There has been some lovely fics about asexuality in which everything generally works out fine with minimal pain on both sides. Reality, as we all know, doesn't always work like that.
I would like to see something where it's not always that easy to be the sexual partner in that kind of relationship. For some sexual people sex is necessary to function properly and I would like a fic that deals with that, preferably with a happy ending of some kind, but I'll leave what kind up to you. Long heartbreaking discussions, the frustration you feel when you just want to touch someone all over and they don't want that and so on.
(prompt might be a bit based on personal experience...)
I've been tracking this thread since I saw the post, hoping someone else would fill it.
Apparently, my brain has decided that I need to fill this one. So, like. I'm totally on this one. I'm not sure if I can get the perspective quite right, but I've got an idea that won't go away for anything.

This wound up directly following another prompt I filled not too long ago, wherein Sherlock hadn't yet figured out his asexuality, and had wound up sleeping with John, only then to realise that sex is not something he enjoys. At all. I should mention that I really don't like this pairing, but for some reason, find it fascinating when written in this context. It starts out fairly light, but will deteriorate fairly quickly.
John hadn’t even noticed. Early on, he seemed to have sensed that something was not right, but as events progressed he had become very focused on one goal and temporarily cast everything else aside

For not the first time, Sherlock found that he had severely lost track of the time, only realising how long he’d been in the lab when Molly wandered in with a cup of coffee, which she sat on the table next to him

Things were different. Totally, completely, definitely different. And Sherlock could not figure out how. John hadn’t mentioned anything about the night before, whether to indicate a desire to do it again or to say that it wouldn’t be happening again. He just went on being John, staying out of Sherlock’s way as he busied himself with experiments that he only started working on so John would stay out of his way

Well, I'm afraid I can't help you there, I'm more into the Sherlock side of the spectrum, however if John is one of those people who use sex as a way to demonstrate how much they love their partner, then he's in for a world of frustrations and second guessing.
Try to put yourself in his shoes. How it would be to go for a hug, because you need it in the same way you need to drink water and eat; only to be brushed off because something more appealing to your partner's interests is going on? And it also depends on how asexual Sherlock actually is, is he aromantic as well? Does he like cuddling? Is the prospective of John thinking they might have sex after kissing what puts him off?
Anyway, good luck I guess and keep up that writing!

My sympathies go to Sherlock, though.
I really like what you're doing here, hope to see more of you soon!
