I would literally do anything in the world for a way to permanently extinguish this body's "libido"; that is the cure that I need, just like how the treatment for transsexualism is to re-align the physical body with what the brain recognizes. But a non-sexual body will never be acknowledged by society as a real need that some people can actually benefit from. It's always the same bullshit, "have you been abused as a child?" "did you have a religious upbringing that told you sex is sinful?" "are you suppressing homosexual desires?" "you just haven't found the right person" etc, etc, etc... NO, NO, NO, NO!!! I don't have a problem with sex and sexuality, I think it's quite beautiful when I see other people benefit from it. But it's not ME.
Makes me rage. Who gives anyone the right to make assumptions, when they have no idea in hell what I've been through.
Hi Thesmallone.
Perhaps it was too long ago to remember the details, but is your revulsion of sex related to the fact that it made you physically ill, that it is something that made you sick afterwards, or did you have the revulsion to sex for other reasons.
Or perhaps said differently, if the act didn't make you physically ill and depressed, would you feel that the issue was marvelously resolved.
It's a difficult question, especially for someone who may not know what "good sex" feels like. What I mean, is that I for instance got POIS when I was older, so I know what normal sex is, so when POIS came along, I felt the difference. I had a reference as to what was good and what was bad.
Many of you have had POIS since the very first ejaculation. You cna't know what good "free" sex is like, perhaps only imagine.
If you could imagine that sex did not produce sickness and put you out of service for a week or more would that change your hope for the future?
It is an important question, because if your problem stems from a different point, perhpas a revulsion of the sense of "lack of control" or whatever, there is probably a solution.
Sex change, or even being converted to an asexual "could be" a solution, given the right circumstances. IF for instance you feel that a POIS cure, say from research, would make no difference to you, perhpas careful guidance through councelling could lead you to the right solution.
Otherwise, wait, because there is hope on the horizon. We are working on the solution, through professional research.
We resist those who say that POIS is in our heads, but for some, there may be some truth to it. I don't mean this in a negative way. I mean, that it can well be that some just perfer not to be bothered by sexual "nonsense".
The problem is, why? If that why is as a result of never having a good sexual experience which is a result of POIS, then there is hope for a POIS cure.
If the problem stems elsewhere, you should consider following the leads, and find YOUR solution. I'm sure there is one.
