Moon_mommy Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi everyone that reads this. Im not sure where I fit in, in life I guess. I do have 2 daughters and im married. But I've never really been sexually attracted to my husband or anyone else. I've always just thought it was something you did when you loved someone. Sometimes I enjoy it but most of the time I cant wait until its over. And ill say and do whatever to make it go by as fast as I can. I do masturbate when im stressed out or cant sleep. The endorphins help relax me. I just thought something was wrong with me. If anyone has any insight please share. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Jade Cross Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Welcome Moon_mommy Causes for disinterest in sex and attraction can vary. You could be ace; many people get into sexual relationships or have sex out of the idea that just have to do it, it will come as a result of love, will feel good with practice, etc. Since we are constantly bombarded with the idea, it isnt unusual that many people dont question it. The reason could be biological, such as a low libido. People who are or have been on medications such as antidepressants have been known to lose libido. It could be health related. Contrary to what we may believe, we can quite easily fall into a life-long routine that leaves us exhausted but we justify it by any means and even turn a blind eye to its effects. There are some FAQ threads here where you can check to help you get started on finding out what the cause can be. Link to post Share on other sites

fall_all_year Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Moon_mommy - I feel like could have written that post myself. I especially relate to the part about just wanting it to be over any time I engage with my husband. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. Wikipedia has great information about asexuality. Asexuals are a small percentage of the population but that doesn't mean it's wrong or not real. I hope that educating yourself on the subject of asexuality will give you some comfort.
