Someone Else Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 They say that if it exists, there's porn of it. Supposedly we can find anything, if we google well enough. But I may have found the exception. I think there's no porn, no serious romance novels or movies specifically for romantic asexuals, or asexuals that can appreciate physical beauty, sensuality, making out, but stop short of sex. It'd be interesting to see the romantic story of a sensual asexual, and not just an "I like to imagine this character is asexual." Normally I don't care much for "rom-coms" but one about an asexual going through the trials and dating while looking for long term romance and sensuality but not sex... I think there's a story there.

Alejandrogynous Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Could you really consider that porn then? I don't need my romance stories to be sans sex so I can't say I've ever noticed something like that existing or not existing, but I can imagine the appeal for romantic aces. I'm not sure that really applies to Rule 34 though if there's no sexual element at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I mean I’ve come across asexual x sexual, and asexual x demisexual stuff before now. Not very well written stuff, but they tried and actually considered the asexual’s POV. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hmm, hmmmmmm... It's not a very good porn is it now? LOL. It could be a great romance story but it's hardly a good porn I think. I don't have experience but. YEah. Doesn't sound very ... engaged/excited/perhaps even consensual? to me. As a romance however I think that'd work wonderfully well. Link to post Share on other sites
ashpenaz Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I watch porn without getting aroused. I'm not sure why I can find someone physically attractive and not sexually attractive. I like to watch men enjoying their sexuality. They seem so happy! I always figured I'd be a great porn cameraman. Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Unfortunately, the old cliché, sex sells. Most of the market would be disappointed if a work went through the dating, relationship, depicting beauty, sensuality etc without any bonky-bonky as a climax (😋😋) Link to post Share on other sites
Janus the Fox Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yeah searching anything with Rule 34 or sites like e621 yep there’s porn. But not entirely all of it if you’re able to view 99% of it all to find something much more Asexual. Link to post Share on other sites

I figure people must buy it otherwise people wouldn't sell it. ... But isn't that literally "romance"? There's a whole genre for it y'know. Some of it is smut ... some isn't. Personally. It's a genre I really like if done right. Link to post Share on other sites
Gifted With Singleness Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Oh, man, I should have just trusted Rule 34 when I was younger. I heard that there was porn of everything under the sun, and my asexual ass was just like, "Oh come on, that's ridiculous. There can't possibly be porn of [insert whatever here]." *looks it up* Oh. Ooooh. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Link to post Share on other sites

Rule 34 refers to porn of it, not porn for it. So while (call it porn or not) there may well be a gap in the market in this particular genre, it wouldn’t be an exception to Rule 34.

doggalogga Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have no interest in traditional porn. I'm more in tune with how a gynecologist and pizza delivery guy are similar... Both can smell, but neither can taste Sorry, but I've had a shit week, so I wanted to throw something silly in there Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not porn, and I suppose the audience is expected to interpret the characters allosexual anyway... but isn't all of teen movies and books and stuff like this? They make out but don't go further than that, often not unwearing any clothes etc 😄 well, it's frustrating you won't find the same stuff that often with adult characters who have more mature view on life, without hint of them also having sex. And as an aroace, it's frustrating that I often won't find satisfying storylines even with teens, but the characters must be pre-teen or kids to remain platonic yet strong bond 😅 I actually do watch porn at times, but (about the type of porn I prefer as an aroace:) Spoiler I have rather a medical/biological point of view to it when I do, and I don't relate to the people at all nor find any of them attractive other than aesthetically at best. But it's a really big turn off for me to have the people imply any sort of attraction or lust for each others, which typically happens even if they started with "professional medical examination". Just do it without too many words or noises or other distractions 😅 I don't mean cold violent stuff where not showing emotions was a part of abuse, but just stuff that simply does not focus on their relationship/ chemistry. Like they were just making an examination and not interested in each others. Link to post Share on other sites
