Why do people make fun of me? I am not sure why society finds me "weird". In some countries across the world, being a virgin is a good thing and is respected. Someone also told me not too long ago that I may be...."Asexual".



Please.....mature and nice answers only. Thanks.
No..I do not think this happens often but it does occur..
I had a friend whom is all of the above..finds women attractive and so forth..
state to me that he is asexual...does not get sexually aroused..
He was married..for awhile and for him sex? Is more like a workout..and he will do it.
He has stated that he thinks women are hot..kim K..and so forth but he does not have a sexual drive..bottom line..
This is possible..just not typical

The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) - IMDb great movie, Jeff Bridges is sort of asexual.

I am more concerned about your regard of non sexual intimacy than actual sex.
What about hugging, holding, intimate contact and just general closeness with someone? I can understand how the anxiety involved with sex could drive someone away but hugging and holding is such a low pressure form of release I would be concerned if you didn't at least need or desire that kind of contact at this stage.

If I presented you with a totally beautiful woman (or man as the case may be) who looked, acted and smelled perfect according to your non sexual tastes, would you not at least want to be close to them and / or hold them?

Because you are not "disinterested" in sex, you are REPULSED by it. You have a strong emotional reaction to sex. That is not simple asexuality.

Being afraid of something is different from being repulsed by it.

I don't find sex repulsive per se, but I don't think it's all people make it out to be. All you do is oooo aaaahhh, throw in some moaning and fall asleep. Big whoop. Should I meet the RIGHT woman and not some trick, that could change

There is more than the ooh and the ahh and falling asleep. There is the being that close the person you love. The feeling of almost 'oneness'

OP it sounds like it is the thought of the act and not the actual act, since you have not had sex.

I have to also wonder if you have never touched yourself in that area and thought for a second that it felt good.

I am not trying to be nosy or disgusting or non pg13, I am just wondering.

I really have nothing else to add because I like it just fine, and could not imagine not liking it. With this said, I am not going to also fault someone for being the opposite, but I would want to get to the bottom of it, as some have said, Humans are very sexual creatures..

No I would not. Why would I hug a random person or get that close to them? Also, I am not sure what you mean by "non-sexual". I hug my family members all the time.

I am both repulsed and disinterested in it. I am sure you are repulsed by a lot of things.
