I'm not shy, but basically uninterested. The result is that women were always talking me into affairs and the like. It took me a long time to learn how to stick to my boundaries and say no.
One can have wonderful friendships with members of the opposite sex as long as they avoid romantic and sexual entanglements.
Sex and relationships are largely overestimated and barely ever worth the effort. If you're in a relationship, you only double your trouble. The belief that people "need" sex is only a social myth. People need clean air and water, food and shelter, but not sex. The alleged need for it is only caused by the bombardment of more or less subtle sexual messages in the sense of "sex sells".
If you don't have any need/want for sex well that's great. However, you are
not going to convince those of us who do to feel differently my friend. Even if it is in our best interests to do so. If I knew how to turn off my sex drive, I would do so in a heartbeat and then turn it back on again once I could indulge it. Does salt peter work?
I've never understood why women are always gravitating towards guys like you who are clearly not interested in relationships
nor in sex but are often turned off by/complaining about guys who are interested in it and want a woman to sleep with. What is it about the female of the human species that is always wanting whatever it is they haven't got or cannot have......
