That is a very good point, I have thought about it and mostly embraced the idea of never experiencing sex, and it sure is relaxing to just not worry about it.

On the other hand, I am quite lonely, I have few friends, and sometimes it is tough to deal with shit on my own.

Dealing with mycoplasma and pneumonia at the same time for one and a half months mostly on my own was not fun, even had to go to the hospital for that, and stayed two nights before starting to get better.

Sex for me would be interesting, I like learning how things work and with a partner who would be patient with me I think it would be quite enjoyable.

I know sex is a very important part of a relationship for many people, and I am mostly worried that I would be too disappointing in that area.

What I mainly am looking for in a relationship is companionship, I am getting tired of allways being alone, though I will concede that being single and living alone makes planning a breeze for the most part.
