Just checkin' in... It's been a while since I've been here. I know a number of folk have wandered over to AVEN. Who's still over there?

You've made some very good points about autosexuality and I do know of some asexuals who identify as such. As I was explaining to Daddy Fred, I periodically scratch my own itch, but not for wanting to pleasure myself. Rather, it's pretty much 'maintenance', relieving a few mechanical pressures that otherwise make things down there fidgetier than average. I'm not sure if I would describe that as autosexual. Interestingly, the Urban Dictionary focuses on this subject from a very sexual viewpoint (satisfying one's own sexual needs).

Cool! How are you finding it?

They don't do much in the way of fetish talke (though there are some discussions), but there's a number of very active communities revolving around gender fluidity (trans, androgyny, etc.).

On giving it another read, I agree. There are many asexuals out there who could identify as autosexuals. Myself, I scratch my own itch now and then, but its only really to relieve the build up of excess pressure that causes my bladder to be fidgetier than average. I'm not sure I'd really describe that as 'autosexual': I'm not even really doing for my own enjoyment. Nope. As for hormones, I do agree they play a huge role in most sex drives, but, frankly, I have next to nothing for such despite having all the right hormones, so, clearly, something else plays a critical role, too.

Have you ventured over to AVEN at all? There's a lot of folk over there who are very open minded and accepting of a lot of things. For example, I explained to my current girlfriend (who I met through AVEN) about my issues with my bladder and my occasional diaper wearing. She had no issue with that at all.

Congratulations on owning your first home!

Kewl! I wish there were more, though. Still, it's kind of interesting that the ace community in general doesn't seem to be all that judgmental about diaper wearing. I've notice a few come out of the closet (diaper bag?) on AVEN without any untoward comments.

I wish I could make it out to that, to support whatever asexual contingent may be there, but, alas, I'm still in the process of obtaining wheels.

So is there anyone else from here that is also on Fetlife?

This is a very insightful thread, thanks!

I'm pleased to see this question asked, as well. After reading a number of descriptions where Littles describe how much they enjoy being held and comforted by a Daddy, I find myself wanting to be the person providing those comforting arms. (Of course, perhaps this just appeals to me as I'm a very physically affectionate person.)

I've been noticing more diaper wearing aces at Fetlife. Neat!

I hope so, too.

Well, it could be a matter of physiology, though if you were capable of arousal, it would seem to me that you would be capable of feeling sexual attraction (i.e. desiring sex with another person). Of course, that's just my opinion; please feel free to take that with a grain of salt.

Hmmm... So are you actually wanting to have sex, but just don't enjoy it? My impression of asexuality is that it's more like an orientation; case in point, I'm fully operational and engage in a bit of ummm... 'self-lovin' every few days, but I've no interest in pursuing sex with anyone else. Doing it just to please my partners has become a f*cking chore, literally. It took me a while to figure out that it wasn't about me having the misfortune of continually forming relationships with women who possessed the sex drive of a jack rabbit, it was me who had the <I>reduced</I> interest in sex. I recall watching a video on youtube by another ace who explained it something like this: asexuality is just an endpoint on an axis of sexual interest, with sexual addiction at the other end. Just as you can have people who are a lot MORE interested in sex than average, you can also have people who are a lot LESS interested. I rather like that explanation.

Naw, you weren't short at all. I simply realized that I was being somewhat unthinking, even if albeit unintentionally.

Okay, fair enough; my apologies for presuming. I hope you're able to one day satiate that curiosity.

Eh, it's not all that it's cracked up to be. You're not missing much.

There are a number of asexuals who would apply the term 'autosexual' to themselves. There are also others who, though they may not 'scratch their itch' that often, can generally only do so by themselves. Frankly, only my trusty handmaiden, Lefty, is the only one who get me off reliably.

Actually, it'd be more like friction burns.

They don't do that in the asexual discussion.

I generally find fairly easy to ignore the ads.

Hey all, as there really isn't much conversation to be had here for asexuals, I'm spending more of my time at Fetlife.com. You will find me there under the username 'justanotheroddity'. Also, I've noticed a couple folk at AVEN (www.asexuality.org/en) who have come out as diaper lovers. (I'm not one of them, though.)

Ya know, there just isn't enough pampered aces around...
