OMG......totally freaking out with your post because I'm in love with a guy that behaves exactly the same way. We're not in a relationship..yet....but I'm desperately in love with him. I'm so stuck.
I know he likes me and he deeply cares for me. I also know that this is all he can offer. I've been swimming online through pages and pages related to "asexuality" and I have found common signs of behavior. I have never confronted him with this topic. I feel it would make him feel embarrassed.
Asexual men (or women) really do exist. These people simply have no sexual feelings at all. Maybe they do get erections by watching porn or they might even masturbate from time to time but....when it comes to being intimate with another person....their brain just can't deliver. They don't have this desire. The reasons can be many. This has something to do with themselves and definitely NOT with the other person.
I'm in love with him. I love him just as he is. I've even told him so. And yes....I want him so bad....till I'm blue in the face! That bad! I'm a very sexual woman and totally not shy. For the past couple of months I've been asking myself this critical question: "This love that I feel...is it strong enough to help me cope with the possibility of a long-term relationship with a man like that?".
I'm at that point right now in my life. If I insist in convincing him that I love him just as he is and "trick" both him and me in a sexless, emotionless, disconnected relationship.....maybe I'll be doing damage to both of us in the end....?
