I feel bad / guilty because I have to constantly turn down my husband for sex. He’s a hypersexual and I think I’m on the asexual spectrum ( I’m still figuring myself out) and he constantly wants sex. I feel awful for always denying him because I’m never in the mood to do it. Combined with my health issues and my lack of desire, sex is becoming pretty few and far between. It is mentally exhausting seeing his reaction when I tell him no over and over again. Is there any way I can stop feeling so guilty over this??

      How old are you? I'm in my late 30's and my sex drive has gone down to pretty much zero in the last year. I still want to be romantic. I think I'm starting menopause. What about aphrodisiac herbs there's a lot of herbs that can be worn as oils and ingested in tea that are said to be aphrodisiacs. I would ingest Damiana, cinnamon, clove and vanilla. In like a tea. It's ok to be ace. it's ok to be an ace person who occasionally has intercourse to make their partner happy. It's ok to be an ace person who only wants to on special occasion. Some people are ace flexible, mean once in a blue moon they are into it and want it because they want it. Sexual orientation is such a spectral thing for many people. I will say that forcing yourself to engage when you don't want to is self betrayal. Can you talk with your partner about this safely and comfortably? I would highly encourage that so he knows too, that you love and desire them but you're not interested intercourse and that it's not personal. If they love you they'll understand.

      If you didn't care you wouldn't feel guilty. Have you tried doing other things? Do you think you'd ever let your husband be with another person? Do you just not like sex or is it painful or are u not attracted to him? Maybe if it truly bothers you then you should try medication to help with mental issues or if ur on medication maybe you need different ones. Maybe try CBD or marijuana maybe it can help relax you. If not maybe you're just not the type to be sexual with a partner. Just trying to help.
