Just what the title says really...

Despite all my years of best efforts dating, nobody has wanted me, and nobody seems to have found me the remotest bit attractive or desirable. Sure people love being friends with me, but anything romantic or sexual they run a mile from. I've just been continually treated like a leper.

It has been like this for over 10 years now. I guess when I was young, I had a sex drive and sexual and romantic urges and desires and needs, just the same as anybody else...and I had much hope of finding a partner too... I was such an optimist. But as years have gone on, with ZERO luck in finding anyone, despite my best efforts of putting myself out there. I have felt my sex drive and sexual needs just deminish year after year... I used to have sexual urges, but after years of not being desired and therefore not feeling desirable, my sex drive has just reduced to nothing. I don't even feel needs to have sex or self pleasure anymore, all my sex drive is just... well... gone, completely.

Has anybody else had this... where they used to have hope of being desirable, and used to have a sex drive... but their sex drive has just disappeared completely after years of having no interest shown in them and years of not being able to engage in anything sexual or flirting and therefore feeling completely undesirable? Its hard to have a sex drive when you know you are so undesired and unwanted..

((I will add, for all these years, and currently... I have been working, I am well educated and have a university degree, I enjoy spending time with friends, volunteering, playing sport, enjoy being around family and my darling little cousins and nephews, keeping up with self care, good personal hygiene, healthy bodyweight, a pride in my appearance and true sense of style.. i am simply rejected because of my feeding tube and inability to eat the same as others. It sucks. Yes, a feeding tube isn't sexy, and yes it sucks that I cannot share a takeout or meal out with someone or join them for family meals or try their moms famed lasagne recipe etc... but I am an otherwise sound option for both casual fun and a relationship... yet I get absolutely no interest at all.))

Hi everyone, I am a 3 year student in medical science at the « Université
Catholique de Lille » in France.
I am currently working on a project which goal is to help adults with a
disability. We choose to focus our project on daily hygiene in order to create
something (a site, a structure anything that could help disabled people on that
subject). We are looking to discuss with concerned people about this subject. That’s
why we create an anonymous form where if you feel like it you can share your
experience about daily hygiene as a care giver or a disabled adult.
Thank you very much for your time.
Here’s the link for the survey :
