Am I on the asexual spectrum at all?

I DO have sexual attraction to people’s images on social media, porn and I do enjoy masturbation. But, when that person is physically in front of me, even when naked, I have absolutely no interest in sex as well as 0 sexual attraction. I have never found a physical person sexually attractive. I only find the thought of sex as well as images of people online to be attractive.

 

as an example, I masturbate to images and sexually fantasize about a close friend. However, when they are physically present in front of me, I have no sexual attraction or interest. Some have initiated, and I feel nothing when it is in real life and would never ever want to have sex with them.

 

help me label myself. If not, what am I closest to?

It sounds like you experience attraction to a visual ideal? And have not experienced attraction to anyone you've met in person. 

 

Also, welcome to Aven. :cake:  I hope you find some of the threads on here helpful for answering your question. I know I've found them immensely helpful.

Even if someone looks identical to the photo, I am not attracted to them when they are in person. However, that picture is sexually attractive.

It's pretty interesting when you think about it, yeah? =] Brains are weird.

Well, even though I can’t relate to how you feel, I can try to help you out. Try researching some asexual spectrum identities. One that I’ve heard of that might be similar to how you feel is aegosexual/autochorrisexual. Also try autosexual. But, if those don’t really relate to you, just keep doing research. It’s the most important thing to do when trying to figure out your sexuality, especially if it’s a sexuality that isn’t very known to most people.
