No they're not. Women in the real world are real.

With your reasoning, it'd be pointless for me to make friends because I'd find it way easier to get 'virtual' friends by watching movies that have people who are friends with each other in it.

If I had been nt, I would have had a good job, a wife and two or three kids by now. Instead, I have to enjoy beautiful women sky high on drugs perform sex. But I still prefer that to the women I would be able to get in the real world.

Yep, I'm asexual, or very close to it. Never had any sex drive. I'm also a member of AVEN (www.asexuality.org) and it seems like a large percentage of the people there are on the autistic spectrum somewhere.


Having no sex drive cannot meen your asexual. Does being Asexual mean that you never need to find someone spacial. I wish that I was asexual :(

Dude if you keep looking at the stuff your hormones will be less active so stop lookin at the spacewomen and go on to a find-a-girl-site geez...............

When calling them better I mean that they are only pictures, not women who talk and think.

Lonermutant,

Something you said about women bullies struck a chord with me. Guy bullies would just stomp you or trying to shove your head into a trashcan - and taking blows is not that hard for me. Just go limp and take the blows. But women bullies would try to humiliate me in a much more deeper, incisive fashion.

A great problem with me and girls is that, whenever a woman appears interested in me, there's still this voice inside of me saying: "She's not interested in you. She's just teasing you and she'll humiliate you if you expose yourself. She probably made a bet with her friends." This was, and still is, very difficult for me to step over. Because sometimes, when a girl is interested (and remains interested after me "discussing" whatever happens to catch my interest at that time) - it means just that.

I've considered that I'm asexual, even told people that I was a couple of times....

The more I think about it though, the more I believe that asexuality has nothing to do with it, it just comes down to the fact that my body is interested in sex but my minds not. My body is hetero, my mind is just bored of the whole waste of time.

Sorta reminds me of that song by bob marley, satisfy my soul, thats what I need. Sex questions are just meaningless nonsense otherwise.

I totally agree with the asexuality, and then when I care for someone I do not care about sex, I also do not care if they are male or female I just want to be close to them but not physically, but I find it a more perfect love.

I consider this board to be my life partner. In fact, I'm thinking of popping the question.

"Will you download me?"

I researched asexuality in Aspie-quiz version II. It turned out that it is most related to the social problems group and the nonverbal communication problem group. It has almost no correlation to other sexual preferences. That's why I dropped this question.

It would take a lot of persuading to make me think that asexuality is not a problem based in poor relationship-skills.

Certainly, it is more common on the autism-spectrum, but that is only because Aspies usually have poor relationship skills with the majority NT-population.

A lot of people with poor relationship skills still desire sex; asexuals don't desire sex at all. Is it so hard to believe that sexual desire is a spectrum and some people naturally have less of it than others?

But you're not claiming to be "on the spectrum;" you say you're pitch-black, absolute-zero sex when you claim to be asexual.
