We think my husband might have Autism, he is on a waiting list to see someone.
The problem is I have a very high sex drive and he doesn't seem to have one at all. We have been together for 11 years and I always thought things would get better, but they haven't.
Finally today he has said one of the reasons is he doesn't like the smell of me down there, I'm not dirty and I don't notice a smell, so I explained to him that its natural for there to be a smell down there.
I also asked him if there is anything I can do to help him and he said no, he just needs to get over this by himself.
He said he has no idea how he is going to get over it and after always being like this, I can't see how he can just get over it.
I would be grateful for any advice on this.
I'm not sure if this helps and it may have nothing to do with how your husband is feeling but sometimes for autistic people there is a lot of expectation and pressure around sex
I know myself, when me and my wife were first together, the more efffort she made before sex the less I would feel able to do it as I would feel pressure to perform. I'm saying that as someone with a high sex drive. I imagine it could be more so for someone with a low sex drive
