For some reason the thought of having sex grosses me out. Kissing and touching makes me sick too. I feel like the only person that finds no turn on from sex. I've had some sexual experiences but hated all of them and got no pleasure. Society makes me feel like I'm not supposed to dislike sex. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you think there is something wrong with me?

There may be some experiences you don't remember from childhood. Or family attitudes towards sex. However, There is also the possibility that you are asexual. Some people have absolutely no interest in sex and that does not mean they are abnormal. There is a lot of pressure from society that we are all supposed to acting like rabbits and having sex all the time. But it's not true for some.

I know how it feels. People used to question me when I said I don't prioritize sex. Made me uncomfortable, but it was more about them than it was about me.
We humans in general love sex. There are always exceptions in life, and it's easy to odd exceptions out for it. But I agree you shouldn't feel bad for it, nor should others make you feel bad for it.
The question is, do you want to love sex? If not, then it's no problem.
Thanks for this!

Sprite has a good point also in general and when I was in my teens the whole idea of sex seemed kind of messy and gross. As I got older and fell in love suddenly it seemed different.

I've honestly never had a partner I truly loved. That could be part of the problem. I get very uncomfortable with men. I think that's a factor too. I've always been intimidated by them.

Is there a reason that you are uncomfortable or intimidated by men? If something happened to you this could be the underlying problem.

I think there are many influences from childhood that largely determine our feelings about sex and what does
and doesn't turn us on. I think it's all very specific to the individual and hard to understand, because I think when our feelings about sex initially develop we are very young - some say before the age of 5 - so we really don't remember why we feel the way we do. Something traumatic could have happened to us, but I also think it's just the vibes we pick up from the people around us and whether our care givers make us feel physically accepted and loved.

I have read a lot about sexual desire the last couple of years and have learned that there is much I won't understand and I therefore tread lightly when it comes to judging myself or anyone else.

I'm the same way. I stopped caring what others think.
