Trying to conceive


Butterfli

Recommended Posts

Hi, Im new to this and feel stupid being here.

My partner identifies as asexual and asked me to check out this site a while ago.

While Im ok with this, he desperately wants to start a family (I do too), but we can as he cant have sex (or ejaculate to be able to use artificial insemination).

The stress is unbearable and I dont think we are going to get through this.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm sure you're not alone here. A lot of asexuals are physically able to have sex and conceive naturally, and many do so for the purposes of having kids, but I know others who can't or won't. Some are incapable, and some just find the whole experience unbearable. Whichever one it is, there are options available. There's In Vitro, sperm donors, and adoption. As far as adoption goes, there's a lot of demand for really young Caucasian children, but a desperate need of good homes for visible minorities or older children. Just something to consider.

Hmmm, I would think twice before taking this step. There is in vitro or adopting a sweet angel, but I wouldn't bring an innocent soul in this kind of relation unless you are 100% sure you can live all your life with no sex.

I did considered in vitro since my husband cannot have sex with me, but changed my mind. It's not right having a baby in a family where things between parents are not that strong.

They could probably take his sperm without him ejaculating. You just have to ask the fertility specialist, tell him/her the situation.

First off, don't feel stupid for being here. This forum is designed for questions like your. I don't have any experience with this, but I am sure that a doctor could remove sperm without ejaculation, but that could be a rather expensive surgery. I think that your best option would be adoption. That is what I plan to do in several years. Through adoption you can offer a safe home for a child and also not contribute to this ridiculously overpopulated world. If you really want to physically bear a child, you could consider using a sperm donor if your partner doen't mind.
