sex is disgusting
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this? I find everything to do with it absolutely revolting. Are my friends right, does this mean I'm a prude? Am I the only one who thinks this?
Kidding! I'm only kidding. I think it's a fairly common thing. I don't think it makes you a prude. Is it like a germaphobe thing? What's go disgusting about sex? What do you mean by everything about it?
How old are you?
We have to talk about all this type of stuff in my Psychology courses, and believe me, you are not alone.
I can't second you on this one...
but I can tell you that it doesn't necessarily make you a prude.
I'm guessing you're still young, so your whole view on things could still change.
EDIT: Again, referencing adults above and am sure I knew teens who felt this way back in the day. I may not have found it disgusting then but wasnt interested either.
Hi, you're 15 right? It's ok to feel that way at 15. If you don't want to be having sex or coming near it, you're fine. Listen to those feelings. If you feel this way in 5 years, that would be different.
It depends on how old you are. If you are a kid you may change your mind later, but don't bow to peer pressure to do anything you're not ready for.
Adults have varying sex drives, all normal.
Just be yourself
Jewelsmcblah (nice username btw lol) when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. It makes me want to gag.
I've never actually had sex before, so I'm not basing it on anything but what I've learned from friends and school. At least I know I'm not alone lol.
Edit: and yes i'm 15.
sex isn't disgusting; indiscriminate sex is. when you're ready, it won't disgust you anymore.
I think that you are very very young, so at that age is normal. i thought the same. Now that im in my late 20's and with my fiancee i think very different. You will feel different once you get older...
I think that your parents would be extremely happy to know your outlook on sex!

Wow, already seeing Im off base - Ive heard some say its overrated but not anyone before to actually find it to be disgusting.
Meh, I don't think you're off base...
I believe it's uncommon, so it's wouldn't be odd to have never heard of such a thing.
It's a sexual dysfunction of the desire phase, sexual aversion to be exact. There could be a number of different causes, ranging from biological to psychological.
She's still so young, so I'm going to guess it's just age related.
To the OP: I'm going to have to agree with "alevin," if the problem continues in 5 or so years, look into sexual aversion and see if the symptoms apply to you. There's different therapy techniques out there that could possibly help you.
For now, don't even worry about it! You're still young, there's plenty of time for things to change.
um.no. sex is AWESOME.
You will change your mind once you have it.
oh wait your 15......
I lost my virginity when I was 15 and didn't think it was disgusting at all.
this thread made me giggle
You're 15, and sounds like the group you hang out with is already "out there and experiencing it," AND sharing details of it that you may not fancy hearing.... and I'm 33, and I'm not into sexual details of my pals either, LOL!
Once you are with that special someone that seems to "click" with you and "jive" with you, I have a feeling that without you even trying or realizing an attraction in that manner is going to start and build. And, when that day comes, that you go all the way with someone, it's not going to be AT ALL how your pals are choosing their words to gossip about it with you.
Great job in not sucumbing (sp?) to peer pressure. I'm sure it's not easy, and at 15, I know the strength of it. So, YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!! You make many people think highly of you by "not doing this" JUST because so many 15 year olds are.

um, jblarghp? do you really think it's helpful to be throwing around terms like "sexual dysfunction"? i get that you're in a psychology class, but i seriously doubt that you're either qualified or have enough information to make a diagnosis. (if you were qualified, you'd have more sense. not to mention ethical constraints.)
That is sad that you find it revolting but being that I have two 15 year old family members who are both pregnant I think that is a good thing at your age! I love having sex, but only when I'm in a serious relationship and when the sex is safe! Someday you will change your mind... but don't rush. You take your time! 
I'm pretty sure I made it a point to state not to worry about it, and that she's still young.
I told her if this continues once she is older, she should then look into it. I never claimed that she had it, nor do I think she does.
If you're a full grown adult and you find sex repulsive/disgusting, more than likely you have a sexual dysfunction. It's a dysfunction of the desire phase, and it's called sexual aversion....( you don't need to be a qualified psychologist to know types of sexual dysfunction.)
I'm not diagnosing anyone.
There's professionals for that.
I'm simply saying what I know about the subject.
If you mistook what I was saying, and felt I was diagnosing her (somehow,) then I deeply apologize.
:)
edit: Actually, after reading my second post, I can see why it seemed like I was diagnosing her. The first part of that post was actually a response to someone else. They had never heard anyone say sex was "disgusting," so I was explaining it was a dysfunction among adults.
I'm fixing to be 19, haven't had sex and I don't really care about it. I don't find it particularly disgusting, though. I just really dislike hearing people talk about it, and I am suuure that I come off as a prude to many people, but that's their problem, not mine.
At 15, I think you are fine like that! Sometimes I wish my cousin would think sex was disgusting, too.
@16: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, as they say. me, i prefer not to pathologize.
i love sex. i love it in the morning, in the evening, after i shower, before i shower, after a workout, middle of the night, after i eat.
sex makes me feel good in more then 1 way. i feel better about myself and everything going on.
Buts its okay if you don't feel the same. Maybe it just doesn't release the same endorphines for you.
im just simply stating that I enjoy sex.
*edit:
on a side note. I did not lose my virginity until i was out of high school and in a serious relationship and i am still with that person.
I don't find it disgusting... in fact, there's little I find disgusting. It's just who I am.
However, I have an aversion to anything hedonistic or pleasure-based, so I do find it to be over-rated. I'm at war with my biology, which likes sex... because rationally, I can see there's no real point to sex for the point of sex. I find my sexuallity a bit depressing because I always know that I could be doing something more productive with my time than thinking about sex.. Maybe I'm just boring..
