Trigger warning (sexual themes)Sex snd autisim

Does anyone else feel Sex and masterbation are possibly more of an important thing when you have autism 

luckily ive never had any issues with hyper sexuality or anything inappropriate but I do find that when I get comfortable in a relationship that Sex becomes a thing it almost acts as a way to help regulate me (as well as other things snd done in moderation)

I find masterbation does this less for me now that I have an active sex life but sometimes it’s the only option becuase obviously sex should be a two way thing that both partners want 

i also heard fetishes are more likely in autistics and I have a few(fairly vanilla ones that most partners have been fine with) and if anything I wouldn’t have it any diffenet as it’s all sensory things

my sexual feelings once led me to the realisation I didn’t love one of my exs anymore as sex had lost it’s fun and it was hard to even prepare for it

not sure how much of that rektales to autisim but I think wihout all of that i may not I’d met my oartnet who ive been with for 15 years so thank you weird sexuality for helping me find happiness haha

  • 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.
