Synthetic Adrenaline

If you like scifi try reading The Cobra Event. Fascinating story about a disease epidemic and I don't remember any sexual or relationship oriented parts. Also I totally feel you. I write relationships in my fiction because I realize my characters are not me and should probably do normal people things.

Try reading a different genre perhaps. There are scifi stories where romance and sex don't feature much and if they do it's not an important plot point.

That's not so bad. Next person wins a swarm of 10 000 000 moths.

Sounds like you're mostly aromantic!

Yes and they bombed. I thought wanting sex was the same thing as wanting a relationship. I was wrong. Hated saying I love you and hated being tethered to someone.

Nobody said that. Nobody made an appeal to political correctness. People are physical beings with endocrine systems. Unless there's some reason why you're not attracted to each other a friendship can easily spill over into sexual attraction. I don't see what is so wrong with pointing '2' out. If other people are managing to have friendships with the opposite sex that are just friendships that's great and I'm glad for them. But if I could go back in time and make different decisions I would definitely focus more on making female friends because I have often had male ones get awkward. Not always but there's no need to risk the headache.
