FISHING FOR ANSWERS
Dear Friend and Personal Life Coach,
I know you are on vacation, but I must ask you to put you're fishing pole aside for a few minutes. I have something important to share with you that can't wait.
I stumbled on to something that may answer some big time questions.
Without giving it all away before we meet in person at our regular session two weeks from now, this is what it is basically about.
As you know people are usually considered "Straight, bisexual, or homosexual" but now I hear there is a fourth group appearing that are none of the above they were simply born with no desire for sex whatsoever.
Like plants and animals often are, they are ASEXUAL. Often great people, loving people, they just have never had any sex drive.
After researching this for awhile, I am quite sure that "the fourth way" describes my fiance' for the past 10 years.
I have heard it is not something that can ever be "fixed" or that "4th way people" EVEN want to fix.
My question to you is,
"How do I find out for sure IF this is how he is, or if he is just Shy?"
Sincerely,
Greta
P.S. The enclosed Scientific American Article will help you get a better idea of what I am describing here.

Dear Greta,
Just a note to say how grateful I am for you sending me the article on the "4th Way To Be".
I have a Mensa friend who told me once, "It helps so much to be able to put a NAME to a feeling you have long held."
I have read and re-read the Scientific American article you sent me, also googled other articles of a similar nature on the subject. The "ah-ha's" I have had are enlightening to say the least. I am convinced without a shadow of doubt that this may have been what you have been dealing with all the long or just couldn't put a name to it. Of course we need to look into this further before deriving any positive conclusions.
I can see where it may give you a great deal of relief and perhaps a sense of peace, over something that has troubled you for a long time. Mostly it may take away the guilt you have felt, those feelings such as "Maybe there is something intrinsically wrong with me...," or... "Maybe I have not tried hard enough, long enough...."
It has been a long journey for you, and you of all the people I have delt with over the years, may have shed light on this for ME. If not that, at least something more for me to consider with future patients.
Thank you, let's talk in person soon!
Your friend and Therapist
