How do you approach sex?

A categorisation could be helpful - even just for the person considering it. For me, such lists (and they are only theory for me because I'm not in a relationship and don't know if I ever will) have a self-exploratory aspect, even when I realise that the list of sexual-ish things I could perhaps try is extremely short.

The lists don't require being in a relationship to make one. You could make one now if you want, although if you never end up wanting to or getting the opportunity for sex, the list might go unused.

@Neshama - for some reason I can't click quote or mark your post, I really don't know why... So without quoting.

 

Sure, I agree. By mentioning relationship I just meant that I don't accept casual sex, so even if I wasn't sex-averse, it would be out of the question for me. But I agree that one can make such a list even if a relationship only remains a prospect. However... while I never have formally written it down, in a way I already have done such a list - through a lot of consideration about what kind of activities could be comfortable enough for me. Hence my conclusion is that such a list would be extremely short. I definitely wouldn't enter a relationship without telling the prospective partner that:

  • I'm effectively asexual;
  • I have never had sex;
  • I never feel a desire to have sex;
  • nudity and the idea of personally having sex are very uncomfortable and frightening to me, so if a partner decided "I can wait for you to become comfortable with it", she would be deceiving herself.

So, because of the above, the logical solution for me is a sex-free relationship. Still, I could perhaps agree to try a tiny bit of compromise, to see if there are sexual-ish activities I could be comfortable with (kissing breasts - with me as the giving partner only? clothes-on rubbing and humping?). But I realise how deep is my discomfort with nudity, how I just couldn't stand being naked in another person's presence, and, because of this, I already know that my boundaries are so close that no partnered sex whatsoever is probably the best choice.

I think those are important things to discuss with a potential partner regardless, as an assumption of comfort with casual nudity on one partner’s part could be a big issue when the other partner feels very differently about it.

More like kink-community-style.

Yeah. Lists like that are huge in kink. 

 

And it doesnt remove spontaneous sex. If I have a list of 100 things and I told you I like 20, will try 10, wont do 50 and the other 30 are maybes ... well. You can try the maybes, likes or will try ones. And I have no idea what it will be. Thats a lot of things we could do. 

 

My partner and I did a list like that. It doesnt mean you cant do things you said no to. Doesnt mean you only do your likes. It just means your partner knows what is OK to do and not do and what needs some talking. Like... if I tie my spouse up, blindfold and gag her.. she cant really talk about what she likes. There is safe word/signals, but I need to know what would be OK to do because you dont want to ever hit the safe word line if you can avoid it. It is a spot that means something went wrong. You want to keep it in consensual and comfortable and fun territory with knowing what you are allowed first.
