Autistic Sex Reputation (NSFW)

the post under this one was titled "earplugs" Made me laugh!

We're starting the rumor right here, right now. The autistic revolution starts with sexuality lmao

This was enlightening. Thank you very much.

This is 100% my ex. I went through therapy for narcissistic abuse after that relationship. I don't understand how some people can be so evil.

I had no idea that we had such a reputation.  Wow!

For the record I wish this were true. If collectively as autistic people we can spread the roumer that autistic people are incredible in bed we should totally do this.

I’ve never heard that be something that NT say. I have heard some autistic people, and I believe there maybe some credence to this, suggest that autistic people may be more kinky on average. This kind of makes sense because if you’re autistic arguably you’re less susceptible to being affected by social taboos which are of course what most kinks go against.

i’ve also heard it said that some autistic women might be having a lot more casual sex than their non-autistic peers. Not because autistic women are more or less interested in casual sex but because they may be less affected by concerns that their social standing and a reputation might be reduced by engaging in it.

but then I’ve equally heard it said that autistic people are more likely to be manipulated for sexual purposes particularly autistic women and that because of those bad experiences statistically they’re more likely to be disinterested in sex altogether.

As I’ve said before I think autistic people tend to gravitate towards extremes. In part because we’ve had extreme life experiences compared to Neurotypicals. people who are extremely sex adverse probably aren’t very notable or obvious amoung The general population. people who are extremely prone to sexual activity and casual sex are probably a bit more obvious and kind of hit the confirmation bias more.

i’ve often heard it suggesting that autistic men are a good deal more sexual than they’re non-autistic peers. but again I think this is likely to be them being less subtle about concealing their sexual intentions and also more open about their sexual interests than there autistic peers.

in my general experience Neurotypicals almost never view any variation of autistic sexuality with any kind of positive light.

I'm sure there are plenty of sensory-seeking autistic people who are like that, and good for them! We're all human beings with human needs amd for a lot of people that does include sex, and being autistic doesn't mean that we're naive or we don't know what we want. But I feel really uncomfortable with NT people seeking out autistic people specifically because they think we're all going to be up for anything they ask for. It's creepy.

I suppose it makes a change from being assumed to always be asexual and aromantic (though I *am* ace myself) but neither extreme is helpful.

In my opinion, I would say it very much depends on the individual. That statement may well be true for some autistic people, but wouldn't apply to all. In the same way that some NT people may be considered wild in bed, whilst other NT people wouldn't be.

What is true is that autistic people can be susceptible to manipulation, and can sadly become the victims of all kinds of abuse.

Autistic people are known for being easy to manipulate. I think that's why some NTs seek us out.
