As an autistic man I am cursed with a high sex drive aggravated in the summer. I'd rather be castrated than constantly suppress these urges being unable to find someone who also would like a sexual partnership.
Whilst it may not be the same thing as being in a sexual relationship, have you considered practicing 'self-care' to relieve some of your urges?
Yes and I do it regularly. It helps to quiet it down.
Although I’m a female i had same problem when I was young. Nobody was interested with me and I was “boiling” inside. “Self care” also helped me. Now I’m on meds (fluoxetine) that “kill” my libido. So kinda problem solved
Sorry I didn’t mean any irony in my post
I don’t know what irony you see there… I didn’t mean any irony

I so took that literally. no whiff of irony. proving i have the tism. People have actually get annoyed, cause i seem to just take things literally on reflex. What makes me boil inside, is probably the fact now looking back, although i cant remember specifics, my entire childhood must have been me being gaslighted by everybody in my vicinity, nonstop, day in day out, for years on end, a relentless bombardment...luckily i've blocked it all out. So problem solved.
I think I’m gonna stay on these meds for lifetime because without them I’m crap. Yes, it’s still a problem. But I noticed over the years that I also “cooled down”. I’m 36 so I’m still not old, but also not young anymore.
Cripes - the filters just got me because I listed all the similar meds I have been on over the years (without parenthesis). I'd have to say that I think this is only a very slightly 'kinda' problem solved, noting the whiff of irony in your post.
Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Citalopram, Sertraline, Venlafaxine.......they all "slow things down" depending on dosage. Very, very 'kinda' solving the problem unfortunately......
