It's common among inexperienced males to get overly excited at female attention.
It's also common for men in general to assume that every woman who talks to them wants to have sex with them.
Though I won't argue the truth on that in some cases it's not relevant to this situation.Your making a lot of assumptions here, and that might be my own lack of clarity in writing.
Intrusive thoughts do not represent actual conscious feeling, this is why they are so repulsive to those experiencing them. They can be sexual sure. Intrusive thoughts can also be extreamly violent, or just weird. As an Ace I really do not like sexual thoughts and the conscious part of my brain whould much prefer focusing on work or food.
We all do this to varying degrees. We can have fantasies about driving certian politicians into a slow chipper but that doesn't mean I actually want to harm people. Maybe you want to beat a man to death for cutting you off in traffic. I'd be much happier if my mind didn't go to such places but it does, in a more functional awake state the idea churns my stomach.
I do wonder if being autistic means we are just more in touch with, and more repulsed by, our Intrusive thoughts.
Also there is no females involved, I've never had intrest in men on any level but Intrusive thoughts don't really work in sensible way.
