Thanks, Jess. I’m so sorry for what you went through. I have an opinion similar to yours, but from a different perspective. I’ve always treasured love over sexual contact. My wife now knows some of what was behind my lack of sex drive, but even when I wasn’t actively dressing ro feeling more female, I still craved snuggling over doing it.
I didn’t have any abusive history (other than my own self-flaggelation), but if I never had sex with anyone the rest of my life, I’d be okay with that. However, lack of loving contact is something I can’t forego.
