I’m in my early 30’s and I’ve literally always been curious about this. I’ve never in my life had the ability to feel sexual pleasure. I’ve never been on any meds or had any sort of traumatic experiences…it’s just the way I’ve always been even if I try. I’m old enough to say that I’m way beyond simply being a “late bloomer”. It’s just something I’ll never experience.

But it often feels like I’m missing a minor sense like taste or smell or something. Everyone has always raved about the taste of dessert, but I’ve never been able to understand or experience it. Can you describe it in detail it for me? Not just the mental part, but the physical part as well?

Thank you.

Sincerely, An Outsider

    Not just the mental part, but the physical part as well?

    Sexual pleasure is 99% mental. When you are aroused your senses highten. Suddenly your skin and your genitalia becomes very extremely sensitive. Essentially, a lot of the systems in your body begin to behave differently. If you are not aroused then…meh. In fact, “bad sex” (when you aren’t into it) is extremely annoying.
