Purple Wanderer Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi, Long story short, twenty something... Male and confused as hell. Always just assumed I had a very very low sex drive... and have tried to force myself into it to keep partners happy etc resulting in much stress and frustration all around. Started being honest with myself a couple of months ago. Realised whilst I'm attracted to women, I have zero interest in sex. I'm here to get some perspective... and learn something!

Lichley Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Welcome! It’s never a good idea to force yourself to do something to make someone else happy, especially at your own expense. There’s always someone who will feel the same way, and maybe you’ll find a special someone on here. Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Wanderer Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks, I always assumed that because I was attracted to women it couldn't possibly be Asexuality. Frustrating how much time and energy I spent in the past trying make things work Link to post Share on other sites

Gldlynch Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey MrJ Welcome to AVEN and the Ace gang (: It's completely normal to mistaken low libido for asexuality. Low libido is having a low sex drive, asexuality is purely based on how we don't feel any attraction towards others in a sexual nature. Frustration is a natural discovery process, it's a pity most of us have to go through it but it's also lead all of us to this site! I hope you become enlightened through these forums.
