For the best

I think that sexuality is no longer part of my life.  After a lifetime of exposure to explicit media and masturbation, the feeling has faded drastically.  I no longer feel any such libido in real life.  I see this as a good thing, my mind is free to pursue other more important things, and I'm too out of touch and unattractive anyway, but no hard feelings there.

  • As long as you are straight up about your needs then that’s a good place to start with the person who are interested in. You have confidence in what you need from life so take it from there. 

  • now you put it like that, that's really what I want, and disconnection has been a dominant theme for many years, and it's become such a physical and mental drain to shoulder for so long.

  • Seems like you could benefit from finding someone similar to yourself who likes to be occupied with the things they enjoy but is also open to the idea of a relationship on whatever terms that may be. I think not being with someone in a romantic way for some time can have a huge impact on your confidence and ability to see life through clearer lens’s. Even feeling disconnected from main stream society comes with the same side effects, lack of confidence, self doubt. You are still young, there’s still time to write a new chapter in your book of life.
