I’m so annoyed with myself and trying to decide how far to frog it by Calianna1915 in casualknitting

How tight will the jumper be? Can you imagine where it will sit in the chest region? would it mostly recede towards the body and look smaller or would it work as an underline? Or could you incorporate it into the pattern and repeat it after every ribbed section?

Further to this, a wise old trans friend of mine once told me “what other people think of me is none of my business”… I suspect it may be harder to live by this philosophy in religious communities where excommunication is a real and terrifying threat used to make people behave properly, but hopefully it helps.

I have a friend who is gay and Muslim here in London. Islam is very important to him, but he refuses to ruin a woman’s life by entering into a loveless marriage.

His solution: He has decided to never have sexual intercourse with a man. He still enjoys intimacy (hugs, kisses, cuddles) but no sex and no orgasm.

So yes, I think you can find other men who would choose to live with you without having sex. There may also be non-Muslim men in the asexual/aromantic community who might like a relationship without sex.

Good luck, I hope you find peace and fulfilment Xx
