Never had an interest in relationships

I'm not complaining here as I'm not intersted in sex or having a relationship, but anwyay....

I've never fallen in love with anyone, I've never fancied anyone or ever experienced a "crush". I have no sexual orientation, the idea of sex scares me and I think kissing is the last thing I would do. I've never had a relationship, nor am I interested in having one

Just wondering, any ideas as to why I'm like this? I've ever experienced "love" excep for loving my family and friends

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

sexual or romantic love is not the be all and end all of love. it it just as meaningful to have serious relationships that are plutonic. i have experienced both, and there is nothing that makes a sexual relationship better than other kinds of love. love is awesome, but it comes in so many forms. if you don't want sex, and you get love from family and friends, don't sweat it.

Try googling "asexuality", "aromantic" and the "AVEN forums". There's a whole world of people who have the same experiences as you.

People can be asexual just because they are, the same as people who are gay, or bi, or straight. There's nothing wrong with it.



For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know… we’re not what we’ve seen

For this dance we’ll move with each other
There ain’t no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other

Thank you both of you, I think it definitely is a mix of Aspergers and asexuality

I was exsactly the same as you, i had never fancied anyone although i did have relationships they always felt forced and fake and i hated kissing and having sex with the person i always felt forced into it and so would try to do it as little as possible i just had the relationships because i felt like that was expected of me but i recently found love with my now fiance and its amazing, i dont feel forced to do anything in anyway i actually WANT to. it was difficult at first because it still felt forced but as i got to know him and grew more comfortable i fell in love.

i dont think its strange it might happen one day that things change but if it doesnt then i dont think there is anything wrong with that as long as you are comfortable with it!

i do have to say though that the love i feel for my friends is really very different to the love i feel for my fiance so its very different to me and im finding it weird getting used to it.

I'm pretty similar, some people just aren't sexually attracted to anyone.
You can be romantically attracted to people, have a relationship but not be interested in sex or a physical relationship, although its not overly common its not weird I know lots of people who are asexual and I myself am semi sexual.

I am transsexual and homoromantic and proud to be.

Thank you. I just have no interest in love with exception to friendship/family love. Although I do have a very good friend. We plan to live together when I finish my university degree and hopefully go into research

The thought of sex terrifies me. I think because I feel so young and little that the idea of being with a 'man' seems veryy, very wrong.... I don't know.... My sister just thinks I'm weird, maybe I am.

Do you find any men (or women) attractive? And if you do, you've never thought "I'd love to tap that"? Just wondering if you have desire, 'tis all.

Maybe you are asexual, and there's nothing wrong with that. People might think you're missing out, but if you're happy with that, then that's the way you are.

No, I'm afraid I don't understand the concept of "attractiveness". I have never felt anything like that. I am quite happy the way I am, and as you said, it's the way I am

I think it could be partly an Aspergers thing, my brother seems the same.

Theres no right or wrong. If you are happy with not having relationships then don't have them. Friendship and Family are just as important. And if sex doesn't appeal to you then theres no reason you should have it.

I don't really notice "attractiveness" as such. People become attractive to me because of personality, and even then I don't think about having sex, except with my boyfriend and he initiates it usually.

Thank you, that was a helpful post. I have a very good friend anyway and I don't think I need a relationship as such. I'll ask my Asperger's mentor next week about it

Yeah I find some men attractive and would love to do them but they are usually men that I develop crushes on that nothing can ever happen due to them being a professional or a celebrity. But aren't really that interested in sex or anything remotely sexual other than kissing, holding hands and hugging.
