Trigger warning (sexual themes)Sex snd autisim

Yeh dunno I suppose we all like sex or most of us do and it's natural humans are animals at the end of the day. Maybe sometimes autistic people struggle to socialise and understand boundaries which can be an area of improvement. Dunno but I do hope everyone stays safe and makes sure they keep in contact with people and be yourself. 

That's true 

Direct answer to your question is how would I or anyone else on this forum truly know if it's more important or not for autistics vs neurotypicals?  The sample size that I have to answer your question by is pretty small.  i have asked google (that'll no doubt create an interesting response from the AI for the future) and we have  a response of studies that wraps up answers in terms of social inappropriateness (OK understood all things are relative), sensory differences (stimming) and repetitive behaviours.  And posts in various forms that refer to it.   That covers a multitude of possibilities with no definitive statistics...  I guess the deeper question is (as long as no one else is hurt emotionally or physically or taken advantage of) why should the answer matter?   

I think it’s I don’t like close physical contact with anyone, that’s all. 

I guess wirh masterbation you know what you like and you won’t say no thats gross like a partner might?

I find masturbation to be the only satisfying form of sex and I don’t like sex with other people at all (men or women, although a cuddle  is lush). I don’t like being observed undressed and I don’t really  like touching other people with bare skin, I have only had one long term relationship and before that I think I only dated people because I wanted to fit in and be ‘normal’. I have never been someone who  men fancy but a few women have said I’m hot . I just don’t get it at all. 

That's cool. Everyone has their own thing and everyone likes different things 

ok thanks for that saying you forgot about them made me start stim singing “I forgot that you existed Ha I thought it would kill me but it didn’t it was so nice so peaceful and quiet”

I've been in different situations:

1. Single with romantic partners

2. Long term partners (as a couple)

3. Single wo romantic partners (and using masturbation.)

All have upsides and down sides.

Long-term partner where you can fully unmask and have some social part of you. This deep communication is possibly the most important for me, even more so than having great sex.

Sex-only partners where you have fun but then forget about them. I find this slightly more stressing (each meeting's expectations and masking, for example)

Being alone is likely the best in terms of just being in my mind and interests but lacks the features above.

I used to like fetiches but I care less now. I am sensitive to smells and sometimes it is hard to disguise. Sometimes I would politely ask partners to shower before sex, just because of sensitivity to  smells not many people would detect.

I personally don’t have anything i would call a speical interest when it comes to sex or fetishes this sounds like it would interfere with a healthy happy day ti dsy life to me

I think it's different for everyone. If that makes sense, 

I personally think Sex and masturbation is normal in any relationship/friendship, whatever situation you're in. However, it can be dangerous and a very bad habit. I have also heard that fetishes are very common among Autistic people. I think some say that their fetish is their special interest. The way I see it is, as long as you play it safe and don't get lost in you're fantasy, then you'll be ok.  

You probably know my feelings about ai 

mit mirrors you so unless you give it multiple choices to start wirh it will just agree you have to ask it a question like it’s only just learned how debate works 

Well I'm not sure that this type of "humour", is still allowed under current "interpretation policies" of the rules. In 48 hours or so, I guess I'll have a "probable" answer.  I like to learn, and if I can't fathom "it"....I have to experiment with "it."

PS - On other matters (that might interest you).....I courted the devil!!.....on the principle of "live by the sword, dye by the sword".....and all that jazz.

I asked Chatgpt some questions about it's perceptions of this place, and it's empiric assessment of the evolved/resultant 1) activity levels, 2) diversity and 3) management performance.....metrics here, in recent years.  The responses were neither surprising, nor encouraging....but I wouldn't be so crass (nor blinkered) to think that any such opinion was worthy of "public display" here.

I feel like the "minority report" here, these days!  Those who wish to look, can look.

Thank you for your interesting post about thought-crime, btw.

Hello,

it is a tricky subject and I hope my dry sense of humor has not caused offence? I did my best to post and keep it within bounds of decency.

2 days after any perceived "money shot" has actually occurred?

Good turn of phrase given the nature of the thread LOL

Oh......the soft and purposeful "gentle, gloved, and guiding hand".....of moderation.....herein.......albeit 2 days after any perceived "money shot" has actually occurred?

Nice (I suppose?)  Interesting, if nowt else!?

In drought conditions, it's (I suppose) nice to see some volunteer people still able, willing and empowered to "grab a watering can"......even if the water is just "urgently" splashed all over the concrete patio, and their own shoes?!  We wilt together.

Trying to be quiet...........but prompted here today....... by other matters/folk......on other business.

Yeah it’s better with the same person and in relationships it good for me 

Sex toys for a partner to use a million time yes(as long as they want to) for me no part let becuase make Sex toys are creepier haha 

No No No, no sex toys, horrible things!

I nearly always ended up waiting for it to be over so as I could go back to my book. I find sex in relationships boring and sex the first time with someone new over rated.
