I don't want to have sex, don't really miss it

I don't really miss having sex, don't like to be touched.
I think that something may have happened to me as a child that I can't remember
I  remember kindergarten, some of 2nd grade, but then really nothing until 4th grade...
wonder if something happened then that has hung over my whole life

I did suffer being sexually abused as a child and while I don't remember it I know it happened but I have blocked the actual events out of my head but along with blocking that I have also block any memories from my child hood.  There are a few moments I can recall but mostly bad.  It's a horrible horrible feeling and I hope it is not what you discover has happened to you.  It def haunts me every day and affects many aspects of my life.

I broke my back in an automobile accident back in March of 2000 and it's been extremely hard for me to have sex anymore. BUT just like you I don't really miss it.
Don't get me wrong there is a part of me that would like to make love with my wife, but it is just not important to either of us.
I find that the intimacy we had while having sex can, and has been replaced with the intimacy we now share.
I wouldn't be stretching the tureth one bit if I said that my wife, and I tell eachother five or more times a day that we love eachother.
And it's not unusual at all for us to be passing in the hall, or in the living room, and just stopping to share a hug.
While you don't enjoy being touched, there are many ways to be intimate with your partner without having to jump in bed everytine you turn around.
My wife, and I are a thousand times more close now, than when I had to have sex everytime we got into bed together.

This is a very real possibility, but only a professional can determine if this is what is happening with you.  There are other things that can make you lose interest in intimacy, so I would see your doctor for a good physical check-up, and go from there.  Going for therapy can open your eyes to many things, can't hurt and may help.  
Take care....
