Is it normal that I have never masturbated, as a 24-year-old woman?

  • Ah, sorry i had that confused. I just assumed it's what you meant...to be honest, i don't know how it's "shortened" in english, i just couldn't find anything else with "AS" that would have made sense to me there. I totally didn't think of an illness...

    well, it IS an autism spectrum disorder, so that changes quite a bit, as that may well play into this then. I worked with kids with slight autistic disorders, and well, in some respects, your brain simply "ticks" different ^_^

    I see no reason why that shouldn't be the case in regard to this. While i maintain that any young lady will usually at least be curious enough about her own body to end up stimulating herself in some form(although quite possibly not to orgasm), maybe that curiosity was, for example, simply lacking in you, and what would have been an awakening sexuality with hornyness issues may well have been supressed in you and never surfaced.

    So in that case, i'd re-vote to blame AS for it :) Although i could not tell you if its normal in THAT case...i only have enough experience in cases not involving such factors :)

      • I know that there definitely are women with AS who masturbate, because I know a couple. I've read that people with AS are likely to either really enjoy sex and masturbation (because of hypersensitivity) or really dislike it (for the same reason). Do you feel like it might be sensory overload?

        • Maybe, because when I have sex I get really turned on - easily.
          But alone, I just don't like the idea.
