inspired most recently by this Asexual Advice post (and all the others like it)
“I seem to find myself attracted to fictional male characters. Am I REALLY asexual, or am I just a heterosexual with a low sex drive?”
i had the same problem for years, anon, and eventually came to the conclusion that i am asexual. more specifically, i am autochorissexual (a term coined by Bogaert, literally meaning “self-less sexual”), meaning i am sexually attracted to sex that does not involve me.
fictional (cis) dudes are perfect for this because
being fictional, they can never touch me. being (cis) dudes, they are as unlike (cisfemale) me as possible.
i’m not literally threatened by their existence, and i’m not likely to identify too closely with their physical arousal in ways that might upset me.
TA-DA. NOW YOU KNOW WHY AN ASEXUAL’S BLOG IS FULL OF EXPLICIT SLASH.
