I'm 36,female and have NEVER had any sexual desire ...

i'm 36,female and have NEVER had any sexual desire of even smallest amount!its completely not existent.i haved had councelling, hypnotherapy, blood tests years ago. most experiences with the above have been negatively dealt with 'maybe you haven't met the right person', 'you just can't orgasm?'.christ, i'm 36 and have been attracted to many people by now!but always the same.you may as well be scratching my knee!about 3 weeks ago i read about 'asexuals'.this seems to tick boxes but i need to understand why things don't function for me.i now avoid relationships and focus on work, friends and activities.it feels like theres a cloak covering up the part of the brain that sends the messages!any advice would be welcome!

 never heard of this!?. no desire at all?. how about masturbation?. does that do anything for you?. 

I really think you have not met the man who will sweep you off your feet.

Be honest and be true to yourself.

Is it possible that you experienced some sort of sexual abuse as a child? you may have a repressed memory that is affecting you in an unconscious way. i know it sounds totally crazy but the mind has incredible defense tactics. You wont have any receglection of the event or events. I've been through the same thing.

I think I'd losE My MiNd If I coUldlD fInd WhEre My kiDs StucK it fiRsT!!!!

this answer unfortunately i find completely patronising.at the age of 36 at some point in my life i would have experience a little desire even if by myself!i don;t think you quite understand, there is no desire, not a flicker, never has been and you are not the 1st person to say this answer when its not understood.this included my close friends and family but they do now.i think also there is an image of me being some kind of unattractive bloater to look at too for some reason due to the content of my question but i am not.i haven't put a picture up due to wanting to remain annomymous.on the occasions i have felt 'swept off my feet', i remain numb from the waist down! thanks anyway

i had hypnotherapy a few years ago with no help/outcome etc.the therapist seemed almost out of desperation thro many sessions ( & cost!) to come up with that conclusion!but it wasn't formed from anything i discussed with him, he said he was going to try put some images in my mind to try trigger something.so he would go through scenarios of my dad abusing me.i found this rediculous!!!maybe sounding defensive but i had an amazing and happy upbringing from both my parents which you don't recognise until you're older!it was always fun.and if you can't remember the event, how do you deal with it?surely you need to recall the emotion it caused to create some kind of solution?possibly my experience wasn't a good one?i do agree this can happen but don't believe it was this in my case.thank you

Nomadic,

   If that does not bother you not to have any sexual desire, then you don't have a problem.Innocent

Be honest and be true to yourself.

it does bother me, hence why i seek so many avenues to try find a solution.  i wouldn't have put the question on here if it didn't bother me to see if anyone had any ideas or experiences similar themselves.its very hard to date with this.i tend to knock the relationship on the head almost before it starts now because the longer you date, the closer you are to having sex.its not easy telling someone and unfortunately when i have it seems to have caused a problem.for the majority, sex is important in the relationship even though over time it may not be quite so regular!however, i will keep looking for someone who is ok with it!

consider yourself blessed  love sex desire all suck  should feels good in the monent then it sucks 99 percent of the time nothing but pain and heart ache your lucky but we alweays want what we can't have want to experince sexual pleasure ok cheap way try masterbation could explain but get a book , better way see a sex therapist who has the understanding to help help you reach sexual pleasure , my geuss once you have one you will want more

good luck my advice leave well enough alone
