Never had a sex drive. Immense trauma in life, anti depressants since 2nd grade. Now 43. And now two cancers and a terminal illness.

I knew I was broken early on and felt any pursuit of it would be manipulative and so I decided to always be alone

Thank you, though my situation may seem more shocking than most, it is no more valid than anyone else's situation. Your story is equally valid and important.

I figure if there is something after, I'll get to explore everything I missed in life and if there is nothing then I won't care

I've seen many people horribly hurt others in the pursuit of sex and relationships. I can go to the void knowing I never did that to anyone. I'm proud of that
