  • that I am 35.
  • that I had never been in a relationship.
-that I had only had sex once, to see what it was like (not that great).

(No physical/aesthetic/personality reasons, I just don’t want to. Am curious to know what thoughts would occurr to people who learn this about me).

Thanks

?
Asking because I wonder what goes through p

I’d just think you’re a little odd.

NoSuchThingAsAlpha · 14/05/2018 22:52

I'd think you were asexual.

BalaBrith · 14/05/2018 22:53

I'd think you were asexual...

TheWizardofWas · 14/05/2018 22:53

I'd not be too surprised and in some ways a little envious.....

ShweShwe · 14/05/2018 22:54

I'd think it was none of my business - nor that of anyone else. If I were to really ponder it I'd assume you were at ease with your choices.

OwlinaTree · 14/05/2018 22:54

Id think it was a shame for you if you wanted a relationship, but as you say you don't I wouldn't think anything.

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 14/05/2018 22:54

I wouldn't think anything about it, to be honest. Are you happy?

Bridesmaidinchief · 14/05/2018 22:55

I would say that's too little info to form any opinion about you. You might be asexual, you might not have met the right person, you might have religious reasons, who knows! I think it's dangerous to make assumptions based on just a small amount of information

Fucketynamechanged · 14/05/2018 22:55

That your asexual or incredibly religious and waiting for sex now

Katedotness1963 · 14/05/2018 22:56

I wouldn't think anything about it. You're not the only one I know who lives that life.

numptynuts · 14/05/2018 22:56

Wouldn't care as long as you're a nice person. All that matters.

LilMadAgain · 14/05/2018 22:57

It's nobodies bloody business op, I hope you're just asking for a general consensus and nobody has passed comment on your private and personal life.

LiveLifeWithPassion · 14/05/2018 22:57

I’d be intrigued (I’m fascinated by people and their lives. Not in a judgey way) and wonder why you didn’t want to.

Sarahlou63 · 14/05/2018 22:57

I'd be much more interested in learning about you as a person (assuming we met) - as long as you are happy with your relationship status it's fuck all to do with anyone else. If you're not happy with it then probably best to think about some sort of counselling.

arethereanyleftatall · 14/05/2018 22:58

I wouldn't think anything.

Singlenotsingle · 14/05/2018 22:58

It's horses for courses, isn't it? So long as you're happy, no problems. Are you happy?

Allabitmuchisntit · 14/05/2018 22:59

I would assume you were asexual and think nothing else of it, unless you expressed you were unhappy with how you felt?
It’s no more my business, than my sex life is your business.

Snowysky20009 · 14/05/2018 22:59

Does it matter to you?

ILikeMyChickenFried · 14/05/2018 22:59

I've a couple of friends in a very similar situation.

They're not asexual or weird just haven't met the right person.

I'd not really think anything of you from what you've stated.

BeeFarseer · 14/05/2018 23:00

I'd wonder whether you had sensory issues, and whether you were autistic. I'd also wonder whether you were asexual or aromantic.

Honestly though, I wouldn't really give it much thought besides a quick 'Hmm, oh right' and then carry on with my day.

Llanali · 14/05/2018 23:00

That you and I were likely pretty different sorts of people. But to be honest, that’s not a judgement, just an observation.

And I can’t imagine finding out anything except your age without knowing you pretty well, by which point your sexual or relationship history would be a moot point in terms of my opinion on you as a person.

HateTheDF · 14/05/2018 23:01

I know somebody who is now aged 86, he's never been in a relationship and is a virgin and he lived with his Mum until the day she died and has rarely left the house since.

I learnt from a young age not to judge people by their sexual experiences or orientation. I would just assume you're asexual and not think twice about it.

It's nobodys business but yours.

DalmatianDots · 14/05/2018 23:01

I would think you were a bit odd. I would wonder if you had repressed you feelings of sexual desire for some reason. I would think that if you were basing your views on sex on the first time you’ve done it you’re maybe being a bit premature.

Janediamond · 14/05/2018 23:01

Nobody’s passed comment, it’s a fact about myself I tend to keep private. I do think I am asexual, and I am happy with my choices. But I keep it private because I think people will judge or look down on me or assume there is something wrong with me. So that’s why I wanted to ask!
