I am a 20 year old and naturally, having many 20 year old friends, occasionally talk about or do things that may be considered rude or conttoversial. Now, I am one of those Aspies who is actually able to come across to NTs as completely "normal" because I do not act or appear socially awkward and am usually very outspoken and confident acting even though I dont actually feel that way. I will talk about anything because I hate passiveness byt the one thing that makes me very uncomfortable is when my bddies start talking and joking about sex.

For some reason, sex has slways been somewhat of a taboo subject for me in terms of openly discussing intimate, personal sexual details with random people. I'm not insecure about my sexuality but I just dont like when people try to talk to me about it, its just way too personal to me for some reason and I feel like people talk about it way too openly with others... Thoughts on how to deflect sexual questions and conversations?? And is it normal for me to feel this way?

Just joke right back, "I don't talk about my sex life - that's between me and my hand".

I can't follow sexual conversations very well, so my friends like to jokingly take advantage of my naivety. :x :x :x
