Dating questions need advice

Datingquestions123 · 23/04/2022 15:47

Basically I’m 27, I’m lesbian, I want children, I’m autistic and don’t want sex.

I don’t even know if I want a partner, but I’d like to try it at least and see.

one thing I do know is, I definitely don’t want sex, I know I know, but the thought of it just does not appeal to me at all, I don’t even like masturbating.

I don’t even know how I’d go about finding anyone who also doesn’t want sex, but wants children and all the other things that go along with it.

where should I start? I hate going to pubs and stuff so that limits me a lot, the only dating for disabled people in my area is for people who autistic and have a learning disability, which I don’t have, so that doesn’t work for me.

anyone got any advice?

Sounds like you're Asexual.
That's a label a lot of people still don't understand.

If you want kids, you'd need to think about the practical side of impregnation and carrying, do you want to carry and birth? Etc. That's another facet to consider.

As for finding someone, that's harder. You're requirements are very 'niche' and I don't mean that to offend, more as a realistic statement.

Start with asexual dating sites, people that want companionship without sex are rare, but they do exist. Be up front and tell people the situation, you might have to go through a lot of chatting with people that are put off, but in the long run you may find someone that has the same goals and outlook.
Try to remember that it is very unlikely you are the only person on earth that feels how you do, but that it may not be very common.

Hope that helps... Probably not..
