| I am in a somewhat similar situation in life, with the exception that I can work freelance. That said working my job freelance is lacking a bit in prospects. It's just minor commissions until I die - for some achievement, I'd have to have, you know, a career. So a few years ago I did take a teachin... |

| Also, it's possible to have sex without penetration. For example, mutual masturbation is a form of sex where you use your hands to stimulate each others' genitals. Or if it's easier for you to handle putting a penis in your mouth than your vagina, you could do oral sex. It's always a good idea for s... |

It's also possible to use vegetable oil as lube, as long as you're not using sex toys. Some sex toys are damaged by vegetable oil.
No one is going to look at you funny if you ask them where to find the canola oil. |

| Non-psychotic delusions are delusional beliefs that are plausible but inaccurate. Eg a delusional belief that your significant other is cheating on you. It's something that could plausibly be true, but the person believes it as a fixed belief despite no evidence for it and evidence against it. Psych... |

| The only person I've met IRL on the autism spectrum who claimed not to have sensory issues refused to do certain activities that can often cause sensory discomfort and didn't seem to know why. So I'm guessing they had unrecognized sensory issues. |

| From my understanding, here's how epigenetics works. The vast majority of cells in your body have your entire genetic code in their nucleus. But that includes many, many genes that aren't relevant to that particular cell - eg a cell responsible for being a hair follicle doesn't need to know how to s... |

| Not everyone who has periods is utterly miserable and has significant discomfort during them. I have painful cramps, but they're manageable with pain meds, and apart from that one issue, periods aren't really bothersome to me. I don't have any PMS or any other period symptoms besides bleeding and cr... |

| 5.) There's a whole concept of "sexual awakening". Apparently some women don't start feeling sexual urges until well after puberty. I remember a female co-worker declaring she was never sexually aroused until she was 18* and have read other accounts of this, whereas a guy will usually fee... |

A feeder fetishist dominant might find that kind of partner very appealing. Which highlights my biggest problem w... |

| I read some studies that the autistic women have higher testosterone levels than the NTs. If that's true, that would mean autistic women have higher sex drive. And desire sex more. A natural consequence of higher levels. It's not that simple. Most hormones have complex, hard-to-predict, highly indi... |
