My Perspective on Respect and Connection”

I have always treated people with a lot of respect and spoken to them in a good way. But people often expect something extra from me. They assume that because I’m married and on this site, there must be some problem in my relationship — but that’s not true. I’m simply here to talk to people in a decent way. Life is not only about sex. There is much more to it. For me, intimacy feels right only with someone I’m emotionally connected to. I don’t understand how some people can talk about sex with just anyone. These are just my thoughts.”

I agree with you. I'm single but cannot make a proper connection sexually or emotionally without a deep intellectual bond because I'm both demi- and sapio-sexual plus also neuro-typical, socially phobic, introverted and more. I'm actually now very frightened of everything to do with sex, intimacy, dating, romance, relationships. Also I will never get married because I see no value in it plus in my view it's far too risky.

You're completely right that life is not only about sex. I've not had any of that for 10 yrs now and life still goes on so I know I'm not missing much.

I hope you have a great day!

@zonavar68 I totally get you, and I respect your choices. It’s really good that you know yourself so well. Life isn’t just about sex or relationships, and it sounds like you’re doing just fine. Take care, and I hope you have a great day too 🙂
