If you were a sexual being as a woman ?
Would you be happy with hugs and kisses but know he has a repulsed by womens bits .
Even if you love him??
Has anyone had this ?
Where he pretended for a while until he couldn't anymore and she had tried everything to get him to show interest in her sexually.
Could it last?
No babies planned as he doesn't want any and
Doesn't want sex .
Opinions or experience please ?

Can people stop calling him gay when she says he's asexual. FFS. Talk about invalidating someone's sexuality.

That's not why people are suggesting he might be gay. It's because the OP says he's repulsed by women's genitalia. IME people who are asexual are indifferent, not repulsed. The repulsion tends to have a different cause.

How many asexual people have you asked? I'm not a fan of men's genitalia, it's hardly an attractive thing to look at, although there's every chance I might be repulsed in person (never seen it!). What cause do you think there is?

Oooooh...am I secretly a lesbian despite never being attracted to any woman ever?

Absolutely not. I have needs.

No. It isn’t about sex, as I have issues with sex anyway, as a survivor of CSA. It’s created issues with my DH and now we haven’t had a sexual relationship for a very long time. (This isn’t just about sex, we’re also both drained because of years of bringing up 2 adopted DDs, now 14 and 11.)

The reason I’m saying no is because of the revulsion. That would be too damaging for my already fragile self-esteem. Despite our lack of a sexual relationship, my DH is very attentive towards me and I know he loves me very much.
