Too much sex drive?
I am male.
I don't understand asexual either.
But you have a boyfriend?
Are you homo or bi sexual?

I sometimes think sex drive has a lot more to do with gonad size (I have larger than normal cajones), hormones, and psychological makeup (like not being scarred in some way) than AS.
I dont know if it has to do with the size of THAT....if so well, that might explain allot, haha. I think its mainly hormone levels. I'm not scared of allot of things as well so you might be on to something here.
Bigger testes would probably give you higher testosterone levels, which in turn have been shown to reduce fear or increase aggression. This doesn't mean you'll be free of anxiety or fear (I used to have quite a lot of anxiety), but it should push you in certain directions with your drive.
Case in point -- I distinctly remember when I was 12, and really got the onset of puberty (not just pubic hair) -- it was crazy, like someone switched a light switch on. I was attracted to girls/women before, but once puberty and testosterone really hit, its like I was thinking about sex all the time, wanted to jump on the girl next to me in class, etc. Still like that to some extent, though things have settled a bit now that I'm in my 30s.

I CAN RELATE! I've always (well since I was around 12) had an over-the-top sex drive that beat out that of any man I met. When I was dx'ed with Aspergers, and talked to my first few Aspies about it, most of them seemed to have LESS sex drive than average, which REALLY made me feel out of place. Oddly enough, though, the first partner I've ever had who can keep up with me, and actually manages to beat me to the punch in initiating, is my current boyfriend, who incidentally also has Aspergers (and whose symptoms are quite a bit more obvious than mine). A few Aspie friends I've met more recently seem to share my passion for all things below the waist, as well as BDSM, roleplaying, breathplay, etc, etc, and so on and so forth.
From what I've seen, though, despite my boyfriend having sex drive to spare, most of the Aspies I've met who are perpetually horny and sexually adventurous have been female.

I have an EXTREMELY strong sex drive and for many years since I broke up with my 1st gf almost 10 years ago I didnt have any regular sex partners
