u/SmoothSensory24

For those who haven't seen my other recent posts, I am a late-diagnosed pansexual/bisexual autistic male, who enjoys wearing male thongs for sensory reasons. This sensory need also crosses over into a sexual "kink" (a very vanilla one), which I mirror onto others, i.e. I love wearing "sexy" underwear and love other people that also do. In what I believe is a natural extension of this sensory need is that I want/need everyone to keep their underwear/lingerie on for as long as possible during an intimate encounter. From a touch perspective, this allows for a stimulating array of fabrics to be available to brush against when exploring their bodies. From an aesthetic perspective, these garments often accentuate certain body parts, whilst "hiding" others, thus increasing sexual tension. I also love how some of these fabrics react to fluids, whether it be becoming transparent or slippery. For me, the pinnacle of this act is the eventual pulling aside of this thong for whatever flavour of penetrative act is on offer during that encounter. Is this just a me thing or is it a "kink/fetish" that other autistic people share?

One of the responses to an earlier post of mine has got me thinking about the dynamics of sexual power play, especially with regards to the autistic mind. In real life, I have to be in control of everything, otherwise I get easily triggered. That is one of my main autistic traits. Whereas for sex, I would probably categorise myself as sub. One of my long running fantasies has been about being used for pleasure by a confident M/F or M/M couple (but not in a degrading or painful way). I think it is the dynamics of the sexual power play in this situation that is the biggest turn-on factor rather than the act itself. Is this at odds with my controlling needs in real life or is it a logical counter-balance? In fact, am I actually still the one effectively in control in this situation? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and whether sexual power play is important to you.

I appreciate that not all autistic people have special interests. If you do have a special interest, is it sexual in nature? For me, I have a sensory needs to wear a certain type of underwear. This means that researching, buying, collecting and wearing these garments (predominantly thongs and Brazilian cut briefs made from various fabrics) is one of my slightly expensive special interests. What about you all?

Hi, I am a late diagnosed autistic male who prefers to groom/shave some of my body hair (armpits, groin and ass). I also prefer to wear tight, silky-feeling clothing, including men's thongs. I always believed that these were driven by sexual kinks, but have recently realised that they are largely underpinned by sensory needs, as I dislike the feeling of damp body hair and damp cotton against my skin. That said, I still get sexual pleasure from the smooth sensation that these measures afford me. I guess that also makes sense from an autistic point of view, as the removal of these sensory barriers/inhibitors allows for some kind of sensory euphoria (like slipping between clean bed sheets every night). These sensory needs/sexual kinks also strong influence the type of people that I am attracted to. Gender is unimportant to me, whereas people who mirror my aesthetic is a big turn on for me. I'm not normally big on labels, but apparently this makes me an "aesthetic-driven pansexual". With this new realisation, I wondered whether there were any other autistic people here who experience sensory/sexual crossover and whether mirroring forms a big part of their turn ons?
