This article is fascinating but particularly speaks to me because as of 2 years ago just about sex became unbearable painful for me due to a disease known as interstitial cystitis.

At first, my deep seated desire to continue seeking romance and dating was so strong I endured some painful encounters. I tried dating without giving the other person sex letting them know upfront this would need to be the case. That didn't work because most people are not asexual. I am not even asexual technically.

Well the thing is as more time went by the less I desired sex or romance and now I am far more productive and no longer waste such a large amount of my time worrying about finding a partner. I guess there is some part of me that feels lacking though if I am being honest.

So, it has me thinking a lot about the reasons I care in the first place and this article shines a lot of light on that for me.

Now that I don't desire to or have sex I definitely see the fact that it is everywhere. Something I really didn't much notice or think about before.

Also, obviously my objective stand-point could change if one day the pain was gone. I am sure I would relatively quickly revert back to a humping animal. XD
