Oh, Martha!

As an asexual woman, the only way that I could get through the act of sex is by being intoxicated. Inner ace-phobia barred me from accepting myself without trying to ‘make sure.’ Being drunk allowed me to disassociate from the task at hand. I was a fly on the wall, watching the scene play out. Sex can be beautiful, but it’s not for everyone. I thought that I could get over it, but it's not something to get over. I can’t keep willing myself to be someone I’m not. ‘Oh, Martha!’ is personal catharsis.
