Is it normal to be not interested in sex? – Query

  

I am 26-years-old and still a virgin. I am, for some unknown reason, not interested in sex at all. I have been with a man before but physical intimacy was never very arousing for me. I read about asexuality few days ago on the internet and turns out I am asexual. Is it normal? 

Believe it or not, some people are not interested in sex at all. Losing their virginity or being physically intimate with someone will not catch their attention. These kinds of people are called asexual, and they are very rare. Asexuality is not something that you need to be embarrassed or feel weird about. It is normal. There are common misconceptions or perceptions that such people might depressed or might be going through some mental issues that are not always true. It is also not okay to have sex just under peer pressure or denial. A lot of people find it difficult to digest the fact that they are asexual, and there is nothing wrong with it. You can still fall in love and be in a relationship with someone provided the person knows about it.

In this video, Dr Shyam Mithiya, psychiatrist and sexologist, explains what asexuality is and how it is normal not to be interested in sex. If you are asexual, you need to first, accept the fact that you are asexual and that it is normal. Though being in a relationship can trigger complications in your life if your partner does not seem to understand you.
