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
ADHD is reasonably linked with possible hypersexuality in men and women.

It's very telling that this study seems to have a real problem with people accessing pornography - I wonder which church-backed pressure group paid for it?
The whole problem with humans is we deny our basic purpose - to survive and procreate - so everyone is trying to judge things that are completely natural. In the wild, access to food or sex may be extremely limited - so as a species, we're designed to grab all we can when it's available.
Most animals that enjoy sex will masturbate - some using a form of frottage as a dominance enforcement - like dolphins and chimps do.
Masturbation and orgasms aren't about procreation, it is just a good sensation to experience and relieves a lot of tension.
Honestly, we may be evolved from something more primitive but we still have plenty of flaws
I'm not doubting that you're a good person and that you hold noble standards - as do I. I'm realistic though and I know that the vast majority of people out there have variable standards for everything they do when convenience allows. Given the opportunity, they will sink to the lowest possible denominator.
Thats the NT population. I am evolved. I go out of my way to help other people even to my own detriment at times because its the right thing to do. My concept of right (order, predictability, fairness, stability) , wrong ( chaos, unpredictability, unfairness, instability) is fairly well developed. Its not based on religious beliefs its motivated by my autistic tendencies.
Everyone like to believe they are 'evolved' - remember last March's toilet roll shortage? It's a (tissue)paper-thin facade between us and the wild-man.
We create our own purpose there is no predefined purpose. We can survive without sex no problem, we can die without food and drink not if we have sex. Its not us who wants to procreate its our DNA , thats a biological process that can malfunction so that we don't have that desire (so what purpose is that really, its just biology, science, not purpose ) but we can still have purpose that we define for ourselves. You are sounding like a NT person that's a key way that they think i.e. grab all we can for ourselves and screw everyone else.
