    I think the most women are smart enough to understand the differences between how men and women experience and express sexual desire, but maybe it sometimes grad school beats it out of people.

    Like it’s truly bizarre that her first response was “Oh you’re asexual”, just immediately slapping an identity label on the experience rather than asking a simple probing question in the vein of “Why?”

    (Of course all green texts are fake and gay etc)

        It’s just not the kind of response I’ve heard from women who aren’t super libed out, much less therapists, but I suspect there is trend away from listening and understanding and towards quick diagnosis and categorization in therapy.
