In my opinion, yes. Your eyes/mind/attention are drawn toward these people (literally the definition of attraction) in what's clearly a sexual manner and it's evoking a sexual response. I don't see how this can possibly be anything but sexual attraction. However, it still doesn't necessarily translate to actually wanting sex with the person though, which is why I don't find "sexual attraction" alone to be the greatest determining factor of one's orientation. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for someone who doesn't actually ever want sex to have to identify as a sexual person

Hi 👋 I wish I could start this on a calmer note, so before I start: Hello, I hope you're having a nice day, and if not here's a little 🎁 of niceness coming your way 🫴💨 Unfortunatly that will have to be it for the calmness for now, because I am feeling a little bit crazy. I hope it's okay I voice that here. I have always, read a lot or watched movies or TV-shows. Just generally consumed stories. I am fairly sure I am aroace, and growing up those stories were stories. Romance and attraction felt just as fictional as fantasy in a sense, or at the very least som

It's been raining so much that we've had "record high tides" 😋😋 And yes, I know this is most likely because of climate change and ice cap melting

I'll agree with @Pack-rat here. Sexual attraction involves a desire to engage in partnered activities. Watching porn, using toys etc as an aid to masturbation and dealing with your own libido is totally independent.

And this is another example of why I prefer defining asexuality in terms of "lack of sexual desire", "lack of an inner need for sex". "Sexual attraction" is confusing. It can mean a lot of different things to different people. It may be confused with esthetic attraction, romantic attraction, libido, arousal... It may make some people feel like they "don't qualify" as asexual. Even more than that: actually, I still haven't found the right phrasing for that, many users disagree with me (because they consider - like @Pack-rat above - all sexual feelings which don't include even potential sexual d

Thanks for your response. I remember reading somewhere that things like porn that are sexual in nature can be arousing but can also not be related to sexual attraction. I was mostly just worried because of the fact that these weren’t videos but (faceless) pictures of singular people. It’s reassuring though to hear this though. Thank you

It doesn’t sound like sexual attraction to me. Like you said, you didn’t feel the urge to become sexual with someone. Many Aces masturbate and it doesn’t mean anything, nor does it take away their aceness.

Hi and welcome to AVEN.🍰

I identify as a grayace lesbian and I have a very important question. Is it sexual attraction if I like to masturbate to pornographic pictures? They don’t usually included faces but I’m extremely worried that this means I’m not ace and the entire time I’ve identified with it I wasn’t because of this alone. I don’t think I’ve ever had sexual attraction to someone in real life (maybe once I’m not sure) but the only other like two times were celebrities. I know that I can feel sexual attraction to women but I don’t get it very frequently as I’ve stated. I don’t think it is because of

I have read too - although these were things written in a more culture-oriented, not biology-oriented way (for example Jacques Lacan), that sex is an inherently disgusting process, and only love and attraction make it into something bearable or even appealing. And to me too, my first childhood reaction, when I learned how does sex work, was one of disgust (and reinforcing my already made decision not to have children... or rather a relief: so I finally knew what exactly I shouldn't do if I don't want to get pregnant... and I instinctively thought: oh, avoiding that is no problem). So yes, for

With an actor from the movie...the majority of my favourite movies are animated, so the only actors are the voice actors. I would probably fangirl over the va throughout the movie though...oops. Would you rather be forced to sing or dance along to every single song that you hear?
