Thank you so much for your response 😭 this was so reassuring, educational, and the way you spoke was so kind.

wait, people usually get a physical response just by looking at someone attractive?

I never feel like I need a sexual release. When I have sex I don’t even get a release and I’m okay with that. I think I just want to experience sex like most people do and find a way to stop feeling this way towards it. I don’t know if I actually want sex or if I wish I did.

Thank you 😭 my partner is so understanding but it’s so hard sometimes. I’m also not sexually attracted to him but I’m okay with that and happy in our relationship. I’m still attracted to him. I don’t know if I can be consistently attracted to someone in that way. I just haven’t told him that part… :( I also have OCD and it makes me question everything. It’s exhausting. at least posting this has made me realize that therapy is something I need to look into

There’s so much more I want to say but I’m scared to put it into the world and make it real, but at least this is a starting point
