The relationships and intimacy strategy thread

Peter

The purpose of this thread

Most autistic people seem to have issues with their love lives and forming romantic relationships. But most of us seem to really want it. So why don't we pool our knowledge?

This is a place to share what has and hasn't worked for you when it comes to finding sex and or love. Happy married? Tell us how it happened. Did your pick up line crash and burn? Tell us here.

This is the place to brainstorm on how to help autistic people improve their love lives whether that's a one night stand or finding the one and only love of their lives.

What is this thread not!

This is not a looking for a date thread.

This is not the place to moan about how afully hard dating is etc. Productive discussion please. Even if that's just learning from others mistakes.

  • As professional and amateur pornography is so easily accessible, I worry that people with no prior experience of physical intimacy may be under the illusion that they have to behave and look like porn stars. I think it's worth stressing that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and porn stars (including amateur ones) are merely playing a part.

    I can only speak for myself, but when I was growing up I'd had this notion in my head that my first time would be really special, and be a truly mind-blowing experience. It was okay, but certainly not as wonderful as I thought it might be. It wasn't until a good many years (and several relationships) later that I found physical intimacy to be more than just okay.
