Am i still considered asexual if...........

[precycherry_03]

Am i still considered asexual if I am still very into sexual things  such as masturbation; watching all kinds of porn and getting turned on by them, having fetishes BUT when it comes to real life, I have no feelings or inclination of whatsoever to do it with someone (both sexes). It's like I like watching and getting turned on by porn and fetishes (sexual feelings) but I don't want to have a part of it (asexual feelings)

 

These dichotomy of feelings inside me just made me feel confused about myself, that's all.....so am i sexual or asexual or mid?

Sexuality is about the things that you want to do with real people around you, not about fantasies.

You can still be asexual if you watch porn, masturbate or have fetishes.

As someone who's favorite form of media is often 18+: Yes, yes you can. Asexuality doesn't have to do with what turns you on or kinks as long as you're not sexually attracted to anyone (or desire them sexually, fun definitions).

not only is asexuality often at odds with libido, there is in fact no asexuality police who can arrest you if you are 'asexuling wrong'.

I get this too. I can get turned on by material I watch or read (if you've seen Japanese manga and animè you know what I'm talking about) and movies and stuff 

 

But put me in those situation with a man and I don't want it. The last couple times I had relations with a guy I ended up hating it. It just felt really awkward and uncomfortable. That and sex scares me. When you listen to stories about people experience sexual abuse and such it makes me wonder how something that's supposed to be so intimate and sensual can bring two people together yet can be used as the worst kind of weapon against someone at the same time.
