"Kazaera" "Sweetpea The Tigress" This has been said before, but I think it bears reiteration- she may or may not be asexual. Has she been evaluated and given that diagnosis by a physician/psychologist/psychiatrist? Asexuality isn't a clinical diagnosis; the term has basically been made up by people who identify as such. The closest thing is Hyposexual Desire Disorder, and one of the diagnostic criteria is that the lack of sexual attraction/desire bothers you. I'm not entirely sure what a clinical diagnosis has to do with it; it sounds about as strange as wanting a doctor to tell you that you're gay. I'm bi, and I've talked to a doctor about it... It's fine to be asexual, but when it comes to relationships, there may be some difficulty in forming or keeping them being as the majority of people are sexual... if one is bothered by one's asexuality in any way, it makes since to get a professional opinion... that's what I was thinking... |

That does actually make sense, although asexuality is still unknown enough that it's not unlikely the doctor will decide lack of sex drive = something is wrong with you. (There are also some great ones out there from what I've heard, but there's definitely the contingent of "sex is normal and healthy and wonderful and wanting sex is natural - what, you mean you don't want sex? You must be repressed/crazy/traumatised/sekritly gay/etc." wink So it's a bit of a gamble whether the help you get will be useful or counterproductive. It mainly puzzled me because it sounded like you were saying no one could know their sexual orientation without being diagnosed with it! |

Of course she knows she doesn't want sex- I'm sure she received her assignment letter from the Department of Sexual Orientation, just like everyone else. JK! Pardon my stupid sense of humor. blaugh sweatdrop |

Thank you guys for responding. She is not exactly asexual. She said her reason was, on AIM. Her UN is ommited for privacy reasons:
NAME OMMITTED(3:50:36 AM): I don't like pain in my vaginia NAme OMMITED(3:50:46 AM): nor do I find laying like a cold fish NAME OMMITED (3:50:48 AM): appealing NAME OMMITED (3:50:51 AM): simple Recently just overall worry and confusion has arisen for me over the subject. I do not know why and wish it would stop bothering me so much. sad Well there is an update you guys; discuss. |

I think it depends on how sexual the sexual is. I wouldn't have a problem with no sex, having it would be a plus but not isn't that huge of a deal if someone is really perfect for me. But Someone who is really sexual might not be able to just not have it.

But Someone who is really sexual might not be able to just not have it. I really fear lonelieness if this does not work...In my mind I really want to think it can work but my goddamn body and hormones are working against me. |
