We've been together (living seperately) for 4 months now but I think she'll leave me once she discovers the truth about my lack of sexual appetite. My last relationship ended because there wasn't too much sex. Sure, I can still do it a couple times just to please her but that's really not something that I go crazy about. Honestly I'm not a very sexual man; never was. Not even in my teens. I know this the norm. I tried to watch porn and all I see Is people making sounds and random movements. My fantasies are never sexual. It's rather about my gf and flying in the sky or sharing a romantic kiss at a restaurant. We haven't had sex yet. I believe I've always been asexual. I can love without having sex.

I really wish we would keep things at romance. I love going hiking with her, lay down on the grass and talk about science fiction, history or other topics, share a passionate kiss, talk over the phone, go to the movies, etc. I'm just not into the undressing and sex party too much. I guess I'm going to lose her too right?

You will if you are not compatible… and that’s a good thing.

Have you discussed this yet? Maybe she’s asexual too?

Hmm, if you know this to be an issue, maybe you should have mentioned this and discuss it earlier during the early stages of dating.

Sadly. I don't understand why it has to always be sex. I'm trying to understand why people go crazy over that.

No I haven't. It would be great if she was.

If she leaves you, it'll be due to your lack of communication and honesty, not because of your libido. Right now you're stringing her along and withholding information from her.

You need to tell her asap. You are not doing her (and yourself) a favor with dragging this out.

Agreed.
OP, you might be afraid that if you're UP-RONT about this, she'll leave...

But wouldn't you rather know sooner than later, IF she would leave you because of this?

Sounds like you might need a SERIOUS talk.

Communication is KEY here, right now. Spread that deck of cards on the table. Let her know where you're coming from. She may accept it...she may not.

But don't keep pretending.

What do you mean by "always be sex"? How many other relationships broke up because of your preference?

How old are you?

Red, you need to start off telling people in the forefront that you're asexual so that you aren't dragging others around the mud. It's a disgrace, wasting everyone's time.
