by circumstances, not choice. i'm fine with it though, i don't feel the need to go elsewhere just because my spouse is not able.2

I am casual sex wise, by choice. Relationship wise, not by choice. When you're disabled but don't have a disabled look, there're still people; that'd desire to have sex with you (use you) but not have a relationship with you (deal with your disability, especially if it's debilitating; as mine is).1

I couldn't imagine having to deal with someone else around me and I enjoy being by myself. I have Asperger's though, so I'm guessing this was geared more toward neurotypical folks. ::shrug::
aspie here. sounds like you're asexual. nothing wrong with that. i'm pansexual with little sex drive myself, there's a pretty wide range of ways to be!3 -

Hi and thank you! I don't feel like there is anything wrong with it either, but I'm sure you know how most people react to anything they consider out of the norm. I've identified as asexual once I came to the realization as a young adult and I have gotten quite a bit of vitriol for it over the years, especially from the opposite gender. I've only really found myself drawn to one person within the past few years and it wasn't even a sexual thing, it was more of a "this person intrigues me and my insides feel weird being around them. Why is that?" kind of thing.3 -
Hello,
Before I got married I was celibate (for 9 years). I did it for religious reasons. My current husband and I did not have intercourse until we were married.5 -

Yes I am.
Not exactly by choice but *shrug* guys just aren't into it I guess, as the person above mentions I also have a low sex drive so it doesn't really bother me that much. Maybe just waiting for the right man.
But if we're not having sex that doesn't mean we aren't still getting an orgasm every now and then. Let's be real.2 -

Are you like uhhh an a.i.?
No, but at this point in life I'm used to being referred to as robotic, so I'm not surprised at this comment even if it was made in jest and/or at my expense. I'm still a human being and I have feelings, I just lack the range of feelings that a lot of other people do. My brain operates in a slightly different way and it's not something I can exactly control. I'm not saying this as a positive thing, either; the differences have caused many a hardship in my life at times. It can get tiring having to explain to coworkers why you are unmarried, have no children, and are otherwise disinterested in any attention that comes your way.11 -
A few years ago I read an article about HPV and how like 80% of sexually active men will be infected by it.
I'm not gonna lie, it scared the crap out of me and I've scaled back my booty calls ever since.
Is anyone else worried about that? When I went in for STD screening I asked them about this but they don't told me there is no test for HPV. That is frightening to be in the dark like that about an infection that might be in your body. Thoughts?

I think they require custom fitting but may be worth it!0

As far as I know there's an HPV test for women. Last had my womanly physical about 8 months ago but I'm pretty sure they tested that, can't remember.
But if there's one for women there should be for men. o_O
*Update quick Google search. There really isn't one for men. That's weird*

I don't have anything insightful to say. So, obviously if a person is asexual then being celibate makes sense. And if there is some reason to be celibate then definitely do what's healthy for you. But aside from that, in general cases, sex is healthy for you physically in many ways (as long as you don't catch an std as people mentioned), mentally, emotionally. And it's good for your relationship too. Some people are highly sexual people. Just a personality trait (or something). I don't think it makes sense to suppress your sexuality. It's just going to emerge in some other dysfunctional way probably. Celibacy doesn't often work (even for the monks and nuns and stuff). You'd be surprised how many people are having sexual desires and orgasms. As they should. I don't think it's healthy or logical to suppress that.2
