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

  • 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?
