There's also that, because I'm aversive and repulsed by sex, the thought of my friend sexually desiring me is very disturbing to me and her efforts at flirting cause very conflicted emotions.


I tell myself I can just say fuck it and hit it and Quit it, but at days end I still desire a more meaningful relationship and it seems like only I want that.

I don't like sex and would even say I'm disgusted by it, so that's not really an option for me.

The only people who think porn is a realistic representation of sex are probably virgins. It's literally a person's most explicit and hardcore fantasies made into a video and they're so exaggerated.

There only exists easily accessible porn that accurately portrays somebody's most explicit and hardcore fantasies if they don't have very specific/hardcore fantasies tbh. That's not to say that it's realistic, but that's pretty hyperbolic.

If I had to actually describe my orientation it would be complicated.

Namely, Heterosexual 100%. But also so paranoid about other human beings that I might as well be Asexual, because romantic/sexual relationships are a weakness.

Believe me it is, because I'm physically attractive but only manage to get girls, and not keep them.

Also I have crippling depression

Women can deal with that, it's the chaos and the other stuff you mentioned earlier that drives them away.

I'm pretty sure it's my personality with some of them. As my one ex girlfriend said, "yes everyone will leave you and its because of your fucking attitude." Another one accused me of being too attached to her. One cheated on me so I broke it off, another few moved away. It's actually variety of reasons

I am not saying women dont come with a host of their own issues... but what you mentioned before turn into dealbreakers, but on the bright side they can all be worked on. when you dont know your issues or admit to them that nothing gets better.

That really sucks. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen.

On a semi-related note, I still get nervous talking to girls, no matter what they look like or who they are.

I'm demisexual, which apparently is now known as Grey Asexual - today being the first time I've heard the latter term.

It's not really something I discuss openly or even consider part of my identity. It just is: I used to be heterosexual, now it's been over half a decade since I felt any feelings of sexual attraction to anyone.

In the past I tried joining online communities to talk about it with others but generally found communities dedicated to questions of sexual orientation to be so toxic and hostile (despite their repeated claims of open-mindedness) that I decided I'd rather just go it alone.

Correct me if I’m wrong but, being demisexual implies that you can get to feel sexual attraction only to people you’ve developed a sentimental/romantic attraction to first, right?
