Perhaps you do want to remain asexual, but you really SHOULD deal with the problems of your childhood. It makes your life easier to bear -- believe me, I've been there and since i've gotten rid of that garbage, I no longer cry at the drop of a hat, or sit and dwell on my past for hours. Plus things don't trigger me, and I CAN have friendships that aren't affected by anythiing from my past! Big difference!

I have told my childhood story to many therapists. It has not made me better. In fact, it has scared a lot of therapists. Telling your childhood history to a therapist does not cure anything.
I guess since I am gay, the correct term to live a sex free life is celibate and not asexual. The reason for being celibate is more than my childhood, it is also my body, which lets me down. I am lucky to have my body survive unscathed from day-to-day life. Sexuality only seems to cause more physical problems on top of those I already have.
