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
I always used to have intense crushes that seemed irresistible. I would even say that these dominated my waking hours throughout my fertile years. Now, later in life, I feel as though I've reclaimed myself and am in control again. Wonder whether my hormone levels were completely out of whack? Or whether I couldn't differentiate between limerence and love? As with so many aspects of life, I'm looking back and wondering, "How was I supposed to know?"
