GGZ Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Hey everyone! I hope my post finds you well. I'd like to post a quick question and hear your thoughts on this: do you mind if you date or engage in a long-term relationship with an asexual? I'm asking this because I'm an asexual man (25 M) and I was just wondering if my sexual identity'd hinder my chances at developing relationships with women. Thank you for your input! I just realized I should have posted this in dating...Sorry about the confusion! Edited September 18, 2014 by GGZ Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) If you're asexual, why would you want to date anyone? Dating is all about having an intimate and physical relationship. Without that, it's just friendship. So obviously, no, you can't date if you are asexual. You need to make clear up front to any women that you don't date and are just seeking friendship and then be prepared to tell them you are asexual, just as if you were gay you'd need to let the opposite sex know. To pretend to be dating someone would be deceptive and cruel and waste a lot of time for those women who are all going to be looking for someone wanting a real marriage. If I were asexual, my first stop would be at a hormone specialist to have a panel done and find out why I have no sex drive. If hormones were normal, you'd likely have a sex drive. If they're not normal, that can be fixed. If all that failed, I'd get in long-term therapy to see what happened. Edited September 18, 2014 by preraph Link to post Share on other sites
