Asexuality and leather


MattPlymouth

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Something I’ve really struggled with is my link between my sexuality and my fascination to leather.Since I can remember I have always been aroused by leather (the look, the feel etc). I’ve always thought this was a sexual thing but recently I have discovered the world of asexuality.

I have never been interested in sex but leather has always aroused me. If I see a guy in leather it gets me going but I don’t think it’s the guy because as soon as they don’t wear it I’m not interested. To be honest I think I look more at the outer than who is wearing it. 
What I want to ask is can someone get aroused by someone wearing leather and still be asexual? 
Thanks for your help.

there isn't really a name for that(?)
but the closest one on my mind is demisexual
there's this other word "objectophilia"(attraction to non living objects, not sure if that counts but i think thats it)
search it up.

hope i helped : )

I recommend checking out the "Kink, BDSM, and Cake" thread. They might have some useful information there. (Your situation seems up their alley, at least)

I would guess this would be closer to graysexual, since they can experience sexual attraction when certain requirements are met, but I could be wrong. If you're simply aroused but not attracted, then it's ace. If you're aroused and inclined to have sex with them, then gray.

Think you just said in like three sentences what took me like thirty-three to say haha. I envy people that are able to speak so succinctly and yet speak with such clarity.

Lol. With situations like this I always find a mix of styled answers to be best; it gives op more information and perspectives to go on to understand complex concepts. :)

Thanks for the replies. It helps a lot. It’s weird. I suppose I do image the person sometimes in a more sexual position (although that’s more of another link of dominance than the act itself but that’s another thread haha). I think it’s more of the look and feel of the leather itself that gives me the arousal. 
However in real life it’s not usually that and I don’t think about acting on it. Although I would like to feel the person wearing it haha. 
 

I will certainly look up that thread. Thanks for all of your help.
