Context: I'm not neurotypical, I'm not quite sure what exactly I have, but the general agreement by everyone involved is autism, still getting tested (hard to do in a pandemic). One of my "quirks", is an intense fixation on privacy. I don't want to get dressed in front of someone else (I always slinked away in the corner when getting changed for P.E in school), my phone is MY phone, I simply refuse to let someone Google anything on this, and borrowing for a phone call is a big no unless I'm supervising. The biggest, BIGGEST thing though, is showering.
I love having showers (I despise baths), but this isn't something I ever intend to share with anyone else, regardless of how close they are to me. Sex? Sure, I'll be fine with that, I'll probably want to do it often, but I cannot ever consider showering with another person, whether it's sexual or not. I'm not ashamed of my body, nor will I ever be ashamed of the body of the woman I love and care about, this isn't a "shame" or "embarrassing" thing, I just find it immensely uncomfortable.
Is this going to hurt my chances at a relationship significantly? Do women really care that much, or am I overly worried for no real reason?
Sorry, I know this was lengthy, but I felt the need to stress that I'm not a shallow guy, and I have a positive body image of myself, I especially love my hair, something I've been ridiculed for a few times (it's seen as feminine by those people, I beg to differ).
