Hello!. My name's Fede (I didn't know how to change my stupid nickname), but as you can see, I'm a man, age 28, from inner Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I resort to this website at the same time that I congratulate the United Kingdom government for having such a Society. Here in Argentina there are only groups of parents, nothing for the autistic adults.
I am here to ask for advice about my sexuality and whether anyone experienced it. I'm nearing my 29th birthday in Sept. and I have tremendous hindrance when socializing, and it has impeded me from developing a bond where to release sexual frustration.
I DO know that sex itself is not the most important part of life, but at 28, almost 29, it's taking a heavy toll. I am also part of the gay community, and I have not found another guy to whom I can explicitly ask to have sexuality with him, and mum has warned me that things don't work that way either, that I must build a confidence first before asking for intimacy, which makes me desperate.
I compare myself to other guys my age and it also drives me crazy.
My specific question is: Is there any tool besides of those given to me by psychologist to deal with sexual frustration? I've started to do gym and it helps me lots, but in thought I am still "angry" regarding that.
How was your experience as an autistic adult?
Well, from Argentina, a huge hug to the National Autistic Society, this forum's members and everyone out there. I send you a hug and I love you all.
PS: I'm not "materialistic". I want love instead of sex, but sometimes the sexual thoughts right now control my mind.
Thank you for the understanding.
