Thanks everyone. My problem is im just 18. All my sexual experiences have been traumatic and i have never had a "good" relationship. But im trying tp figure out who i am - sexually. I want children - but not sex. I dont trust men, but im physically attracted to people of either gender. Idk. I guess we will do some soul searching in therapy. thanks

Also, I wonder, is being asexual sort of like being gay in that one is born that way or is it possible that one could have enjoyed sex at some point in their life and then later lost interest? To be clear, I would be speaking of people who are not going through any medical issues, dealing with trauma, hormonal changes, or excessive stress. People who are healthy, hormones balanced, and doing well in life.
