The relationships and intimacy strategy thread

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.

  • I propose chemical castration.

  • Cat - I think esoteric is trying to say that life might be easier if nobody was interested in "hanky panky"  as we used to call it in the old days (trying to avoid being moderated here)

    However people also want companionship and someone they can rely on to always be there for them - it's not all about the physical aspect, which can be great when you're young, but as you and I know, that drive is usually lost when we get older. I think it's nice to have a live in best friend to care for and who cares about you. 

    Esoteric - This thread should not just be about physical intimacy - we need to try to support people in how to find love in all its various forms.

  • I feel tired of many things, sometimes kinda tired of my life, like it’s everything too much. Do I’m also kinda tired of sex
