That wasn’t supposed to be offensive “bro”. perhaps if you read it you’d see its not a “sign of autism” per se, but of neuro-atypicality. You could have read this and gone “wow, I DO sleep like that, maybe I should look into this” or “No not quite like that” but sure, you go to with the “Random internet stranger called me autistic” response.
If you have a guy in your life that you are intimate with, try it out. Hang out on the couch cuddled up to him and give the boys a hand cuddle. You can also do him a favor and check for lumps while you are there.
My dogs jump on my balls when we get in bed at night. So I cover when laying down in bed. Habit of many years now I’m sure even when I don’t have dogs I’ll still do it for no rational reason

Finally someone else who sleeps hugging a pillow.
I have a pillow both to the left of me and the right so I always have one to grab when I turn over.

I can not answer why, but I’ve been told I do it too.
And wake up holding my junk a lot of the time.
A lot of the times it’s definitely to reposition balls.
So sometimes not because it’s comfortable per se (and it is), but because doing it avoids possible discomfort, I guess.
Also, morning wood. What’s that about? What’s the benefit of getting an erection when we wake up? O.o
When we sleep our body releases hormones that encourages blood flow in our body. Better blood flow means boner.

Yeah this is an answer I’ve heard, but it’s sort of generalised.
I’d like a every detailed medical explanation on why it happens specifically when waking up.

This has never made sense to me; a full bladder doesn’t give you an erection when you’re not asleep.

I’ve never even heard of this before. My hands are typically near my head/shoulders when I wake up.
Sounds like you sleep with Dinosaur hands

“Hey this guy doesn’t sleep with his hands on his dick, let’s call him autistic” very nuanced bro

I’ve never consciously done this, but I have woken up many times in such a position so, I have no idea it must be some instinctual comfort position
Don’t think I sleep so, but do it after waking up for sure,
As to why - no idea.
A man of class.
It’s definitely comfy 😂
Yeah, it’s just secure and comfortable.
Balls aren’t directly sexual, but holding onto them can be like rubbing your eyes, just kind of non-specifically pleasant.

You assume I sleep with pants on to put my hands down.
Naked and fancy-free’s the way to be!
Using your belt/waistband is a comfortable and good way of stopping your arms dangling and flopping around while you relax/sleep.
