Is it normal that you often hate your sexual feelings?

Do you feel like this? Life would have been so much easier if there were no sexual desires and romantic desires in ourselves. There would be no constant lookout for people, no need to masturbate. No heartbreaks and no feelings of sexual depravation and no occasional desperation.

I was thinking if this asexuality was universal, we would be so much better.

    Whereas I’m asexual will never be able to understand the feelings most people get. True I don’t experience “desperation” but I am also unable to have “sexual chemistry” when the stars align with someone.

    There are pros and cons to having and not having sexual feelings, you can’t change your sexuality so the only thing to do is embrace it.

    Sex certainly complicates everything. Even if you avoid it that can become an issue as well. It's also the reason for why people mistrust friendships with the opposite gender and create jealousy in relationships over nothing. I guess that is because some people don't know how to not try to bang anyone they see, even friends.
    But no otherwise I don't see the point of disliking sexuality, not if you're healthy and reasonable about it. Love on the other hand I can understand disliking, I have myself many times. Heartbreak sucks but it happens to everyone in life.

      You make a good argument for having sex with all your friends and taking that off the table from the start.

            No I don't see the point of complicating friendships that way personally. I don't like things messy. Friends are friends and if you have sex with someone you date them, but that's just me.

              Well I think we would artificially inseminate people to reproduce.

      Many species reproduce prolifically and 100% asexually. So I am not sure we wouldn't exist. I guess we would be very different- so I guess, you are right but the author is saying this difference would be a good thing.

    I mean yeah some people hate their feelings but not many and definitely not me. Sex and intimacy makes life worth living for me pretty much lol.

    For me sex makes things easier. I can't nessicarily express how I feel in the relationship and having sex with her is a great way of saying "I really fucking love you". It also relieves stress for both of us and I have even used sex as a way to make up after a fight.

        Well i could get a little bit of sexual attraction? But it still won't keep much.
        I am much more bond to the person i am in a relationship with and I need to know it is a real relationship in love before i can have sex with the person.
        So i can mix my love with sexuality buut...they are still different pairs since i can not have sexuality without love.I can feel sexually attracted to anything which is just imagination, on screen and stuff like porn but in real-life i rather just feel attracted to, my partner o_ô
        So, I would never would let me fuck from anyone else.
        The only compromise is, i am a bit exhibiotionistic in my sexual fantasys.
        So ..was this understandable?

    How much of this is related to porn addiction though? If you try to cut back and live in reality more, you might realize it's not that big of a deal as they tell you in movies/tv and on the internet.

    It’s easy to not let sex rule your life, and finding a partner who also respects the value of sex is a major win.

    Personally I have a very low sex drive, I never think about sex when I’m alone, and the mood has to be really right for sex to be on my brain even with my girlfriend, who I am very very deeply in love with, around.

    I like sex, sure, but there’s so many other things that I need to get done, or that I need to help others with, that it just doesn’t make it on my priority list.

    I think people who let sex rule their lives are a burden on their communities

        A bit of both I guess, I think I naturally have a low sex drive but I also have my ideals in a place where sex isn’t an important thing in my life. So I would just say that it’s easier for me to control it all

        It was a process. I was teased mercilessly growing up, I still cop shit even on here.

        I did a lot of CBT work learning to love myself.

        Now the more people tease the more stubborn I get and the more resolve I have to be me. There is nothing at all wrong with me being a bisexual or being slutty. It's me and I know I am worthy.

        Haters strengthen me now and I won't ever allow anyone to make me feel like a victim again.

            • I have had zero sexual relationships with women. I feel attracted to my last 'girlfriend' who just said she was but never said she had feelings even after a year and a half. I yearn for someone who loves me and is attracted to me sexually. This desire makes me really sad.

    If we were all asexual, no civilizations would exist.

    And no, I do not share your view. Sure heartbreaks suck, but they are a part of life. Lots of stuff suck in life, but the only thing you can do is keep going.

    I used to but I came to understand that society is wrong about me and others like me. We are unique and beautiful creatures with a history that extends as far back as mankind and the hate is born puerly from ignorance.

    So dont hate yourself cause of your sexuality unless of course it involves hurting others weither man woman child or other without there consent. If it is that then please get help and do not hurt others

      If you are talking about trans I disagree. Hate is a strong word, but I don't think it's born purely out of ignorance.

      As a lesbian/bi I see a lot of it and I have to say biology plays a significant role in peoples, let's say, standoffish reaction, to us.

      Just as biology played a role in making us, it also plays a role in straight peoples feelings.

      They can't help it any more than we can and gay and straight are at odds with each other in the quest for love.
