Does anyone love non sexual affection?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to like sex with my wife - a lot!, but I seem to have lost interest in sex now. It's not that I've stopped loving her in any way, I just prefer to keep our relationship more platonic these days.

I do like the odd close hug from my wife, but break it off after a minute or so, because it make me feel uncomfortable. And I do hold her hand when we are out walking.

But sex... I love the idea, I just find the act a bit unsettling, or at least certain parts of it, like light touching and sloppy kissing

Before my wife I had a close female friend, and we often used to sit together reading, not physically together, just there on the same settee. I used to really love that, because we got so close without being lovers Unfortunately she eventually drove me away because of her bipolar behaviour and obsessive clinginess in other areas.

I have Autism. My communication difficulties mean that I sometimes get words wrong, that what I mean is not what comes out.

I really don't like any kind of sexual affection. Any kind of sexual situations makes me VERY uncomfortable.

I do love hugging and cuddling, but nothing beyond that, including kissing.

My best friend hugs me every time I see her and on weekends we stay overnight at a friends house and cuddle in the same bed. there's never been anything sexual between us. That's my ideal boyfriend\ girlfriend relationship!
