Question:
lack of interest and find sex boring

Answer:
by Melissa BEE:
()
Hi, Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon for adults with autism to either have a very high and seeming 'hard-to-control' libido, or one that is almost non-existent. It is also common for men with autism to find a happy medium sexually. There is no easy answer for libido, but really getting in tune with your emotions and learning and enjoying more of the "emotional connection" is what makes sex incredibly pleasureable for many people. It could also be that you are not trying to get to know a wide range of people, and are not being stimulated (aroused) by people that are new, different and exciting. Best Wishes, Melissa BEE
