditional love. We have really been through thick and thin together and yet our love has always still kept us together. There's no giving up. It's the only love that I find to be truly unconditional.
Temporary condition?

Anyway, my point is, an asexual marriage is different from a sibling relationship in that the love is much deeper and unconditional. Most family and sibling relationships are at least somewhat conditional or even forced because of blood/legal ties.

Women think different than men. Once you've upset them or hurt them in any way...they don't want to be intimate with you and this can last for days or weeks.

Sex is needed to build a marriage for some people, or even maybe for most people, but not for all people.
Could you multiply?

Kevin, I'm no authority but what you've written is signs of either physical or mental (mostly) issues that you should address.

The touch, feel, taste, sexuality of another person can be one of the great joys in life. Could it be because your not into women and have a guilt you can't deal with. Have you considered you should be with a man ?

Just guessing here but sometimes we people don't deal or face who we are. Either way talking to a professional might help.

I'm not into men. I thought I might be gay and in the closet, but I just can't find men attractive. I do cross-dress every now and then and love it. Guys do hit on me when I dress up and I find it very annoying should it get to the point of touching and grabbing. I like women and I do want a girlfriend, but anything beyond snuggling (and even snuggling at times) just feels...not deserved and it makes me uncomfortable.
