We’re an autistic couple. Both of us struggle with intense sensory stimuli, which is making oral sex difficult to give to each other.
Are their any tips on making this easier? We can just try things out and see what works

Well, nothing very groundbreaking, honestly. Her preference is most any kind of contact with labia (she finds they’re not as sensitive), which would mostly include licking (mostly midline, from introitus towards clitoris) or lip to lip, like you’re kissing the labia like a mouth.
For direct clitoral simulation she prefers very gentle kissing of it, and eventually gentle licking (either flicking or circular around it) or sucking.
But again, the pace, intensity, pattern is very individual.
I might suggest just looking up oral sex guides and then seeing if any parts of them work for you.
Ahh, no our issues are not that way. The smell, taste, texture, etc can be overwhelming. For both of us this makes giving oral difficult
I’m assuming mixed gender but if not just take the relevant bits.
If it’s a smell and taste thing I have a few tips.
First hygiene. For a guy make sure you wash with soap and water and if uncircumcised pull the foreskin back and rinse. For a lady get a good rinse. Spread the outer labia enough to get a decent rinse.
Next even if you are in relationship where you are comfortable with unprotected sex unlubricated condoms and dental dams can help reduce taste and smell. You can even add flavors you like to the side in contact with the mouth.
Third don’t push your self to hard to handle sensory stuff you dislike. Better to stop early before you have a big negative reaction then push through and develop extreme negative feelings.
Thank you! And I’ll get a package of both of those!
You’re right, pushing ourselves makes it worse
Ah I see. I wouldn’t have any recommendations for addressing smell - one shouldn’t try to change the smell or taste of a vagina, in particular.
For taste alone, if you’ve bathed before, the clitoris and penis shouldn’t taste much different than any other skin - but maybe you find mouth kissing difficult too? I’m not sure from your original post.
Texture again, shouldn’t be too different from other parts of the body, but if you find all of it overwhelming it may just not be very accessible.
Similar to learning what your partner finds enjoyable, over time you might find the pleasurable aspects override the overstimulation. But, my training isn’t specific to autism, so you could certainly correct me if you don’t find that’s true for yourself.
Good cleaning does help a lot! And we do.
Overstimulation is not something we can override though, it’s disabling. Sometimes worth the discomfort though
