I really like physical contact, but the one thing I'm not after is sex. I'll do anything else though, I have an open mind. Being a father doesnt look very appealing right now, but making out sure does.

I'm 16 and for some reason I'm very much annoyed by how much my classmates have sex.
I often think, "you dumb dumbs! You are teenagers! You do not have the emotional capacity needed to extract ANYTHING meanful from your constant mating! And for God's sake you DON'T have to talk about how you had him/her last night!."

Theodore Dalrymple (sp?) said it best: "A lack of privacy means a lack of intimacy, a lack of intimacy means a lack of depth."

So yeah... If they must do it at the drop of a hat (any hat) they should at the very least keep it between themselves.

I'm asexual. I have practically no sexual attraction, and when I do, it's towards a girl and usually lasts about 4 microseconds before I think to myself "erm, no" and go about my business. I've never really had any sort of sexual urges. I don't like girls. I don't like boys. I don't want to have a relationship with either. I don't want to have sex with them. I don't want to get married and have kids.

I've had a relationship back when I was 15. I had a girlfriend, it lasted 2 weeks, then she broke it off because she felt that we weren't connecting. Which we weren't, I could tell as well. I really honestly didn't have any sort of a feeling for her, sexual or otherwise. I had a short crush last year, which was I think my first ever "real" attraction to anyone, but it didn't end well. She rejected me, just as I thought she would, because my school is full of geek-haters. Looking back now, I think this is when I first realised I was asexual. My previous relationship didn't work, and the relationship that i wanted to have in this case wasn't based on what I thought it was (I still don't know what I was thinking), so from then on, I realized I was asexual. My friends kept asking me constantly "Which girl do you like?" and my reply (up until recently) was "I don't like anyone at the moment". This made them nervous, and they started to think I was gay. I kept telling "No, I'm not gay" but this lead to the inevitable question "Well, if you aren't gay, and you don't like girls, whats going on?". At first I was a little tentative about telling them what I actually am. I picked my moment, told a friend and I unfortunately didn't get a good reaction. That was about 3 months ago. They still don't fully understand I think, although they do moreso now than back then. They still give me sh** for it, but I don't really care, because I can't help who I am.

Now, I'm not particularly repulsed by sex. It just doesn't interest me. I don't want it. I don't sit there and look at porno and stuff like other guys would either. I just have no feeling in this manner. As andriarose said previously in the topic, I'd probably be alright if I met the right girl. As long as she was able to understand me and I was comfortable enough to communicate coherently with her, then I'd probably be alright with it. I currently get very uncomfortable when I have to talk to someone who is my potential "girlfriend material" age and is of the female gender. I find it extremely difficult to make eye contact (even moreso than usual) and even harder to hold a conversation. I almost start shaking every time I have to speak with a girl, I don't know why, but I think I get really anxious because I feel like I'm being judged the whole time, like I'm expected to act a certain way, and when I don't fit that profile, they'll judge me as something I'm not. I literally start panicking inside, but I don't know why.

I also don't like being touched. I hate being hugged especially. Any form of physical contact from another person makes me very uncomfortable. Even something as simple as being touched on the hand by accident sends my head into a spin.

So yeah, you are certainly not alone, because I feel the exact same way. Smile
