Autism and sexual desire

I wondered wether there’s something in being on the autism spectrum and having reduced sexual desire-not come across anything in my reading yet so wondered what people’s experiences are? Oh and asking as a woman too. Thanks

  • I lack much sexual desire for sex with my husband but I am quite motivated towards self-gratification. Maybe because there is less pressure to orgasm to make my husband feel good, and made just because I don't have to put any effort into anyone else's pleasure either. It is completely selfish but I just really find sex hit and miss, whereas I know how to please myself and have a much higher success rate!!!
