Is it common for a teen Aspie to feel sexually frustrated?

Of course it is common for a teenager, aspie or not, to live in permanent sexual frustration. In fact, I'm sure most parents agree that's the way you should live till you no longer depend financially on them, though many will probably "soften" it by telling you you shouldn't want sex, or your sexual needs should be perfectly fulfilled by masturbation for so many years, and by dismissing any wish to enjoy you physical prime as a childish whim unworthy of any respect.

I'm sure telling my parents I wanted to have sex as a teenager would have been the most reliable way to get them to do everything in their power, not just to prevent me from getting close to any girl for as long as I needed their permission, but also to leave me in a situation in which it were as hard as possible to eventually do it as an independent adult. And, considering what actually happened, their power in this regard was truly immense. It's hard for me to imagine how most teenagers can make so many decisions about their own lives, instead of resigning themselves to a life reduced to studying and doing what their parents tell them to (which don't even need to be entirely compatible goals), and being very grateful for it, because it could always be worse.
