Meh. I'm on the fence, but if I was dating I don't know if I would want to go out with a man who can't have sex, I mean it is pretty much a big part of why people date.

Having the condition doesn't mean that you can never have sex. What it means for me is that I don't expect it to happen within the first few dates. Obviously, if a guy can't deal with not getting sex in the timeframe that he wants, he'll just move on and that's fine.

But you've dated guys longer than that and still didn't have sex, and you have no desire to have sex. I read that the condition is literally a reflex of the PC muscle which you have no control over. It prevents use of feminine hygiene, gynecological exams etc..

You don't want to have sex, you frame that a guy shouldn't want it in the first few dates (agreed), so you break up before it can GET to the point where sex would be a reasonable assumption.

I think there is a lot more going on here.

I've never broken up with a guy who I was really into.

You've never slept with him either, which seems more on topic.



It's up to you how you want to live your life.

I've only ever dated one person for more than a month or two. I barely knew the rest of the guys, so we didn't have sex.

I pretty much always offer to pay.

Again, going in circles here. You admittedly earlier one of the reasons you end things so soon is because you fear sex may come up or that they soon may expect it. It is a self defeating game plan.

You have tools (dilators) to address / test the medical concern, but your don't want to use them out of fear.

Until you start taking control and WANT to change the status quo, this will continue. It doesn't sound like you really really want this dynamic to change.

I disagree. That can be determined right away. If your looking for long-term stuff, sex is a good excuse to make sure that she does not look gross whilst nude. If you female it's a way to gauge his endowment.
