    Wanting a higher libido and having zero libido is a problem. Encouraging a person to seek medical advice on an issue they have expressed is a problem is the responsible thing to do.

    At no time did they state they were ace and at no point did I claim being ace is ‘invalid’ or a problem.

    You are projecting your own frustrations onto the conversation when it isn’t about you.

      I didn’t see anything in her posts that implied she wanted a higher libido or that she saw her lack of sexual desire as an issue in her day to day life. I did see her say she might like intimate human connection but that’s perfectly possible without sex. I think we might both be doing some projection, as yes I am sensitive to people who recommend seeing a doctor when someone describes what its like to be ace, but also you seem to assume having sex is a prerequisite to having an intimate relationship with someone.

      It’s not.

        I also have the inability to feel sexual pleasure. I have tried all different kinds of ways of masturbating and none of them have felt like anything

        This doesn’t come across as her being happy with the situation.

        I never once mentioned a relationship.
