Hey, asexual anon here. Been that way for a long time. I'm

I'm asexual too. I don't understand why it upsets you to the extent that you're willing to go?

>>18103231
the problem you have is not with sexuality but with the need to follow the lead of society. Nobody needs to do what the others tell them they should. Just live your life. Meet an asexual partner and live your happy lives together

I'm sick of it, but at the same time I understand what you're saying. I used to say that too.
There are no other people like me that I can talk to in real life. All of my friends are oblivious to the way I am, and how they indirectly rub it in. I can't blame them, because I never speak up. But now, after my idiotic exploits, every time the topic of sex or even talking about a woman in a perverted way will put me sick to my stomach. It's recently happened, and it basically ruined the day for everybody. I just feel like a disappointment. I want to be something, anything other than what I am now.

This. I have a good life despite being asexual, it doesn't impact me at all, maybe it even improves it since it's one less thing to worry about. I have a good friend who I cuddle with if I need to but that's it

Sex isn't a neccesary part of a happy life, friend

>>18103252
And just forget about the friends that I've spent years forming close relationships with? Continue getting triggered by sexual advertisements and other ways that it drills into my head? The only way I see for my life to improve right now is to no longer be disgusted by it, and for that to happen I need to like it.

>>18103263
I definitely don't want sex at all. I want to stop being disgusted by it. It annoys me, everyone around me, and its drug me into times where I've refused to leave the house because of an irrational fear of being put into a situation that I wouldn't be able to handle.

>>18103268
that's a bit more problematic, yes.
Let me just bring to your attention, that some 40 years ago or something they would consider being gay a mental illness and try hard to "cure" gays. The attempts included a fuckton of methods, Pavlovian conditioning tih electric shocks involved. They never succeded.
One might draw a conclusion from those data, that human sexuality simply cannot change much.
I'm not saying this conclusion is onl true, but I would bet wuite big money on it nonetheless.
Perhaps it's impossible what you want

Hmm...That seems different from me, as I'm not really disgusted by it to the point where it begins to affect my life

Have you seen a psychotherapist yet? Perhaps it's due to some psychological shit

>>18103284
Not for this explicitly, but it did come up in a few talks with my therapist a few years ago. It wasn't a priority then, because I had bigger problems then.

>>18103282
I really hope that isn't the case. I can't live like this forever.

>>18103290
sure you can.
Also, remember that not being disgusted is not neceserily equal to liking something, or being turned on by it.

>>18103296
You don't seem to understand. Imagine living in a world of blood and gore, in a place where people love inflicting pain to others, and every moment of your life that you lower your guard you watch a man get sliced into neat little cubes, and everyone around you talks about how beautiful it is and how excited they are now that that man is nothing but little fractions of what he once was.
Would you be able to live in a world like that? You would have to change. Grow desensitized, or partake in it yourself. In the eight years I've been waiting, I still haven't grown desensitized. I don't see any other way.

I don't know. My friends don't talk this much about sex at all. And I don't see why should they ever have a problem if I told them to cease it entirely while we talk together. There's plenty other topics and it's not like you're always with them, right?
Then you need to cut yourself from the media ( though the internet may be fine if you put some filters on it).
The billboards will remain. That doesn't seem like much of a problem
