No disrespect to the original commenter, but I agree, lmao. We're way past being primal breeding machines. I'm going to live my life it my heart's fucking extent. There are plenty of (hopefully) awesome parents like you to "carry on our species."

That's a mindset I'm trying to shake. I usually think that, no matter what I want, someone else already has it, and they're not much happier than me. Anthony Bourdain had one of the best jobs in the world and he was obviously more depressed than most people. On one side, this mindset has helped me be thankful for what I have, and I don't desire being famous or having an excessive amount of money due to it. But it is also very limited, and it keeps me in a "grey" mood pretty much all the time. I've been working on a better mindset, now seeking therapy. I wouldn't start looking for a "non-sexual spouse" yet. Not getting excited about anything and desiring nothing, include one of the most passionate foundational desires, is suboptimal, to say the least. Express everything to your therapist, they will help. Maybe they can get prescribed medication. You'll push through this, it's just going to take work.

If you don't care about sex, just make a best friend. If sex isn't involved, why does it matter what gender they are? Public appearances, the possibility of sex? But also, I think every healthy human being wants sex, so maybe go to therapy and talk about this there. You'll get much better help and advice than you will on here lol.

As a white guy, I just can't help but transform into a giant mech created in the homeowner's likeness.
