Hello. Are you asexual? Do you think this has made you more isolated? Do you find it difficult being in social situations?
Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
Best wishes, Michael.

Hiya Michael.
I’m not asexual atm but I’m considering it in the future.
I’m just not enjoying sex so much right now so I don’t see the point.
I hope my bf doesn’t leave me over it I like holding hands and things 
I find social situations difficult for several reasons
I feel ugly
I feel restless
I feel anxious
I feel irritable
Short attention span

asexual != celibate
It’s not a choice, it’s a sexual orientation.

Being tired of sex doesn’t make you asexual. Not wanting to have sex doesn’t make you asexual. It’s not a temporary state of being. Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I do have sexual attraction. Just don’t wanna do it.

Well, I hope you and your bf can continue your *ahem* “extracurricular activities” shortly.

I’m asexual.
It’s definitely put a damper on my social interactions.
Whenever I find a potential partner and we get along well, they find an excuse to break it off when they find out sex is not an option.
First, they bargain. They try to tell me I just haven’t had a patient partner and that I just need to get used to sex again.
Then, when they find out I can’t and won’t, they get frustrated and leave.
Even after I tell them it’s caused others to get frustrated and leave.
It makes flirting really awkward. I don’t want sex, but I do want intimacy, but most people can’t tell them apart and it frustrates me.

I would say I am asexual because that’s how I live in reality but I keep having these thoughts and dreams that suggest otherwise. The illness has made the lifestyle a requirement because of a combination of factors involving the cost of meds, weight gain, bad vision making it impossible to drive, poverty, the inability to work, social anxiety, ect. I could have theoretically had something other than an asexual life but I would have had extreme difficulty having a relationship with anyone so it just wasn’t a good idea (my anxiety makes living in close quarters with another person impossible which is why I chose a group home with my own room). My body which now looks awful was my only selling point and I wanted to offer more but I never achieved that. I will live the asexual life for its remainder.
Yes, exactly. I am asexual, but not aromantic. Though I don’t actively seek out any partners, romantic or otherwise, there are about a handful of people I’d be willing to enter a romantic relationship with. At the end of the day, I only really want friends, not lovers, and I don’t understand why people still try to woo me despite my openness and clarity on the matter, as if they’re the guy or gal who will suddenly lift me off my feet.
Oh, and @anon35453467, I didn’t lie to you about going to bed. I did go to sleep, but woke up because I needed to use the bathroom.
I’m definitely not asexual. I’m bisexual. But, my behaviors are abstinent for the most part. Ever since I went through menopause, I’m just not all that interested anymore. But, that’s pretty normal.
I’m heterosexual but not interested in sex. I get attracted to some men but don’t think of sex a lot. I lost my libido with my meds years ago. I have sza and take two AP’S.
