I’m a 30 year old asexual virgin

[AlizeeEasy]

I’m an asexual virgin. Happy to answer any questions that anyone might have :)

What did you have for dinner?

Had a cheeky takeaway, burger and chips

Do you get really fed up with people telling you you just haven't met the right person?

What's an asexual Virgin then?

Luckily these days I don’t get much of that. I had a friend who told me I wasn’t asexual and I was just saying I was to avoid having to meet people, but everyone in my life these days is very respectful

I’m a virgin, who does not feel sexual attraction to anyone. I have no desire to date or enter any romantic or sexual relationships

Are you interested in having a romantic relationship at all (minus the sex)?
Would you like children?

I’ve only entertained the idea of a relationship once in my life, with a male friend who I was very close to. But it didn’t end up happening and I’ve had no other wishes to be in a relationship, and though I do love children, especially my nieces and nephews, I do not want children of my own

My sister is late 30s and asexual.
The thought of any physical contact with someone (romantic or otherwise) is repulsive to her.
Do you feel strongly against the thought of physical contact with someone or is it just something that doesn't interest you?

Have you ever masturbated?

Why do people do this on these threads? Passive aggressive little snotty digs to show they’re just soooo uninterested. Like if you don’t find the AMA interesting you don’t have to post.

My question would be - do you ever wish there was more platonic cohabitation? Like that it was more common for two people to live together and support each other without having a romantic/sexual relationship?

Are you male or female?
Have you ever kissed or done anything other than sex with another person?

Are you happy being asexual or do you wish that you experienced sexual feelings toward another person?

Have you ever considered getting a pet for companionship and something to love?

How boring

Yes, that passed my mind too.

I don’t think I’m as sex repulsed as some other asexuals. I just don’t fancy it for myself

Yes, I do on occasion. It’s very brief and more like scratching an itch. I know this is sometimes a contentious point within asexuality, but if you think of it as the parts all work, we still can feel the good feelings that sex and masterbation can bring, we just aren’t sexually attracted to anyone

I certainly feel it should be more widely accepted or recognised that two people can live together without the idea of them being in a relationship. But I personally need to live alone. I feel like I can only be comfortable and can ‘breathe’ when I’m alone. Which isn’t to say I do t have friends or family that I adore, I do, but I just need my own space

I am female.

I have kissed one person. It was not romantic or special in any way. I was newly 18, first time in a club. My two friends I came with abandoned me on the dance floor to hang out with two other guys. An older man approached me (maybe late 30s) and started dancing with me and kissed me. I was too shy or nervous to say no. It wasn’t traumatic or anything, but that is the only time I’ve kissed someone

At certain points in my life I have wished to be “normal”. I spent some time in my uni days doing online dating, just because it seemed like what I should be doing, I didn’t know I was asexual at that point. But now I find it almost freeing. It’s a whole aspect of the human experience that I don’t have to worry about. I’ll never experience heartache or loneliness, the stress and drama that comes with relationships. I know I’m missing the wonderful parts of relationships too, but I almost feel it’s worth missing to avoid the bad parts

I have a dog! She’s sleeping next to me now, a terrier mix named Bella. It’s been very rewarding to have someone so loyal and sweet by my side

I can see how someone might feel that way. I find life quite rewarding. I love my friends and family, I have a job I enjoy. I have hobbies, I have my dog. There’s a lot to enjoy about life. It’s just this one aspect of life that I’m missing out on

Do you consider it an identity, a sexuality or is it just a description to you?

What do your family think?
Do you ever get asked questions about why you don't have relationships or the annoying 'when are you going to have children?'
