Does anyone feel turned on for no reason


Recommended Posts

So this is parculiar one. I identify as asexual with a high libido, aesthetically appreciate men, and my sexual expression involves noone else and just involves fantasy and masturbation. The strange thing is most of the time I get turned on for no reason. I'm not attracted to people beyond the aesthetics of men, which doesn't turn me on much, but often I get horny for no reason, and then I think of something to direct my libido towards something to get myself off. It's not that I don't get turned on think about things such as kink or having a thought that get me going, but sometimes I just feel really turned on, Can anyone else relate to this? I'm wondering if it's just me. Is there even a name for this? Does it fit anywhere in the ACE spectrum?

Libido is often related to hormones. If you're getting turned on for no reason, either you have some underlying turn-on you haven't quite discovered, or there could be some underlying hormonal cause. None of this is related to your sexuality. Your libido doesn't change your sexuality.

Sometimes people just randomly get turned on. Like someone else said, it's hormones, which have nothing to do with whether you're asexual. Just a physiological process. I don't experience random episodes of being turned on and I'm still sexual because I desire partnered sex and would be unhappy without it being part of a relationship. If you never want sex with anyone else, regardless of whether you get randomly horny, you're still asexual.

Yeah and when it happens I read smut (whether its a comic or a novel).

I prefer BL, but i don’t mind hentai, it just depends on my mood.

In general I have no interest in watching/reading about real people engaging in sexual acts.

back in the day I would visit the website textsfromlastnight and most of the anecdotes were sexual,  and gross, honestly. I can’t imagine why anyone would find some sex acts presented in those anecdotes enjoyable, but I’m very much ok with those situations being depicted when they are drawn/written about in a novel.

I like staring at pretty pictures, and characters can be as pretty as the artist is capable of making them, so I can have a pick of many artists whose art I like and since it’s just drawings I’m ok seeing stuff than in reality I wouldn’t find so erotic .

Anyway, sometimes I randomly replay a certain scene from something I read that I found “hot”  and feel an itch.


Still not interested in having sex myself though.
