Is it really possible to have a good relationship while asexual?

0

I am very asexual and it seems that no one can ever be properly loved and respected. I think of myself as inhuman at times just because I am asexual. Is it really possible to be loved and respected when I am like this?

being asexual does not have any real meaning to being in a relationship you can form long lasting bonds with other people and never truly be "in love" as long as the other party has the same mutual feelings there is no reason that you cant have a relationship.

@Michael - I can be "in love"; I'm not a sociopath I just don't have sexual feelings. I can love and love but I've been hurt and disrespected and cheated on by people who told me it didn't matter. and whom I thought had the same bonds and feelings. Thank you though

What exactly are you looking for? If you mean if you can be in a relationship with a partner, I guess you can but the other person will probably need to be asexual too, or in a polyamory thing where he/she gets his sexual needs from another person. There's lots of flavours out there, you just have to look.

If you find someone who feels similar to you in that regard- it should be relatively easy to establish long lasting and deep relationships with them.

Yes it is, I'm sexual, but I'm okay without sex, and I'm good with asexual partner. What I want is not sex, but emotional attachment and emotional bond. It is very possible to be loved and respected as asexual person.

Currently I'm not looking for anything but in general? A good strong, deep bond/love thats not based around sex. Understanding, and understanding that I might always be like this. Unfortunately I've noticed the percentage of people stating they are "okay without it" and/or "asexual" will eventually try to push you into it anyway. And also unfortunately I realize that polyamorous would be best for a partner like that but I'd still feel jealous and like I wasn't enough - which god knows I'm not because I've been cheated on a few times. I don't have great self-esteem or anything so I know I couldnt handle a polyamorous relationship

I wish I could say something encouraging, but I'm in the same boat as you. I hope that we can actually find a solution to this. Although I don't feel bad I'm sexual because in the end it`s part if who I am, it is very inconvenient at times.
