I answered no. It is not normal. But it's not bad. I'm asexual, so I don't experience sexual attraction, nor do I find sex intriguing in the slightest...but I'll acknowledge that it isn't the norm. The issue here is that if she feels she has to have sex, you feel you have to not have sex, and neither sides are happy with compromise, then the relationship needs to end sooner than later.
There's nothing wrong with you (or her), but just make sure that you preface all of your potential relationships with the fact that you won't be having sex. It might be a deal breaker, sure, but it helps you find those sexually compatible, it's honest, and it beats having to break up with someone after the relationship has developed and has become more serious. No relationship should have someone feeling sexually depraved nor feeling forced into sexual situations. If you can't feel comfortable compromising on this issue (I can't either, no worries), then don't...just again, tell people before the relationship even begins. It's only fair.
Is it normal not wanting to have sex?
