Do Men "need" Sex, If So, Why?

It's awful what you've been through. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me if this is insensitive, but have you thought about a relationship with an asexual partner?

Op here, I'm early thirties, had orgasms since I was 12, had both male and female partners. Was sexua...

I have considered that but I wonder how many men are like that - truly like that, who won't mind never having intercourse? And even if they exist, say we have nothing else in common? :( but I know I have to try to find one, I don't want to be all alone..
 
You want my husband? I'll even pay you to take him. Just kidding of course, or am I. My husband has very little interest in sex. He says he has been that way his entire life. He actually has a bit of aversion to it.
 
@StrikingViking I am bit horrified by your lack of knowledge about women's reproduction systems. I think it should be mandatory for people to understand how the opposite sex's reproduction system works before engaging in sex.

Female testosterone varies by 100 times as much as male testosterone, indicating that only a fraction of women were intended to reproduce.Childbirth wouldn't be such a problem for most women if were a universal need; meanwhile some have almost no problem at all
:speechless:


 
Several things strike home in this thread. The need for companionship and intimacy without the act of sex. When I was younger the only sex I truly enjoyed was when no intimacy was involved. Now, the rare times my va-j-j tweaks for attention, it's not very loud and easily ignored. Occasionally, meaning a few times a year I scrounge up some working batteries and give it go. I have to be high on drink or smoke and it just doesn't hold the same zippity-doo-dah
I also am finding I dont like being alone. It's nice to have someone to do little life's things with. Cooking and sharing the meal. Going out with no destination. Talking about nothing. The little things. But I don't trust and intimacy is impossible without trust. That inner critic sneaks in and before I realize it my thinking is all negative and I'm on high alert.
This leaves me alone and depressed with no energy and easily overwhelmed. The truth of the matter is I have to find me
Then maybe.... who knows
