Is Asexuality related to Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Hmmm... just started a thread about this because I didn't see this one. I guess I'm asexual and I only just now realized it.

Yeah, Aspie men are more likely to be successful in the romantic area than Aspie women. I think thats because the woman can tolerate the Aspie man's quirks more. Women also act as caregivers for their husbands.

I have AS and I'm asexual. I don't think my asexuality is a result of my autism though. Asexuality is simply all I've ever known. I have no idea what a sexual urge or what being 'horny' feels like. It just feels like it's just me.

I am asexual and in a happy heterosexual relationship! Which I guess is kind of weird, but it's with someone I really, really like and since he knows I'm asexual he goes out of his way to accommodate. But sometimes it has become kind of awkward for both of us when he makes a stray comment about a guy he kind of finds attractive, because he is more attracted to men than I am. He's also only a 1 on the Kinsey scale, which is measured between 0 (completely straight) and 6 (completely gay), so he's still very much straight....

So yeah. People come in many types....

If I am in my late 20s, never having sex, and only masterbate when I get frustrated (upset at not getting an A on a test) AND if I only masterbate through 'rubbing' my *****, if I have never been able to do a hand job, am I likely asexual?

Are you sexually attracted to anything? If yes, you are not asexual, if no, we'll talk.

Unfortunately, I will probably never find a guy who respects the fact that I'm asexual and don't want kids. There are very few men who are asexual.

I'm not asexual.

Unfortunately, I do want kids eventually, adopted or otherwise. Sorry. D:

Well, I could almost prove you wrong. I'm not exactly asexual, but I'm far closer to it than most people (especially for my age group). I really don't want kids either.

Unfortunately, I will probably never find an asexual who respects the fact that I'm sexual and must release my sexual urges through alternative means if I were to partner with an asexual. There are very few women who are tolerant to alternatives.

Thats fine by me. I just can't deal with the added responsibility of raising a child or children...its too much stress for me. I'm too selfish and immature to do so.

If you were a woman I'd give you a wink too. I may be asexual, but I would have sex if a partner required it. Though I can't say I'd enjoy it...

Man, I gotta get outta this thread, I'm posting in it too much.

Perhaps we should PM.
Look I never, ever, get aroused unless I am frustrated.
If I see a good looking girl, I do not care.

What matters to me is being good looking, looking muscular and strong.
If I see somebody who is my age, and has the body I want, I may get a little attrached as in wanting to be their close friend so I can feel cool...but do I want sexual relations? Not really, unless it is a means to end...the end being I can say "Hey...I am cool...because I got closer than anybody else to the cool kid".

However, if I see a good looking person, I never have tried and been in relations, but I can say, I NEVER have been able to "get off" to somebody because I thought they looked good.
I can only "get off" if I am frustrated that person X is bigger and stronger than me or scored better on a test than me.

When I am feeling good about myself, and my body, I can weeks without masterbating.

I am a loner, so I don't know if my lack of sex is due to poor social skills, or simply, that I do not care.
Part of me thinks if I got confidence and could get 'some' that I would be like a kid with credit card and go nuts.
Part of me thinks though I just might struggle, at least at first, to get off, because again I NEVER get off unless I am frustrated and the getting off serves as release for it...and I never get off by a hand job.

PM me if you wish.
I have always wondered if I am asexual or just somebody whose sex ID has yet to be determined due to isolation.

Oh, I can totally feel asthetic attraction to somebody. I'll look at them and go, "Wow, that person's beautiful," but it's not like I want to drag them to bed. They're just nice to look at, that's all.

Well, I can say you definitely show signs of it. You'll have to do tons of research and whatnot, and even then you might not know.

I've been looking for a long time. Asexual is just what fits. I think I'm either that or in the grey area.

Just go with what you feel though. Only you can only really know what you are.
