Does anyone else struggle with feeling asexual at times? If so, how did you explain and/or work this out with your partner? Mine seems to take it personally no matter how much I explain that I just don't like to be touched sometimes. I just feel sensory overload and need to decompress. I end up having sex that I don't want to have because I want to avoid hurting his feelings or having to have another long conversation about it, which is also not something I want to do when I'm feeling overstimulated. Help plz
TBH this should be in the Adult section. I wouldn't call this asexuality, it seems to me it could just be symptoms of autism that can affect your ability to enjoy sex.
I also have the impression that some women in heterosexual relationships have greater willingness to accommodate their male partners' sexual urges than others. Where you lie on that spectrum would have a lot to do with how to deal with this situation. Like would you want him to still be happy despite the situation or would you prefer that he just somehow deal with it. Also I don't know if he's fundamentally selfish or if you see him in that light.
