    Hey now! I may be autistic but I assure you I don’t ever forget sex exists and im horny like 90~95% of the time, but I am completely oblivious to flirting or interesting shown so that doesn’t get mitigated as much as I’d like

    Well yeah, little bit of that too. That’s what probably makes it more confusing.

      Probably because the identities we circle back to often have merit even if we don’t like it (the number of years I kept finding stupid arguments that I wasn’t trans…)

      It sounds like you dislike this about yourself. You could check to see if there’s a medical issue causing extremely low libido. But fair warning, it may just result in you being horny and not finding anyone attractive.

        Yes i kinda dislike it as it is a source of problems and just accepting it wouldn’t really solve any issues.

        Sadly I’ve been trying to fix it for years, problems probably started or at least become noticable over a decade ago. By now i have already exhausted approved medical and physical means in trying to fix it, even started replacement therapy eventually as test levels were on the low end even despite doing as much as possible to boost those.

        While it has had rather good outcome on overall physical and mental health, it hasn’t had any effect on libido.

        Haven’t yet delved into balck market or anabolic steroids territory, yet and of course therapy is still left, but that’s rather expensive and social stigma is kinda strong on that subject. Especially for a guy who seemingly shouldn’t have any issues regarding it.

  Pretty sure that’s demi.

  • Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Others are saying grey or ace. Why demi then?

    • atomicorange@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I may have gotten my terms mixed up, but I think demi is reactive sexuality, someone who gets turned on by their partner getting turned on. Requires a bond / connection. Not really interested without it.

      I’m not super familiar with terms on that ace spectrum though. It’s somewhere on there.

        Fair, reactively getting turned on kinda fits under outside influence part. Though cant tell anything about the bond/connection aspect, as thats way too vague and complicated for me.

        It’s not reactive, it means that attraction is conditional on an emotional bond existing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demisexuality
