Just unintentionally came out to my friend

I was having a little mini crash out about people finding others attractive, and she went and googled if it was normal to not find anyone attractive- and it came up with asexuality! She is unaware that I already knew this, but she's supportive of it and was glad that I'm not alone in the world (and that other people have experienced my crash out, lol). But yeah, just a little happy story I felt like sharing :D

How do you feel about having a non-sexual sugar mommy or sugar daddy?

How to be less sex shamey as a sex repulsed asexual?

I can’t enjoy sex mentally….

For me, the difficulty with sex is not only the physical aspect of it, but the mental part.

I just have way too many distracting thoughts going on during the act, preventing me from getting any enjoyment whatsoever out of being intimate.

Such as:

What if what is happening right now is going to result in me getting pregnant?…. Birth control is not fail-proof, you know…

Do I smell bad down there?

These flabby body parts of mine surely cannot be attractive….

This angle of penetration hurts too much….

How much longer is this going to take?…

Etc etc etc…

Then I end up with feelings of resentment due to the one-sided nature of it all. I have to suffer going through the motions, while he on the other hand is just singularly focused on his own gratification.

Does anyone relate or have any advice for dealing with the mental aspects of not enjoying sex?

It may not have much to do with the group, but when I saw that at least 70 million people in the world are asexual, I wondered, where are you all from?

Just out of simple curiosity

Sex favorable, and a bit confused

I am a millenial, for context. I have also written other posts related to asexuality.

In health class, when sex was first discussed (describing intercourse), I initially thought it was the weirdest thing ever. Why would I (a guy) want to put a part of myself inside another person? I also thought "ok, so I guess that's how people have kids, what's so special about it?". I felt it was just a bodily function, and couldn't understand why people crave it so much. I never understood when people said they have "urges", as I never had them.

Now, I am married and sex-favorable, as there is a bonding aspect to this, and the sensations do feel good. I also recall not having any desire to have sex for several weeks after I got married. There was a lot lf hugging and other stuff, but sex felt (and still feels) very mechanical. Pleasant mechanical, but mechanical nonetheless.

So it clicked. I never had that type of sexual attraction or strong desire to have sex. When other people told me they "need to get some" I could not relate.

For me, sex is a good activity, and I may even prefer it over others, but that specific type of desire or attraction simply seems to be absent. This is confusing since my body is able to respond and get aroused.

Can anyone else relate?
