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

    1. Hi, I have been in a relationship for 3 years and find masterbation easier and more enjoyable as no pressure. I have struggled to have intercourse as I just find it all too much for my head. I use to look at porn pictures which was easier. I find I have a lot of fantasies and weird sexual thoughts which have huge urges. Has this happened to anyone? 
  • yep. As I've never done it and have thought about it almost every day of my life it has got to the point that I will try most heterosexual fetishes. But saying that, if I ever get an offer, it is likely that I would want to run away.

    It's strange really because although I really really want it, I am also very very scared of it.

  • I entirely understand. It's a natural part of the human experience so totally normal that most people would really want to experience it. But It also speaks of connection and vulnerability between human beings and there are few people the average autistic person trusts because society chews us up and spits us out on so regular a basis. Trusting a stranger with your first sexual experience is more or less terrifying. Yet for some reason the more the opposite sex knows us the less they seem to want to be with us sexually.
