asexualityHi, is anyone still here? It's been a long time since I've seen a post.
In a week, I'll be 52 and am an asexual. Also a virgin both by choice and circumstance. Recently, a friend ask why I had no wife or children. Given the current state of my life, seeking out a wife would be contraindicated. As to children, I've never wanted any and, given the means by which you acquire them, I've no interest in making any of my own. One might say I'm childfree but not rabidly so. I think kids are okay for other people who want them but definitely not for me.
Anywho, my friend seemed dumbfounded that I have no family of my own. Parents and sibling died out some time ago. But I *do* have a family - the pitbulls here are my family. Granted they aren't human but they're family anyway.
So, how're y'all doing?
