Porn and Masturbation

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

I've never masturbated, have no reason too. As for the porn question, I too don't feel any physical attraction, but I do admire the effort it takes on the artist's part (I'm talking about only drawn porn by the way). Sometimes I'll just come across it on sites I browse (mostly Tumblr), and I don't really care. It doesn't gross me out or anything, I just see it as something I'm not interested in, but can admire from an artist's point of view. For example liking the art style or something.

Hopefully that made sense. But essentially I see drawn porn in the same way I see any other kind of drawing/painting/etc.

A thought came to mind. If we could enter into a fictional world (furries, Pokemon, etc), would the sense of excitement grow as in being able to see the fictional characters going at it? Or would that risk losing its appeal as we would create a reality based perspective upon experiencing the fantasy first hand?

I already thought about it and I came to the conclusion that it would indeed lose its appeal (for me, at least), as I like them only because I know they can't become real.

Thanks for your answer by the way, I think I understand now ^^

I have no interest whatsoever in watching porn. To me sex is one of those things that is fun to do but NOT fun to watch others do....when I see such depictions I actually get turned off rather than on. It varies from idle disinterest to repulsion, depending on what is going on. I can (and always have) masturbated just fine with help from my own fertile imagination. Sometimes I enhance that by doing my own erotic writings and then I re-read them right before I go to masturbate to get myself going, so to speak. That's about it.

I came to the same conclusion. Strange in a way

CN: sex talk, sexual entitlement

So basically my whole approach to sex/masturbation "pretend I'm someone else" and/or "it's not happening to me". Now there's usually no fear in those thoughts, though they can come around. I'm still trying to learn what triggers me, but sexual acts by themselves do not. Just, you know, if I'm with an allosexual who feels entitled to things (which has been all my relationships so far), then there's anxiety (validly). I thought for the longest time that my "kinks" were just me trying to cope with past trauma, but now I realize that's just the way I am. I'm very thankful for this thread/conversation, as I see I'm not alone.
