| Hi, I am 34 and have never really been able to go through with any sort of physical intimacy before because everything felt robotic and alien to me. Like there was no instinct whatsoever. Well, I have a girlfriend now who is also on the spectrum and I really want to find a way of working around it a... |

| I've noticed there are basically two kinds of pole dancing. There's stripper pole dancing, which usually requires very little athletic ability, and then there's athletic pole dancing, which anyone in their right mind should consider a legitimate form of dance sport. So yeah, screw them. They're obvi... |

| I wish I knew. I go through the same things you just described. It's rough. But remember, you have people who understand you here. And we do what we can here to try to compensate for the fact that we're not understood elsewhere |

I'm originally from South Florida in the USA and now live in Pittsburgh, PA, at the other end of the country. I'm an asexual Aspie. My main hob... |

| Honestly? I don't. I'm 30 and a virgin and I'm going to stay that way. I'm asexual but not aromantic and I learned a long time ago that a compatible woman would be so rare to find that the search would only lead to me ending up with less than what I started with. I've dated numerous times in the pas... |

| I haven't had any illnesses that I can recall that affect my respiratory system (including a cold) since I quit smoking in October 2005. I have, however, been plagued with stomach problems and variations of the flu which lead to ear infections and throat problems. |

| I still feel like that after. That heat, it doesn't go away, and it drives me nuts. That's just your muscles telling you they've been worked. Nothing to worry about. It's gonna burn but that's normal pain. It's not even a pain. It's just a mild discomfort. But it doesn't go away. And I can't get to... |

When I physically exert myself, I feel a heat-like sensation coming from my muscles and joints that just drives me crazy and makes me want to punch something. Everyone feels like that when they exercise. Most people don't ... |

| I've always wanted to try surfing but I really don't do well in sunlight. Plus after growing up on the beach in South Florida I've grown to hate it. If there was a way to try it out indoors I would love to. =) |

And I've seen the youtube clips of pole dancers who do it competitively or treat it like a legitimate form of dance, doing moves that require strength and athleticism. They are two totally different things and I don't feel you should worry about anyo... |
