Are you sure you're not Vulcan? Even Vulcans turn into uncontrollable sex-crazed lust monsters once every seven years, though. Shit, is that what happened? The world's got about 18 months to brace itself then. (Or the men of metropolitan Victoria, at least.)

I sometimes think that at one point I was, but it was mainly that I wasn't interested in meeting women at that time, not because I had no sexual interest at all. Of course, lately, it's far from the case.

I'm the horniest SOB I know so I've had more issues from an overactive libido than lack of sexual desire.
I understand it though. Sex as a regular human function has so many stigmas and pressures attached to it and has for a long time. If you're not overly interested in sex I can see the hassles outweighing the gratification.

It's definitely worth digging further into studying the ace spectrum. There's a ton of different kinds of sexualities within it beyond just asexuality and aromanticism and it might give you a more specific idea of which suits you best.
I don't consider myself part of that spectrum but I have friends that are ace, including one that's happily married. I don't know if her husband is ace, but even if he isn't, he's cool with it.

Good talk, but maybe no more whacking off references, please, folks.

...my wife of almost 28 years came out last year as asexual.....we are both 50, and we still love each other very much. She will"help" me when its needed...oral ect...and we have only had intercourse twice in 13 months..I see a specialist every other month to help me deal with the loss of the physical act....tried hobbies....so i took up boxing to replace the "physical" act...it helped me to lose further weight, which is good for me anyway...ive thought about the options...paying a "pro", craigslist,etc....but we have been together for over 30 years...and i cant replace that. My family knows, as does our only daughter. None of her friends know, and only a select group of people i have know. I'm so sorry to hear that man, but mad props for picking up boxing and gaining traction, kudos.

I have Asperger's. While I'm not asexual, I genuinely prefer masturbation. It's a lot less sweaty and gross and you never judge yourself for having a bad wank. I probably have sex about once a month now. Screw it, I'll go ahead and co-sign that. I've never had sex and really I just can't at all picture it being any better. Doesn't help that honestly I just find naked people, both men and women, repulsive. even Finn balor?

Not asexual but I definitely am demi/greysexual. Basically, I'm rarely attracted to people and when I am it's only after I have gotten to know them and connected on some level. It's something I don't usually bring up to people though because it is much easier to say that I am bi/pan and leave it at that.

I suspect I am. Sex is like eating cauliflower, I can if I have to, but I would prefer not to. I sort of had a mental checklist of sexual things I ticked off doing because I felt like they were things everyone did, so I should try them at least once as well, but having tried them, I'm good. I'd rather read a book. I don’t seem to experience attraction the way other people describe it and the media depicts it; and frankly, kissing and everything beyond it is just unhygienic. I wish I could say I don't judge people who have these urges, but I do, even though I realise that biologically, I'm the weird one. But it's fascinating the way people behave in pursuit of sex and relationships - it's just so illogical. Are you sure you're not Vulcan? Fascinating.
