I'm an 18 year old woman with Asperger's Syndrome and a survivor of sexual assault when I was young (8).
I've never been in love. I've never seen anyone, male or female, who I thought was attractive. Not that I think everyone is ugly - I don't think anyone is ugly, just like I don't think anyone is pretty. Faces are just faces, what's ugly or pretty or attractive about it? I mean, it's just a face. I think sex is for dirty old men and for people who want kids. I've never masturbated. I don't understand attractiveness - if I read about someone thinking x has a great bum, I think 'what's so attractive about a bum?' I sort of get why men would be attracted to breasts - it's a sign someone is (getting) ready to bear children, so it's biologically explainable - but a bum? Or legs? Or ..? Am I just asexual? Am I too young (I read somewhere people with an autism spectrum disorder tend to start puberty late)? Does it have to do with the trauma? Am I weird? |

I used to be like you until age 18 and now I want sex badly and haven't found it yet. I'm planning on it soon if I can but I am an obsessive masturbator. I am bi.

No, you're not weird. But, the trauma may have affected you. I'm a sexual trauma survivor and I know the trauma has affected me. Just remember, you're not weird. We are all different....some people are very sexual, others are not. Its ok to be you. Just don't try to force yourself to be something you're not.

I agree with ChipperMonkey; you're not weird. You are you and like ChipperMonkey said, some people are sexual and others aren't. It does sound like you really need to talk through what happened to your regarding the assault, but there's nothing wrong with you.
As the song says, you're perfect how you are. __________________ Helping to create a kinder, gentler world by flinging poo. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
