A new concept - and a great relief!

Of course, Facebook is where I discovered there are people out there like me. May not spend a lot of time here, but it is just nice to know you're here.

I am older than most of you, I'm sure. Married 42 years, my lack of desire was the cause of great hurt for a long time. I'm bipolar, and finally - at the 35-year mark - I "came out" to my husband and told him the only time I ever wanted/enjoyed sex was when I was either manic or drunk, or preferably both. Now, successfully medicated, I find sex boring, uncomfortable, and tedious. I told him, "I did it your way - and for you - for 35 years. Now, it's my turn." He was, of course aghast and said he didn't want to live like a monk. I said, "Well, that's up to you. It's not my problem anymore." I know I sound heartless, but I gave for 35 years. Now, I want to do what I want to do. I am retired!

We have 3 kids and 9 grands, and live as roommates. Suits me fine. I derive my satisfaction from enjoying them, and the critters on our farm.

Actually you're not that old. There a lot of asexuals in their 50s on here. In fact there's an entire section on here dedicated to them - http://www.asexuality.org/en/forum/32-older-asexuals/

Anyways welcome! I'm sorry to hear that you had to put up with sex for 35 years.  I know I couldn't do it. But at least now you're free of that responsibility :)

Hello there, and welcome to AVEN! :cake:

As part of my welcome to you, I'd like to point out some important threads that might be helpful in your first few days here. :) The Terms of Service is here. We recommend you read it over, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to send either myself or any other administrator or moderator (the "admod" team, as we're called) a message.  Also, there's a handy forum called Site Info, which has some useful information including a thread outlining who moderates which forum. If you ever need something done in or have questions about a specific forum, please message the mod of that forum. And if you have problems with the site in general, or any single member, please message any admod.
