So I know that despite the classic portrayal of an autist being someone who is asexual, many of us are at the opposite end of the scale. Yet if you search for Lemmy communities, there are several for asexual folk and none for hypersexual folk. Is there any good resources for us to rant/support each other/talk about our struggles? If it were specifically for neurodivergent folk, that would be a great bonus.

    In my case at least, an unmanageable sex drive. As in if I could spend all day every day having sex, I would only stop to replenish my electrolytes or pass out from exhaustion.

      Yeah, that’s definitely different from my experience, mine’s more of a “get obsessed with a specific kink and see how far down the rabbit hole for it can go, rinse+repeat” thing. My actual sex life is pretty mundane, I have a stable relationship and we get it on a couple times a week, work schedules permitting.

      Maybe it would help to involve other people if you can find them and your SO is open to it, although talking about sexual topics is pretty different from engaging in sexual acts. Mine isn’t really into the same stuff I am from a fantasy perspective, so I have some specific friends that I go to for those topics.

        Unicorns are hard to come by, but she has mentioned it a few times. Difficulty with that is it’s hard to schedule a 4 hour depravity session around the constraints of having a full time job and also more than the average number of children (yes it turns out there are consequences).
