Alright y’all weird & uncomfortable question... is it possible to have a relationship without sex?
A bit of an uncomfortable explanation...

I am beginning to think I will never find someone bc of my trauma. I’m just not very comfortable with the idea of engaging in sex with someone new, like it will take a very long time before I’m comfortable doing that with a new person.
But I really kind of miss spoiling someone and just intimacy over all.... like other forms of it..... idk :( feeling kinda bummed about it lol
I know for some people it’s just not possible & I understand and respect that, believe me.
The responses to this have been overwhelming in the BEST way 😭 I really appreciate y’all so much I cannot stress that enough. Miigwech ❤️
Me, again. This has helped me so much 😭 I hope it’s helped other people too ❤️

I used to say I was on the ace spectrum but after being gaslit by partners that I had who were more sex driven than I, I tucked that part of me away & acted as though it didn’t exist.
Times like these remind me how important community is. I isolated myself from the ace community bc I felt like I didn’t belong or that I had been somehow lying to myself & other people.

I’ve been told I wasn’t ace, just traumatized. Those things are not mutually exclusive.
I’m accepting that my relationship with sex may never look the same as it once did & that is entirely okay.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that & I appreciate the ace community for being there to remind me.
I’ve spent almost two years now questioning this part of myself. Who knew asking this one question would clear the fog.
