I think that I'm probably asexual. I've not had sex for over 8 years, and I hope never to have it again. I've not enjoyed what I have had.
I do get crushes on people (mostly characters from TV shows), but my infatuation never extends to sex. I don't even like kissing; the most intimacy I want is hugging/being held.
I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone managed an asexual relationship? I'm lonely, but I know that I can't bear to have sex, so I can't have a conventional relationship. I do have mental health issues that mean that having a relationship right now isn't feasible, but it is something that plays on my mind a lot, and I think I would like to have a relationship at some point.
I don't have children. Thank you if you've read this.
