Has anyone else had issues with sex and sexual things due to sensory issues? I had sex for the first time and it was way too overwhelming.

Yes took me at least ten times to get comfy. I waited for oral for two years

YES. I struggle to give head (thankfully my gf doesn’t usually like receiving). Sometimes the feeling of being fingered just icks me out and puts me out of the mood completely. I also feel like I need more mental stimulation to keep my mind on track (although that’s probably ADHD and not autism). If I feel a bad texture I often have to stop for a few minutes.

Yup!! But there are a lot of ways to accommodate!! For an example, I don’t give head without a condom/barrier. I say that it’s about STDs with people that I’m not comfortable telling about my autism, because you can still get STDs through oral sex. But in reality it’s about how much of a sensory nightmare come is. I also use latex gloves whenever I’m fingering a partner. Not only do they help with sensory and germ stuff, but they make me feel super fashionable and cunty ;)

Sex can be a little overwhelming for me at times, certain textures at the wrong time can make me uncomfortable but for the most part it’s ok

Yeah I can’t have music on during sex or else it’s just too much. I also gag uncontrollably if water based lube touches my hands and also sometimes go nonverbal during/after sex. It’s a very sensitive and intense sensory experience so ofc you’re gonna get a bit overstimulated.

Like giving head. It took me awhile to attempt and to actually want to do it. Once my hubs starts leaking I stop. The texture of cum bothers me. Getting oral I enjoy but the sounds bother me a lot.

I will say, though, latex gear can be really expensive. I was able to get my pair of gloves for 50$ online, but it took A LOT of research to find a pair that cheap. Also vanilla people may not understand the appeal of latex, so unless you’re willing to have the autism conversation, that is something to keep in mind.

Oh also-dental dams help me on the rare occasion I do give head. I imagine condoms might be good too, but my partner doesn’t have that anatomy so idk.

It’s a sensory nightmare to receive oral for me. I hate the wet feel and most times I’m not that sensitive. Giving is more fun in my opinion and it’s easier to do
