ayrt

Ah, ok. I've been thinking maybe it's more a semantic issue than anything else, and it sounds like it is.

The thinking people are hot (and I only even use that word because it's what's common; "nice to look at" is more accurate for me since I tend to think of "hot" as having a sexual component for most people, and for me it's not any different than looking at a painting or something) and admiring them from a distance thing I consider more aesthetic attraction. (The watching them have sex part doesn't apply to me because it does nothing for me...although with that I would think you could be turned on by the act rather than necessarily be sexually attracted to the people themselves.) I wouldn't consider it sexual attraction unless I personally actually wanted to have sex with them, but that's just me.

But if people are using the same terms to mean different things then I guess that makes a bit more sense.

For it's definitely different than looking at a painting. A painting doesn't generally make me want to masturbate to it, unless it involves nude people in suggestive poses.

I think "voyeur" would be a more appropriate term than asexual for me, except voyeurs do want to have sex with at least some people, and I don't get off to secretely peeping on unsuspecting people. So maybe "asexual voyeur"? IDK, sexualities are hard to categorize.

Hmmm. Interesting.

For me it's definitely like a painting. If a good-looking person is around, I'll enjoy looking at them, and then when they leave I'll go back to doing whatever I was doing before. The idea of masturbating because of them never even occurs to me.

But for you, they are sexually arousing but you just don't want to act on it. You're right, that is a difficult thing to categorize.

Sexuality in general is confusing.

I'm like that. I've also seen it called 'lithsexual'. Not sure about it, but it's probably better than 'voyeur'.
