Don't give up.
You are NOT alone.
If nothing else, waaay older than you, and I'm having the same feelings now that you are.
I have taken some time to do some research.
I've come to realize that I'm the prey I'm not the hunter.
As a guy that makes everything rather awkward.
Also during self searching I found what arouses me.
It's confusing being disgusted horrified and aroused all at the same time.
I don't know how I can ever find somebody who would want this.
I have a carrer, my dogs love me, and so does God.
Perhaps my ADHD will allow me to forget my desires....

I still feel shame for what I'm interested in sexually from some of his reactions and I'm not sure I'll be able to admit to someone else what I like so they also don't think I'm disgusting.
In general, I have no ability to flirt, seduce, or in any way get someone interested in me. I can't really do anything. I had low confidence and self-esteem before the breakup, but it's at an all time low now.
I have five years of sexual experience but feel like I have none. I don't have friends who would available for a FWB arrangement in the future. There's no way I'd ever date again after this last relationship...I'm not sure if the good parts of a relationship are worth how horrible it feels when it ends. Everything in my life is ruined. I can't enjoy anything I want to or used to enjoy. I have such a strong sex drive that I often obsess over the idea, but I'm almost too traumatized (if that's the right word) to ever have sex again. That's if I ever find someone attracted enough to me.
