| I guess I just need to get over the idea that "mainstream isn't for me" equals "hopeless." Much of my life, I was told that those kind of people who will actually communicate with me verbally (or make the first move which I have responded to physically, albeit cautiously) don't e... |

| ^ AWESOME! I really need to change my signature, by the way. I think my "Asperger score" is low, since I've moved in that direction since I was on Wrong Planet frequently quite a bit ago. In fact, it did strike me as low at the time of taking the test, but it was close enough for me to ass... |

| From the article above. 18% of women and 15% of men said yes, that they would want someone to Ask before a first kiss. 64% of women and 65% of men said No. Many thought being asked would ruin the mood,or that Asking was undesirable/undesired. 18% of women and 20% of men gave an answer indicating th... |

If I were her I would be more than appreciated if you tell me everything about your touch issues due to AS. I guess she would be as well. She would have n... |

| Usually, she will give you very obvious signs, but if you are the worst man at reading body language then just lean slowly toward her, if she closes her eyes and pouts her lips then it's positive; if she leans back or/and turns her lips away then it's negative. Well I don't think you would need &qu... |

| No. Just no. I would absolutely have to have that conversation in advance AT THE VERY LEAST - something to ASCERTAIN that such a move in the future would be welcome. Advance conversation on the matter can keep the spontaneity while still ascertaining consent. But to just kiss, no conversation about ... |

| "Post while drunk." This inspired me to crack open another beer to become "legally drunk" (yes, I'm that much of a nerd about it.) This is 0.08% in all 50 U.S. states I believe, for driving. Personally, I don't drive above half of this limit. This also fits with studies showing t... |

| I would say the way he intensely pressured and guilt-tripped you into the act constitutes rape (in spirit at least) regardless of age, positions of authority, blood alcohol level or other factors. I really think rape needs to be defined more broadly than requiring violence. It was definitely, defini... |

| I play golf in real life on occasion, and I'm also playing Mario Golf: World Tour for the 3DS. I love the tournaments. Particularly the "majors" you qualify for by placing in regular world tournaments, four times a year just like real golf majors! These have you string 18 holes together to... |

I've been intensely into those games a while and I'm very good at them (able to 5-star all but the hardest Expert charts in GH, compete with the hi... |

| Honestly, I think that if someone says, "You killed the mood by asking," they must not have been too into you to begin with. Personally, I have never been in a situation with a guy where that was a problem, but I can recall a few situations when I was younger where a guy I was with either... |

| Quite frankly, that sentiment is creepy and rapey to me. It is a direct assault on CONSENT ITSELF. And consent is not just for sexual intercourse, or making out, or "sexual" touch. I believe it applies to ANY AND ALL TOUCH - some people really are that sensitive and don't want to be touche... |

| One common mistake people make, even on Wrong Planet, is to "stereotype" autism and project personal experience onto everyone on WP, or on the Autism label. But it's called a "spectrum" for a reason. People can have some, but not all, "autistic" traits and to varying de... |

| I've been trying to figure that out, myself! I believe people are on a "spectrum" in how they like to communicate, ranging from pure body language to confirming everything verbally using whatever defined set of "rules" the parties involved come up with! Communication won't look t... |

| It's sad really, the bar scene seems to be centered around date rape, or at least that's how popular culture seems to portray it. It's an extremely common thing for guys to get girls drunk so that they can have sex with them, and I think it's wrong. Now, the inverse, getting yourself drunk so that ... |
