Hello all!

Was wondering if there were any asexuals/demisexuals/gray-As here on MFP. I'm personally a romantic asexual (don't ask me about gender preferences - I don't know yet). I'm female and 21 years old, but I've only just started experiencing light-weight romantic attraction in the last year - it's all rather new to me. Just after I started to think I might be aromantic...

I've never had an interest in sex, and I have little-to-no sex drive. I'm perfectly comfortable talking about it, but just have no interest in engaging in the activity! People sometimes say, "Oh, you will just find the right person one day". I'm terrified of this idea - I don't want to find the right person, it sounds horrific. :P

Does any of this relate to anyone here? I'd be very interested in meeting like-minded people.

    im very, very scared at the responses you might get on here because as i've seen many people have way too much of a sex drive on here :)

    I wasn't sure what you meant by asexual, so I looked it up. It said "Married". I guess I'm asexual too.

    LOL@RoadDog!!!

    Hey, getting in shape, living healthy will probably heighten your sex drive. Feeling good about oneself is a GREAT Aphrodisiac!

    A weightloss/health forum probably isn't going to be the best place to look for others who share your interests in that regard. The majority of the friendships formed here seem to be based on finding others who share similar health philosophies vs relationship things... good luck though!

    I love the way that there is always something interesting and different on the MFP boards!!

    ITA with the person who said MFP seems to have a lot of "over"sexed people around (but really, is there any such thing as OVER sexed?! lol) - maybe all the exercise and clean eating just gets a lot of folks' blood pumping...to some body parts more than others! :bigsmile:

    i have read posts about EVERYTHING on this site. from ppl trying to share stuff, to people asking legit weight questions, to people just saying anything and everything to get a convo going. im not gonna knock this question, bc it could have to do about weight. i personally know when i wasnt happy with myself, i could care less to ever have sex. my advice to u, while i dont share in that problem, is take this time to work on urself and make urself happy! u never know how the outcome might turn out!

    I know that the other posts about getting healthy can up libido mean to be encouraging... but really, being asexual is just fine. There's nothing wrong with it, it's very normal, and it happens to perfectly healthy people.

    Even people with crazy high sex drives have drops in libido sometimes.

    Not everyone has one, and that's cool too!

    It doesn't matter what your sexual preference is or if you have non. The game here is life change. to get healthy and make friends. You will figure out what you want in the future or maybe a doctor can help.
