Autism and sexual desire

NAS72060

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've never been interested in sex, used to think you only did it to have a child, then realised people in couples were doing it all the time. Used to make me feel a bit abnormal but got used to the idea now. Also a woman by the way, 27 years old

    sexual desire varies across all humans  and indeed species. Try breeding Pandas Slight smile

    I sort of imagine that where most zoos go wrong with panda breeding programmes is that they don't have an adequate supply of bamboo shoots readily too hand. But that is definitely not true of too many humans. I used to love bamboo shoots when I was young, but these days I live somewhere where they are often used too liberally in cooking, and are thus not often of the freshest and most succulent. Not the best aphrodisiac. I'd say far too boringly bland. I'll stick to the rolled oats myself. ;-)

    All this talk of alpha males is also a huge disincentive. Who needs to act like Donald Trump 24 hours of the day!? Life is far too interesting to let mating behaviour become the be-all & end-all of everything. Also there are other theories out there about sharing and co-operation that tend to mess up some of that selfish gene stuff.
