Autism and Sensory Sex: Enjoying Sexual Pleasure by Connecting to Your Sensory Experience-Candice Christiansen

During this episode you will have an opportunity to hear Candice’s outstanding presentation from the 2025 Neurodiverse Love Conference.

Research over the past decade suggests that many Autistic adults seek sexual and romantic relationships similar to non-Autistic adults. However, there are still outdated stereotypes and beliefs that Autistic people are asexual and not interested in intimacy. In reality, Autistic adults have a wide spectrum of sexual experiences and behaviors, and are often less rigid when it comes to sexuality and gender fluidity than non-Autistic individuals. In this presentation Candice will discuss the emotional, energetic, physical, and sensory influences that often impact Autistic individuals’ ability to feel aroused, experience desire, and enjoy sex. She will offer tips and tools for identifying our emotional, energetic, physical and sensory needs in order to enjoy safe, consensual sensual and sexual pleasure.
