Nixeth Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 As the topic title would suggest, I'm genuinely confounded as to what to consider my orientation. Here's the deal. I don't want to have sex. It just doesn't appeal to me. Neither do other sexual acts(usually). I can look at porn and get aroused, though only if there is a female in it. However, I still do not, in those circumstances feel the need to insert myself into that female. I'm also aesthetically attracted to guys, though gay porn does not arouse me. To top it off, I'm aromantic(not certain how relevant that is, but I figured it was worth mentioning) Anyways, help a guy out here? -Nixeth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace_Kat Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Many asexuals don't want to have sex, but can still participate in the activities you are doing. It sounds like you are asexual, you can identify as that. You can be asexual and like to watch porn. You can always change your orientation in the future. You should identify however that makes you happy and comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
defeatedcreek Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Go with asexual for now. Most gay porn is two straight "gay-for-pay" guys. The sex on camera is about as arousing as gravel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sounds like asexual fits. Plenty of aces experience arousal, watch porn, and even masturbate - the thing is that asexuals don't want to actually have sex with other people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Member54880 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Welcome! Asexuality is about not being sexually attracted to anyone, or not having any intrinsic desire for sex with others. This is separate from behavior, and it's up to you to decide which label fits, but how you feel is consistent with how many asexuals who watch porn feel about it.
