Donna1970 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, I'm Donna im not very good at introductions sorry. Im English age 47 a mum of 4 grown up children and 1 grandson. It's only recently realised I'm not totally weird and am not the only woman in the world who doesn't want sexual relationships! Ive gone from one extreme to the other over the years, in other words being very promiscuous and overly sexual to cringing just thinking about it . A lot of it has to do with past issues I think (sorry if I'm not supposed to say that) it's taken me a life time to learn how to say no and avoid anyone who wants anything from me and age 47 that's a pretty long time lol. Im a bit confused and sometimes a little sad because I would like to have some sort of a relationship with a man but at the same time I'm not good at them , my last relationship was extremely abusive and I vowed never to have one again..but 6 years on after having some me time I get lonely and wish I had something special with someone but without the sex and not too much touchy feely stuff. People , men in particular think I'm cold, messed up and just plain weird when I've tried to explain things to them. But to be honest I am a bit messed up when it comes to sex and relationships. i don't really have much confidence and don't know where or how I could even begin to meet people like me. Anyway sorry for wittering on ..I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say! Link to post Share on other sites
Atrytone Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi Donna, welcome to AVEN! I'm very happy you found us here. It can be difficult navigating relationships without a sexual component given the priority society places on those types of relationships but I promise you it's completely possible if that's what you want. For the record, you're definitely not weird or alone in not wanting a sexual relationship. I hope you have a good time here. There are a lot of resources and information available.

Curi Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Donna, you are not messed up and you are certainly not cold! It can be hard trying to find the right someone who understands you, just know that you're not alone. Welcome to AVEN Link to post Share on other sites
