I'm Asexual. I don't consider myself LGBT and really don't want to be involved with that community due the politics and highly-sexual nature of it.

Not entirely certain of the point of your post, or if you just wanted a chance to vent, but saidit would be a great place to build a sub for you folks. You have the right to exclude LGBT people which will keep out the sex talk. The sub would be removed from /all but I think that's what you would want anyway.

I have an obligatory comment to make though. Sorry to impose, when I know that you aren't looking for a cure. Go get a thorough hormone panel done, and make sure you are exercising nearly every day. You won't regret it.

Can you please bugger off with your pet theories about hormones and how exercise is a cure-for-all? I'm asexual and had to do a lot of hormone level checking (thyroid, gonadocorticoids) since I suffered from gynecological problems for years - they always returned normal results. I also exercise every day for at least 1 hour.

Doesn't sound thorough to me. If you didn't get T, FT, E2, FSH, LH, SHBG, DHEA-S, prolactin, progesterone and every thyroid measurement, then you didn't get a full panel. Meanwhile, the doctors will tell you the results are normal even when they are in a low or high range for your age and health status.

But you tipped your hand with your response. It's all I need to know that you aren't feeling well. Hormones are the first step, nuerochemicals are the second. Don't forfeit. Guys go through this all the time and doctors could care less about them. Even when there is a simple fix.

Not having sex is not a problem, wtf. People who don't want to have sex don't need to be "fixed". If they have legit health problems, sure But if the only "problem" is that they are don't want to engage in sex, this is not a problem whatsoever
