Hi everyone.

I wonder how many of you are experiencing the same - or have been and were able to solve it somehow.

I'm a single woman in my 40s and I believe I will remain so. I've never had a really long lasting relationship due to my physical intimacy issues. My longest one lasted 5 months, and my last one was 7 years ago. I'm fine with celibacy but what bothers me more is the fact, that I find human body too disgusting to be able to imagine, for example, moving in with someone, share everything or even have sex again. The older one gets, the more disgusting their body gets, that's how I see it. The odors, the sounds, the liquids and all the rest it excretes or emits ... Ugh. I don't find this too disgusting though - my social life doesn't suffer otherwise, I have a few wonderful friends, whom I love very much, I meet people almost every day at my work, I do voluntary work at a retirement home, I attend theater shows, lectures, exhibitions, sports ... to sum up, I have no problem being with other people, as long as the situation remains outside of my most intimate space (or keeps me out of theirs).

I'm a highly sensitive person, but still, I wonder, how would my life turn out if I could be less disgusted by our biology. Do you think it's possible?

Thanks in advance!

I think anything is possible!! What do you want to do? Do you want to overcome that belief or do you want it to stay the same? Or somewhere in the middle?

Thank you. That is a good question. I'm not sure yet. But even if - how could I overcome repulsion for bad breath of somebody or poo smells or nostril hair or ugly toes or obesity ... I'm not just thinking this things, I'm feeling it phisically.

I want to add that I feel the same about my body, but it's easier because, well, I'm stuck in it.
