My libido is very low, and i have excessive facial hair, im currently seeing an endocrinologist to try and figure out whats going on with my hormones.

Generally from what i heard from psychologists, Autistics generally don't crave sex as a emotional bond but a function. Everyone with autism is different... some have a higher emotional IQ than others.


What do you mean "as a function"?


Reief of stress- only to achieve orgasm. not to share it with another human being.

No... well i dont think so... it just means your not interested- or perhaps eve cant- form a emotional bond in the same way someone without autism does. i dont fully understand it, all i know is i myself do not crave emotional bonds with others, although i do like people but i like situations better than actual people. And i can still BOND with people i just dont feel that 'warm fuzzy' feeling that others do. i suck at explaining this.

before menopause, i had a very high sex drive. i'm responsible, though, so it didn't result in lots of kids.

Sex? I do not know what this thing means.......... >>

36 night before valentines, yet another consumer day approaches for retailers. My computer is my gf, as weird as that sounds.

Sadly most people in NZ think that Asperger's is something that goes away in adulthood. Its not fun sometimes living in a country full of morons!

As someone who has to "reason out" many of my emotions I can relate to a degree. I've come to realize only recently when I say I "love someone" it's different from most "normal" people. The bonds I form are string but are more based in logic and obsession. I get super attached to people, a very select few, but it's more formed in a possessive/protective way than a romantic way. I think there are many people who value a more reasoned out love than one that is all "warm and fuzzy". The reasoned out one may not be as spontaneous and textbook romantic, but it's far more reliable than the vagaries of emotion that exists apart from any logic.

I too view sex as a function. I do see how it brings people closer and have experienced it, but in a more logical way. I see it as confirmation that I can trust that person with more personal things. Because what's more personal than being touched in the most personal of ways?

I guess my point is, and I'm not sure if this is what either of you are getting at here, is that it is entirely possible to have a sexual relationship that includes more than just that even if you struggle with identifying you emotions or they are very numb. Also finding the right person awakens things you didn't even know were there. At least for me it's worked that way.

I have an extremely high sex drive, but I've never had sex before. If I ever do, I hope I hate it so that urge goes away. I don't like being ultra-horny every day and having no outlet other than masturbation.

Very interesting to see a lot of what I feel inside being verbalized, yet again, by others. I have a very high sex drive, but it's as described. More function than emotional. For me the function is this: If this person will do this, they must like me. My bonds are definitely more protective than anything. I'm not sure it could be possessive though as I am more than willing to let people walk away. I prefer that actually. At least that I can understand. I do crave to be a part of the 'social club'. But if you can only express things in such a limited way, it does not lend itself to causal socializing.

Yeah...that ain't gonna happen. It just ain't the same and it's a biological function that exists in everybody to some degree or another.

Age has something to do with it too. I'm 55. It's nowhere near as strong as it was 10 or more years ago on backwards.

@ ZombieBrideXD....As for the excessive facial hair. It does happen. Could be a hormonal imbalance. Glad you're seeing a specialist for that. But, it's really not all that unusual.

Actually, we have as much body hair as the other great apes. We just have it much smaller. And depending on the race, varying degrees of body hair 'visibility.' Genes are a b***h...LOL

I've been looking this topic up recently because I thought it was just me being unnaturally horny all the time, but apparently there's some correlation between AS and sex drive and I do think it has to do with mental fixation. I've always liked sex, and since it's a special interest for me, it's on my mind and therefore my body reacts to that fixation.

I also thought it would diminish with age, but to be honest, my sex drive is as high right now in my 30s as it was when I was 15. It just started one day when I was 12 and hasnt gone down since (pardon the pun!) I basically have to fap everyday or I literally can't think (sorry if this is too graphic).

I'm female btw and bisexual (though I don't have sexual experience with women, only guys, but I'm attracted sexually by girls too)
