Storming out because you didn't do something he expected you to do (without saying so) then saying he's going to get sex from someone else is just a stupid and rotten thing to do.
Oh no, the text about getting a whore was not serious. I actually have brought that up from time to time, in a joking way, because it seems like he just wants way too much in the bedroom than what I'm willing to give. But in all actuality, I have told him that I am completely okay with him watching porn or doing whatever he needs to do if he can't get what he thinks he needs from me all the time.
When we first started dating, he was all like, "I said I wouldn't look at porn ever again once I got a girlfriend." I told him that that was completely absurd and that I have no problem with him watching stuff like that if he needs to. I certainly don't understand it, but if it provides an outlet for him, then that's totally cool.
I really think that the problem is that he is trying to change me to be everything that he wants in a girl, all the time. And I just can't be that person. You have to compromise, and I'm trying to get him to see that. I think that I have made sacrifices for him, but sometimes it seems like he just demands more and more and isn't happy with what I've already given.
He was single for a long time after the last girl broke up with him, and he tells me all the time that he never wants to be single again. I think he's trying to get everything he wants from me, but won't try to find someone who can maybe provide it a little bit better, because he just doesn't want to be single.
Sometimes you need to draw/lay down the line. If he doesn't want to be single again, he better treat you with more respect. Why us guys are dicks are beyond me. I know we have them, but still. Your boyfriend should be more like me and never, EVER take a relationship for granted. I never take a relationship for granted and yet I still get effed over.
Has anyone read this book? Is it accurate? If so, maybe you should gift him a copy.

Thanks everyone. I have told him before that he needed to be more direct with me when he wanted sex. But usually he says stuff like, "Well, most people just know that that's what that means." I've been getting a lot of comments like that from him recently, most girls do this, most girls like this, etc, etc
You are NOT like most people or most women & it is extremely ignorant of him to expect you to be. He should date someone who is instead of comparing you to most every other girl. I think lots of NTs are incapable of grasping that they need to be direct with Aspies because we have problems understanding otherwise. Not being direct enough is a major incompatibility & add to that him having a much higher sex drive than you & him wanting you to respond in a certain way; you guys are incompatible
