Question
Hello, I am doing some research on this topic. Do you think that a 50 year old heterosexual male could be asexual and not aware? Or in denial of this?? I am not on this spectrum, so I genuinely am seeking to understand.
I have a new partner of a few months, and, he does not desire me sexually, despite him saying he does… He adores me and I adore him. But the sexual charge from him is just not there. He has disclosed nothing about this to me. He has even said he sex is so important and that he thinks about me all the time in that way- but he does not express himself in that way. I’ve tried to talk to him about our sec life, and the impression I get is he gets uncomfortable and feels insecure.
He does initiate sex about every other week, but, it’s not the usual we can’t keep our hands off of each other bc it’s only been a few months…
I’m just curious. We are also in a conservative area of the country with strong religious ties. I don’t know if it’s me, his upbringing, his age, or if he is asexual or struggling with him his sexuality. I’m afraid he is afraid to admit it to himself and wants to be sexual so he just goes through the motions.
Any feedback is appreciated
