Well, yes. I'm afraid I'll damage my relationship over these issues if they're never resolved. And if I lose my relationship, why would I ever seek another when I have these issues? The person I'm with now is patient and encouraging, but others aren't. It's not really the sex itself, it's the inability to have a physically fulfilling relationship. And I'm rarely able to make friends or connect at all to family, so without relationships, I'll essentially be completely alone in the world. This will negatively affect my career prospects, if I have any at that point, as they're all based on who you know.

Basically, if I lose this relationship, especially over sexual issues, I lose everything. I guess I can't expect anyone to understand.
