Not at all! You may be asexual, or ace for short. Not asexual is in, reproducing by oneself. Asexual, as in, not interested in sexual relationships and/or interaction. You may be okay with platonic and/or romantic relationships, but sexual relationships just don't appeal to you. And that's perfectly fine! Many people are like that.
No, it is certainly not wrong. Gender and sexuality both exist on a spectrum, and it is plausible for you to not enjoy sexual relationships at all. It is but a part of you, and you should definitely learn to embrace it. Cheers! :)
Definitely not wrong- it has been the norm to see people in sexual relationships, either by seeing people around or through the media. But not liking sexual relationships could be known as being asexual, which is another type of sexual orientation in which you either don't feel sexual attraction towards others (or feel it, but don't react to it). It's not wrong to be asexual- it's something individualistic, just like any other characteristics that you have that is unique to yourself :)

No, its not wrong at all. Some people are asexual and that's perfectly acceptable. You could experiment to be sure about your orientation though.
No! You could be asexual, demisexual or even just not ready. It is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
Of course not! What you like is only important to you (and your partner should you have one). There is nothing wrong with not wanting a sexual relationship. There could be many reasons for this, maybe one day you will want one, maybe you won't. Either way what is important is that you don't try to force yourself to do things you don't want to do. You know yourself better than anyone else, so trust your instincts.
It's not wrong at all. Some people like that and some people don't as some like chocolate and some don't. Our society today thinks everybody is interested in sex and that's not true. You can have a relationship and no enjoy sex, it's fine.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Different people have different things that they do and do not enjoy. Being who you are should not be wrong. If you feel that making yourself truly happy by being who you are is a good thing, then continue doing so. Your happiness is just as important as anyone else's. Most importantly, keep your head up and do what YOU feel is best for you!

No, it's not wrong to feel that way. Whether it comes from something in your past, from having sexual experiences that you didn't enjoy, or just from disliking or being uninterested in sex overall, it's not wrong. If it bothers you and you would like to enjoy sex there are therapists who can work with that. Or if you feel it's part of your natural personality there is no need to try to change it.
No, it is not wrong. I am not labelling you but have you heard of being asexual? Being asexual is when someone has no sexual feelings or desires. I wouldn't worry as many people feel this same way. This could be a phase but if not and you're happy with who you are, there should be no problem. Hope this has helped in any way!

No, there's nothing wrong at all with not being interested in sexual relationships, It might be that you're just not a stage in your life where you're interested in entering into that kind of relationship with someone, or you might be somewhere on the asexuality spectrum; both completely normal, healthy places to be.
This is not wrong, you are special. Many people are this way, it is just less known. This is called being "asexual", and there are a whole community of people just like you out there. Embrace yourself just as you are!
Having no desire for a sexual relationship is perfectly ok. And if someone tells you otherwise they are so very very wrong. Intimacy can be achieved in more ways than just sex and if your partner or anyone else cant see that they have some learning on the ways of relationships.
Not at all! In fact it's a sexuality, one that I identify as. It's called asexual, meaning you like romantic/cuddly relationships, but never anything sexual

No. Not everyone enjoys them, or has to. One may also be asexual orientation-wise, or in the spectrum (demisexual, greyasexual - worth while to look up). Your feelings don't need validation.
No! Of course it's not wrong! There's a sexuality called asexual, which is where you don't have any sexual feelings or desire to someone else. It It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you at all. It's just how you feel.
is not wrong at all!. Thats how you feel and who you are.
Not at all. It is completely natural to have not sexual desire or to not enjoy sexual relationships. If it feels right to you and it doesn't hurt anyone, it isn't wrong. :)

No it's not wrong. It could be that you're asexual, I suggest this website: http://time.com/2889469/asexual-orientation/
Although this cannot tell you if you truly are or give you an idea, by reading it maybe it could spark some ideas in your head.

You are definitely not wrong for not liking sexual relationships! You might just be asexual, meaning you don't like sexual relationships. It could also mean that you just haven't hit that stage in puberty yet, if you're still young. But that's up to you to decide through experiences and what you feel deep down. The most important thing I want you to know is that it's not your fault. You're not wrong for feeling this way.
There is nothing wrong with not being interested in sexual relationships. A lot of people fall somewhere on the asexuality spectrum.
No, not at all. Some of us (including me) are really uncomfortable with the thought of our significant other or love interest touching us, especially if we're not ready for that kind of step. That doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. Nothing. There is nothing wrong with you. Being intimate at a sexual level requires the ultimate trust and confidence in someone. And of course, we can't entrust something like that to everyone and these things require time and patience. You can take things slow, however you want to, and your partner should be okay with that no matter what

No. It’s perfectlly fine to not pursue sexual relationships. This is called being asexual, and it is not feeling sexual attraction to anyone. It is very normal, and it’s not wrong. It’s part of a spectrum.
Absolutely nothing wrong! It's ok if you're not into sex, the fact that it's not super common doesn't mean it's wrong. Asexuality is a perfectly valid orientation, and asexual people can live happy and fulfilling purely romantic relationships. The asexual community will be there to support you with any doubt or curiosity you might have, if you wish to reach out for people who feel the same as you!

That is not wrong. One of the identities in LGBTQ+ is known as asexual, and asexuals feel no sexual attraction and may be disgusted by the thought of sex. Perhaps if you are attracted to people sexually, but dislike it, you may be on the asexual scale. Or you just may not like being in a sexual relationship period, regardless of your attractions. There is nothing wrong with you at all, and this is perfectly normal. Many people feel like this- some are asexual, and some are not. Some are demisexual, and some are not. Some just dislike sexual relationships.

There is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different so don't compare yourself to the "normal". Maybe you have not found someone that you are sexually interested in yet or maybe you do not find anyone sexually attractive ( and if that is the case then don't freak out it is okay for you to not be sexually attracted to someone). If you need anyone to listen to know also way know that there is someone here that will be happy to. Also, there is nothing wrong with not finding sexual relationships not attractive. Maybe, you don't like that the relationship only focus on that aspect instead of a friendship

Not at all, we all have our preferences when it comes to relationships. You can choose to be in a relationship that doesn't involve sex and you can tell your partner how you feel about it. It is not wrong to dislike sex, it is something natural and we can choose if we want it or not, no one should be forced in doing it if they don't feel comfortable with it. That would be rape, as long as you are happy and make sure that your partner understands that you do not want to involve sex in the relationship.
This is not wrong at all. Many people feel no sexual attraction to others and therefore don't enjoy or want sexual relationships. This is termed as asexuality and it is probably more common than most people think.
Of course it's not wrong! You are a unique individual and you have the right to say "NO" to any kind of relationship you so choose!
