Well for some sex can be a big part of their lives. It doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you...The only real question is are you willing to give some compromise for the other person? For example are you willing to be in a relationship where you're still with your partner but your partner is allowed to mess around outside the relationship...It all comes down to compromise in my opinion.

If you feel broken, or like something is wrong with you - why ? Do you feel like less of a person ? Or that you can't do what you want to do because of your perception ?
If that interferes with your life in ways that cause sadness - then maybe it's something to work on. If it doesn't, and you feel basically ok with yourself, then it could be time to ignore others' comments that they have no right to make in the first place !

But then - if you want a relationship, there will have to be some acceptance of the idea that your non-desire puts you at odds with many potential partners.

People project how they feel onto you. Many just don't empathize very well and they probably project how they feel or maybe even how you make them feel onto the situation. Being gay is well known to people just because it is more common and it is openly discussed. Starting the conversation is important.

While there's nothing wrong with you and people should let you do you, it is a trait that most people have and most people consider it an important part of a relationship. It is part of our evolution. It is important for reproduction. You will find the one that you want to be with but you might have to go through some people that want you for how you make them feel. Sometimes that will be sexual. Send them along and keep looking.

As I have said many times, here in this context we are colorless, etc...the only attribute if anything is gender. Since we do not know each other in the real world and never will, you can be as non interested in sex all you want. It means the same to me. Of course I cannot speak for the persons in your real world.

Have you mentioned this to a Doctor,pehaps a hormone or two is low ? Is your sex drive low to non exisitant? Ever desired children?

Most people like sex. a lot. They probably like it more than they should. There isn't anything necessarily wrong with someone who doesn't like sex, but it is something that most people haven't (knowingly at least) encountered.

As recent as a year ago I would have labeled myself as asexual. On a scale of 1-10: 1 being completely asexual, 10 being pansexual, I placed myself at about a 4 or 5. Then I met somebody and that changed. I know identify more a demisexual.

It reminds me of when I tell people I don’t celebrate xmas because I’m an atheist with political and moral opinions that prevent me from enjoying it. They call me a Scrooge. If I told them it’s because I’m Jewish or Muslim, it wouldn’t bother them and they wouldn’t try to make me feel bad about it.

You are not broken. A decent percentage of people are asexual do some degree. Don't feel bad for being different, being honest can help you find people who can relate.

By nature humans are sexual creatures. Most wouldn’t understand or comprehend the asexual feelings that you have. Most don't believe something that most natural instinct within the human condition; and don’t accept it. It would be extremely difficult for someone not asexual to be willing to live with your asexual life.

I never met anyone who didn’t like sex. Without any personal knowledge of it, I would think it could be corrected with therapy. Gay, of course is a matter of being born that way.and is what it is.

I reckon I am different to you. I understand lack of interest in sex. Wanting to be what you are not.... that I have to ponder deeper but I don't care or wonder who wants to be gay and who don't want to have sex. It is their lives. And before I am accused of being anti gay... I am a proud father of a lesbian. My children were procreated to be turn over to the world and to life, not mine to keep.

If a guy has the hots for you, all it means is that he’s responding to deep instinctive desires which BTW, are good and natural. Anyone can understand, on a mental level, that some people are gay, and if they are empathetic they’ll accept the person as they are.

It’s two separate categories.

is second nature and most people can't control it by will. It is manifested by the physiological stimuli at the subconscious level. Lack of sexual desire may point to health issues.

My only question here is are thes people with whom you are seeking a relationship? If not, whatever happened to just being friends?

In a relationship context, anything that falls outside someone’s definition of ‘normal’ becomes a problem that needs ‘fixing’. On balance, I thinks it’s easier for people to attribute a problem where there is none rather than accept that they have to change their behaviour.

If someone fancies you and you decline because you’re not interested in , then ding challenge accepted, and they can flirt like they always do, but more earnestly. Also, if they take you at face value, then the chances are they have to give up and move on. So they have nothing to lose.

If a guy fancies you and you pretend to like women, at least he can ‘save face’. Buy should you have to lie?

I think the part must be trying to date without wanting , because it’s all about mutual expectations, and (I’m guessing) most people happy not to have may be happy not to seek out a relationship, but rather to stumble upon one.
