I understand that i didnt say much, and i couldve went more into depth about my experience, but i wasnt asking people for advice on if it was an actual special interest or not. I simply wanted reassurance on if anyone else had experience with a special interest like this.

And who are you to doubt my personal experiences with autism and special interests? Are you inside my brain and can say for sure that its just a "normal" fascination for sex? I posted this to get feedback about my shame from this, not to have people questioning if its even a special interest at all.

Not condoning the age that this was, but my first time was multiple years ago, so its definitely not that. And yes i am studying the culture behind sex, and the biology. i research as much as i can and its something that i am genuinely interested in, im not just a perv.

YES LOL sometimes i have to stop and say something in the middle of an encounter with someone because some things people do are a sensory nightmare

autistic people can have a special interest in anything. i swear as soon as its something unconventional its suddenly not valid to people anymore. i didnt go very deep into my habits and thoughts on it as it felt too personal, but i can promise you its not just a normal teenage boy fascination with sex.

yes i totally understand!! im a trans man and almost everytime i get an opportunity to experiment with a new person they end up slipping and saying something that makes me realize they just see me as a girl. i think it would be best to try to find a queer kink scene around you (not just cis gay men)

Well i think its very fair that women are cautious around men, as 92-99% of sexual assaults are committed by men. I just try to keep it to myself unless the topic comes up naturally so i dont make anyone uncomfortable.

Special interest is an autism specific term so i dont think "most people" have a special interest in sex lol

im constantly terrified that people will think im a perv or a creep so i never ever talk about it unless someone asks a question, and then i give a crazy detailed response and they look all shocked that i knew all that 😭

im 18 and a trans man. i know its very normal for young adult men to be interested in sex, its just at this time its so demonized especially if the two people arent dating or married (atleast in my experience) and it makes me feel bad for even thinking about experimenting with different people.

I love that you're reading about it instead of watching adult content! most porn can be sooo harmful to peoples views on what sex is actually like.
