Is it bad that I choose not to have sex? Is there something wrong with me?

It’s not that I can’t get any sexual partners, it’s that I simply don’t have an interest in having sex with men who I’m not in a relationship with. I was never a drinker, drug user or party girl, I never dressed provocatively or slept around, my only sexual encounter was a lapse in judgment I had years ago who left the next day (because all he wanted was to conquer a Virgin and I was so dumb I couldn’t see it) so I’m definitely not a supposed “cock carousel” rider (except for that one time), yet I get labeled and mocked as being a prude, uptight bitch, stuck up, a goody two shoes or I get reminded that I’m not getting any younger and I’m reminded about the biological clock (which doesn’t apply to me because I was told at 25 years old I medically can’t have children). I feel like I’m being shamed because I don’t have a strong desire to have sex, or perhaps it’s my imagination. Who knows. I know this is probably why I’m still single, but is there something wrong with me that I have to really like the guy both inside and out in order to even think about sex?

A friend of mine told me my dating life would get a drastic boost if I were more open to a sporadic dick appointment with a hot guy, but I think that’s because he’s under this impression that I desperately need to get laid lol. I’m not judging anyone looking for that arrangement, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for me to have sex if I don’t want to.

  • very bad

  • I know this sounds cliche or whatever but I would refer back to the apple tree analogy. The good apples are the top most people don't want to work for it so they grab the ones in the bottom. Don't sell yourself short and know your worth. Just from your question I know your a great find. You'll find someone that will respect and value that. And yes I know I'm late to this question

  • I applaud you for having morals and sticking to them. However I would not have thought that would have kept guys from asking you out? You are a beautiful woman. It would be a shame if guys missed out on getting to know you just because of sex or the lack of. I am sure there is more to you than sex. I for one would love to get to know you as a person and see if we could be friends? Mind if I message you?

  • That's a personal decision

  • It's not bad to choose not to have sex, BUT, you also then shouldn't be dating either

  • I totally respect that in a woman.

  • There is nothing wrong with taking a break or giving it up total. You’re a unique individual not a trained monkey expected to make others happy. Love yourself first

  • It's all good

  • Not weird you've just made a lifestyle choice that others don't understand. But there's still plenty of time meet Mr Right and things could move on from there

  • Absolutely not.

  • U are ok the way u are sometimes I feel it will be better if I don’t have sexual desire but when I feel the pleasure during sex I think I am a fool to think that lol

  • its not bad if you choose not to have sex or not to have sex with someone u don't know or don't have a relationship. its really normal and u should be proud to be a girl with pride. there's nothing bad

  • Perfect lady!

  • I really wish I could answer that because I am the exact same way... I don't feel like there is anything "wrong" with me, I feel that if what I give out, was given back to me, even just a little bit, that, that might make it difference... It's hard to say because I feel now a days people are SO selfish, it is next to impossible to find an honest, true to their word, God fearing person who doesn't cheat... At least that is my opinion... and that age shaming, is nothing a bunch of dumb shit from people who don't know their own worth, let alone the worth of another person... Just saying
