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

This always happens when I get into character-specific spaces

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

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?
