Honestly, it's exhausting, but necessary. Here's my ace story, because we all have different one, and they all matter. Because it's confusing as all hell to go through.
Hugs and cuddles and companionship and pecks on the forehead/cheeks: that's all I really want from a relationship.
In my case I do enjoy masturbation, but when it comes to actually involving another person... nope. I'd rather not. There are a thousand more interesting things to do that don't involve sex.
Thank you for sharing this, so great to read- my experience is similar in a lot of ways- although I was 45 before a therapist suggested I was asexual. That was my fourth therapist, after six years in total of therapy- looking back I am amazed that it took soooo long for that option to even be placed on the table! There’s a long way to go in terms of getting awareness out there. I’d have been so much happier if I’d known/accepted I was ace years ago, I can only hope others can come to that awareness younger than I did.
Really interesting to learn about your experience with asexuality. I feel that there is too much pressure on sex from society and you should be able to do whatever makes you happy and use your body however you want. Thank you for sharing ❤️ 🤗
What a honest look at very difficult subject .I had a somewhat similar situation where my Libido
had got up and left . I found a peptide that restored that part in my mind and was able to get real success it is called pt 141 I found it to be incredibly helpful I don’t know if you have tried this or
would want to it comes in a nasal spray or a subcutaneous shot form .The beauty of the peptide is works on the brain side of things instead of the biological side .That is were I had my issue
either way it’s sounds as if you have settlement with in your life Be Well

My story is a bit different, since all our stories are, but also remarkably similar in how in denial and confused i was for a long time. How i kept assuming I was normal to feel nothing in situations that most people feel things. I think I'm more kissing-averse and more sex-averse than you so I couldn't get as far as you -- i tried sex basically once and blogged about it, but then again by then i knew asexuality was an option -- and I also had more childhood trauma and social awkwardness so my first kiss and first hand holding was age 22. But overall I get it so much. So glad you finally found a therapist who could help you understand yourself. :)

This is so similar to my story, just add on religion and the confusion of purity culture. Always happy to talk to others.
“I don’t need to get laid. I need to get loved.” Yes. This! Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you so much for sharing! Your story feels very similar to mine except you’d have to reverse the gender I’m attracted to.
