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
Oh no, I have a lot of crushes on men. It was far, far worse when I was a teenager and in my 20s but now I'm in my 50s it's decreasing. It makes life quite fun and now I'm at the age where young men don't mind me flirting because they don't find a small greyish haired woman threatening
Sorry M I'm replying to myself because the reply button yet again does not appear on your comment. I've tried refreshing the page and bobbing up and down X number of times but it just isn't there.
Anyway, yes I had intense crushes, it was hard not to act on them but as I'm happily married I am proud that I never cheated. I'm glad that phase has passed, I'm losing interest in sex as I'm in my 50s now. It is indeed very messy and dehydrating.
I am fine with talking to attractive strangers but as you say, quickly lose interest.
