**NEW YORK** – A sex columnist has advised a reader to end his relationship after his partner admitted to a lack of sexual attraction, despite professing love. The anonymous man, who suffers from low self-esteem stemming from negative experiences on dating apps, detailed his struggles in a recent advice column.
His long-term partner, who recently relocated internationally, confessed to a lack of physical attraction while maintaining that the relationship was otherwise fulfilling. The columnist, Zachary Zane, author of “Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto,” criticized the partner’s delivery of this news, highlighting the insensitivity of such a statement to someone already struggling with self-confidence.
While Zane acknowledged the importance of honest communication in relationships, he emphasized the need for compassion. He pointed out that the partner’s lack of attraction may stem from external factors such as stress related to the move, unmet needs within the relationship, or other underlying issues.
However, Zane ultimately concluded that the partner’s apparent lack of effort to address the issue, coupled with the existing emotional damage, indicates a fundamental incompatibility. He strongly urged the reader to end the relationship, emphasizing the importance of finding a partner who finds him sexually attractive for his mental well-being. Zane also recommended therapy to address the reader’s pre-existing self-esteem issues. The column concludes with a call to action encouraging readers to prioritize their own emotional health and seek fulfilling relationships.
