Strong sexual desire, but no interest in actually meeting anyone — is this normal?
I’m sexually curious and I definitely have sexual desire. I like talking about sex, learning about it, and exploring things on my own.
But I have almost no desire to actually meet someone for sex, hook up, or “see where it goes.” Even when I enjoy sexual conversations with someone, the idea of actually meeting them in person makes me pull back.
It’s not that I think sex with another person is bad. I seem to want the conversation, curiosity, and fantasy without necessarily wanting to turn any of it into something physical.
At one point, I even wondered if maybe I was attracted to women instead, because I had so little interest in meeting men. But I’m not sure that explains it either.
Does anyone else experience this — having sexual desire and curiosity but very little desire to actually meet people for sex?
