I'm not attracted to males nor females. Is it possible something might be wrong with me?

Question

I'm an adult and I hit puberty a long time ago.

Answer 1

Nothing wrong with you. Do what makes you happy and is not illiegal or an abomination.

Answer 2

Ziggy, I'm afraid you may have gotten some bad information. I did some digging and found the word "abomination" (toebah in the Hebrew Scriptures, Bdelugma in the Septuagint) is never used to describe the ritual uncleanness of a menstruating woman. The word "abomination" in Lev. 18:22 and in Lev 20:13 is a particularly strong one and refers to something that is loathsome or detestable. Moreover, the prohibition passage of Lev 18 concludes with very unambiguous language regarding the practices it had just listed. It is true that Paul was affected by his culture; but part of that culture would have been the Torah he had studied since childhood. EDIT: Ziggy, I can tell that this question matters very much to you; I am sorry that I still disagree with you. You mentioned two objections to the common interpretation of Lev. 18:22: (1) That it occurs within a book largely devoted to Jewish rites and laws, and that it therefore should not be used in a Christian argument against homosexuality (since Christians do not keep many of those same laws); and (2) that wording within the passage suggests that it was referring to temple prostitution and not to normal homosexual relationship. With regard to the first objection: It is true that much of Leviticus deals with ritual rules for the Jewish people. What sets the prohibition passage of Lev. 18 apart is the fact that Lev 18:24-30 declares the mentioned practices to be wrong for anyone. They are not just for Jew or Christian; God judges those who perform these activities. With regard to the second objection: The primary problem with the theory that this passage deals with cult prostitution is the fact that Hebrew words exist for these activities (qadesh and qedeshah), and they are simply absent from Lev 18:22. There is indeed a prohibition of cult prostitution, but it is in Deut 23:17 (v. 18 in the Hebrew Bible). While it is true that there is a semantic range for every word, the context of Lev 18:22 just does not support the interpretation that cultic prostitution is in sight. The two ancient sources that could have suggested otherwise (the Acharei Mot and the Septuagint) both interpret the passage as a simple prohibition of homosexual activity: "Do not lie with a male as you would with a woman." You asked the qestion, "Why do Christians denounce gays?" I believe that they shouldn't. I believe firmly that God loves gay people, and I have seen enough personal attacks on this site to last me a lifetime. HOWEVER, when Christians believe that homosexual activity is objectively wrong, they are being faithful to their sacred text. It is not a question of being woodenly literal, of disregarding genre, literary theory, or other interpretive devices. It is simply a matter of taking the text seriously. To insist otherwise would be to reject a plain command, and to treat as unimportant the opinion of the author of one-third of the New Testament.

Answer 3

It is eccentric that you, as an individual to a social society, do not have a sexual preference towards men or women. As a psychologist, I have studied similar cases at hand. I find it evident that a fog is clouding your subconscious. I would need to associate with you on a larger scale to make my diagnosis more definite, but that can be dealt with later. Anyways, you not having a preference towards either sex indicates a lack of knowledge related to sex, l lack of interest in any sexual manner towards others, or a base groundwork to bisexualism. Do you really not care who you associate with, or do you resent the thought of sex? Answering that may lead you closer to your ultimate intimate answer. Let's keep in touch and together dig deeper into your thoughts. Continue to have a wonderful day. Peace, love, and happiness. ~Leah~

Answer 4

your just not a sexual person don't freak out you will find someone that cranks your gears but in the mean time just don't stress yourself over it. Maybe you need to talk to someone about it. You're not the only person in the world with this problem i don't feel attracted to men or women ether and you can talk to a doctor about it they help alot. it is all to do with stimulating your hormones

Answer 5

No, you probably have an emotional detatchment of some sort.

Even though it was may not seem like you like anyone now, you'll have someone later.

And even then, the attachment, because of this current experience, will make it even better and stronger.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Maybe maybe not...there could be a chemical/hormonal imbalance...otherwise what everyone else said...if it doesnt bother you...then its not a problem...but if it does look into if there is an imbalance or maybe some emotional or psychological reason from your past that is preventing you from having feelings either way.

Answer 7

You could be asexual, or maybe just have a low drive, I was'nt interested in others for a little longer than others but I guess thats a little different,

Below are a couple of different websites you might be interested in

Answer 8

You might be asexual. The Smiths singer is. Isaac Newton, and Nicola Tesla were too. They died 80 year old virgins.

Answer 9

This is going to sound like psycho-babble, but There's nothing wrong with you unless it bothers you or affects the quality of your life.

Answer 10

Maybe you are just more interested in something else. However, you may be one of those extremely rare individuals that could be called an "asexual" - you just aren't interested.
