Is something wrong with me?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 8 years, over the last few years, I have realized, I no longer find anyone else attractive at all. No, celebrities, literally no one. This seems weird to me, because even though I have always loved my boyfriend, I used to find others attractive. I can't watch porn, have conversations with friends about attractive guys or anything, I just don't see it anymore. Is this normal? It just seems so strange. My boyfriend still finds others attractive, so it just makes me feel like this isn't normal, maybe even not healthy. I mean, what if something ever happens where we aren't together anymore, will I go back to finding others attractive? Is there something wrong with me? I just want to know if this has happened to anyone else? Is it normal? Or even healthy, to feel this way?

Sounds a bit like demisexual. Itā€™s when you only find people you have an emotional connection attractive.

Well it could be that you love your spouse that much that you have no need to look anymore. Thatā€™s pretty normal :slightly_smiling_face:

Iā€™m the same way when Iā€™m on a relationship. Iā€™ve always thought that was normal, at least for me. :woman_shrugging:t3: I fall in love with people when Iā€™m super close to them, and love and attraction go hand in hand. I may find someone pretty like a painting on a museum wall, but thatā€™s as far as it goes!

You could be demisexual. I am. I donā€™t find people attractive based on looks. I appreciate beauty/ aesthetics. But Iā€™m not physically attracted by that. Iā€™m attracted to the connection. Their personality, intelligence, sense of humor. Which for many people in Monogamous relationships you only share that connection with your spouse. Totally normal.

You didnā€™t say this. But I think the only question that matters here is do you find your BF attractive? If the answer is yes, then this is completely normal.

I canā€™t speak on human behavior! I van speak for my feelings but i have been with my husband over 17 yrs and thereā€™s a huge difference in saying or feeling someone is handsome or beautiful! Its like a catch 22. Because u can say someone is beautiful as like me. Im a grown woman and i dont look at women sexually but i still can say or feel another woman is beautiful but not mean it in any way shape or form that im bisexual or that i will cheat on my husband because i see a handsome man!! Its human nature to have feeling or not towards others. And fr fr every single person in the world has exactly that their own opinions and like buttholes or bellybuttons we all have them or in your case dont have feelings or any attraction whats so ever. You are what they call ā€œin loveā€ and its a beautiful amazing thing!!

Thatā€™s what love is.

I found my husband attractive the day I met him at 14. Weā€™ve been married for 44 years together for 48. He was in the service and we were separated over a year. Never had the need to look anywhere else not then and not now.

I donā€™t think thatā€™s unhealthy at all. When Iā€™ve been in love, Iā€™ve still found others attractive personally, but I would find my partner way more attractive. Thatā€™s maybe different than what youā€™re experiencing, but itā€™s not unhealthy for sure.

Normalā€¦ Youā€™ve just stopped looking.

I wouldnā€™t think about being with anyone else except my husband of 10 years. Heā€™s my best friend , true love , all that jazz. And I am his. But we donā€™t lie to ourselves :joy: or each other. We can still appreciate how sexy another human isā€¦
No. Itā€™s definitely not ā€œnormalā€ the way you say youā€™re feeling. By ANY means ! But weā€™re all different so :woman_shrugging:

My husband and I both feel this way. Weā€™ve actually talked about it. And weā€™ll point out people to each other, because you can recognize that someone is beautiful, without being attracted to them. I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything wrong with being attracted to the person youā€™re with. And no one else. I think it basically means that youā€™re not open to other romantic relationships. Nothing wrong with that.

You might be a demisexualā€¦ you only see sexual attraction to people you have a deep emotional connection too like your boyfriend

Personally, I can acknowledge beauty without attraction. Despite my desire for my partner I still see other men with ā€œnice featuresā€ without having any type of attraction for them or desire to pursue them. Itā€™s totally normal to fully devote your attention to your present partner and invest yourself to giving them the attention, respect, and love they require. But it doesnā€™t mean itā€™s unhealthy or wrong to still think someone of the opposite sex has ā€œnice eyesā€ or ā€œa beautiful smileā€ or even a nice body either :woman_shrugging: (imo)

I went thru this off & on myself. Been w my spouse since 2006. Heā€™s most definitely interested in other women :roll_eyes: while Id rather go shopping & find interest in a can of cranberry sauce.

Unless my boyfriend/husband is Channing Tatum I will always be attracted to someone other than my significant other lol . Seriously though , I donā€™t think anything is wrong with you and I think if something were to happen and you guys were to break up, you would eventually start to find someone else attractive, maybe not at first but eventually.

Itā€™s perfectly normal . And yeah I agree with the others saying you may be demisexual

Start looking for more cerebral sources of attraction. Like look for a hot, steamy relationship in fiction. I like Elliot and the King from Magicians, Fiona and Michael from Burn Notice, and Daniel and Vala from SG1. Look for a relationship that melts paint off the walls and see if that keeps you engaged.

Ok, you guys just taught me demisexual is. Never heard of this before.

Sounds weird but I only get that attractiveness toward anyone either when Iā€™m pregnant or have a few drinks. My husband is dead set that itā€™s my birth control, hormones and stress. Like people hit on me and I donā€™t even realize it. My husband will make a comment like did you see that guy looking at you and I say no because itā€™s just not a priority.

Itā€™s human nature to find people attractive but I think itā€™s also normal not to. We all work in mysterious ways! As long as you are happy in your relationship and itā€™s healthy for you as a whole person I think youā€™ll be okay!

You sound like me I am severely picky but if you look at all of my boyfriends over the years they all look the same every single one of them look the same.
