johnnybluecollar Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Good morning everyone. I've recently discovered that asexuality resonates with me and have been reading, reading, and reading. A few nights ago I guess I "came out" to my partner and mother of my child. I guess you might ask "How are you fathering children if you're asexual?" I asked myself that as well. We haven't been physically intimate for almost a year and, as with all of my past relationships, the lack of sex has put a great deal of stress on our relationship. At least on her part. I am completely comfortable without sex. it feels good to say it. Being able to accept that it's not something wrong with me. So now I've begun sorting through what has been conditioned behavior and what is really me. Life feels a little less heavy. Thank you, AVEN. I'm excited to explore and talk with all of you.

If it's any help, this didn't spring to my mind. Asexuality covers a wide range of personal experience and life stories, you'll certainly find others here who can say the same Link to post Share on other sites

I’m 33, divorced once, remarried, and Mom to 2 kids. I just recently understood what asexuality meant when I went looking for a diagnosis for what was wrong with me. It’s a lot to work out at this age when we should be just adulting. Link to post Share on other sites
