Is it normal to only wanna masturbate instead of having sex?

I am a 23 year old woman that's still technically a virgin. My dad was a total sex addict so when he left my mom because of it that pretty much took away any desire I had for real sex. Then I dated my best friend for awhile but she broke my heart and cheated on me. We never had real sex we just played around a little but regardless after her I no longer wanted to be sexually active with anyone ever again and I still don't. That was 3 years ago. Now I would much rather just masturbate then have sex. Is this normal? Am I weird? The thought of sex with another human being repulses me but I could masturbate all day long and get the biggest high from it.

    It makes sense if your dad was a sex addict that you have a negative association with sex, but I would not be making conculsions about your preferences if you are still a virgin. Its like saying you like oranges more than apples so you never want to try an apple, even though you don't even know what an apple tastes like.

    The question you should be asking yourself isn't how common (or "normal") your attitude towards sex is, but rather whether or not you're content with your life as it is.

    Solo sex is definitely hugely less complicated than a sexual relationship with another person will ever be, and there are positive things to be said about having as much sex as you want whenever you want it.

    If you're satisfied with how things are in this part of your life now, then you should do you, and try your best to ignore the social pressures which decree that it's normal for everyone to be paired up with someone else.

    Alternatively, if you feel there's this huge hole in your life where there should be a sexual partner but you can't bring yourself to look for one, then perhaps you should consider seeking professional assistance in getting to the bottom of what's going on and what you might do about it.
