So, I'm asexual but my boyfriend is not. I've already told him about it, and we're both fine with it, but we haven't actually talked about the sex part of our relationship yet. I'm not interested in having sex at all, but I'm wondering what I can do instead in case if he still needs SOMETHING?

And also, how should I bring it up to him to talk about?

If you are not on the same pages then it might be a bit presumptious to consider him as your "boyfriend" rather than a friend or even a best friend. This sounds like a relatively new relationship , still in progress of developing, right? In case he "still needs something", there's little you can do about it, other than to accept things as they are. You may well end up being his friend rather than his girlfriend, so decide if that's comfortable enough for you, as he will also need to decide. Expect that he will move on in the romance department to someone who is on the same page as himself. And as for how you talk to him about this, you simply raise the subject for open and honest discussion and take it from there. Good wishes, Dr. Stephanie
