I think it is all of the former. I post these things here because I think people might understand the issues better than some other random forum. If you read the thread about polyamory and swingers, you'd probably know that I questioned why the polyamory community would support certain things...

It's a report alright. Automatically generated by software. It shows the highest correlations between items. Not so. Aspie Quiz has 100s (even 1000s) of links throughout the net, and I don't post links anywhere anymore since I don't need to. This sample happened to be drawn a few months ago...

FYI, explorative factor analysis places these traits on the same factor, and confirmative factor analysis supports it. Factor analysis is a valid method for associating traits, and it is the most common tool used for this purpose in psychology, so what you are claiming is that it is not valid...

While I didn't write it in the initial text, there is some other common background, but it's not important to the argument.

If some stranger comes up to me to talk I find that creepy.

In that case you don't understand correlation. The report clearly shows that these things are correlated, and thus are related to some extent. It doesn't say they have a causative route, but they are related. Sample size is a little above 3,000, largely randomly selected individuals from the...

That's actually wrong. BD/SM, role playing (like in this scenario) and polyamory are related. Evidence: http://www.rdos.net/eng/aspeval/je2/relje2.htm (for instance, study item 86 that relates to all of these things).

It's not. That's the best part of it all. Mutual interest is communicated non-verbally. The honesty of the communication is ascertained by putting down time and effort in trying to get together without planning it verbally. In fact, you know early that there is mutual interest, you just don't...

Besides, as I wrote in another thread, I don't form or maintain attachments with sexual intercourse, and I also don't form attachments by talking to possible partners. In all relationships I've been in so far (which includes my current marriage), I always formed attachments in similar ways as in...

I know, but which one is it in this particular case? Is the guy the stalker because he is going to some (in this case public) place? Is the girl a stalker because she is trying to walk in front of the guy? Uhm, couldn't the same be said about polyamory people? Isn't it also creepy to want to...

I have no idea about what you are talking about. In this scenario, it was clearly layed-out that this was an interaction between two people. It builds on a real case where both were 30+, so is not high-school either. Stalking typically requires that you know things about people, which you could...

Strongly disagree. It's attractive to me because you know the other part is putting time and effort into the game, which is contrary to the normal contact behavior that doesn't require anything.

Uhmm, no. Because both parties are seeking contact in a kind of shy way, and can at any time stop being part of the game.

The scenario is that a girl and a guy are interested in each other, but has no common ground for meeting and don't dare to contact each other. The guy might frequent some place he knows the girl might also frequent. The girl notices the guy, but don't dare to make direct contact. Instead she...

Bonobos also use non-reproductive sex in social bonding. In fact, humans is the only species that uses possibly reproductive sex in bonding. It's therefore perfectly possible this is a quite recent trait in human evolution that don't need to be a universal that applies to everybody. It is...

I'm unable to be much more specific at this point since the study of religion and neurodiversity is on peer-review. But I can tell that it is not about religious identity, but more about how people are religious / spiritual. The major issue linked to neurodiversity is to prefer to construct...

True, but they are not fixated on sexual intercourse, rather often have other types of sex. Also, Bonobos have regular mating periods, and does not have concealed estrus like humans, and thus males don't need to copulate all the time in order to reproduce.

Of course, but what I said is that sexual intercourse is not about attachment, but about reproduction. It's only in humans that sexual intercourse and attachment has been mixed-up in such a strange way. Not only that, but it has been combined with concealed estrus, which makes it impossible for...

Yes, but it is obvious that most people that identify as asexual do it because they also dislike sexual intercourse (there is a huge correlation between those things). However, asexual do not at all correlate with "unusual sexual preferences". I don't officially identify as asexual. I identify...
