Nope. Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction (wanting to have sex with someone), not a lack of sex drive (being horny). Someone who finds porn/erotica/sexual fantasies arousing but isn't interested in doing the deed themselves are described as "autochorissexual".

Wow, I didn't know there was a name for it! That's neato.

It's not a real name, just a thing a few tumblr kids put together

Nope. The term was invented by Anthony Bogaert in his 2012 book Understanding Asexuality. Here are the relevant passages if anybody wants them:


"Our sexual attractions might occur when we connect our sexual feelings to others, as when we see or fantasize about someone, or perhaps our attractions are more responsive in nature, occurring when another person sees us and that incites or engages our sexual attractions to him or her. […] These target processes are part of a larger mate-recognition system that humans use to seek out and choose reproductive partners.

"But what if an individual’s targeting system does not operate in this way? What if, for example, the 'I' in 'I am attracted to him or her' in a typical targeting sequence does not operate in a traditional way? In some asexual people, the disconnect between identity/self (the 'I') and a sexual object seems to be this kind of target alteration: the identity or self is not connected to or 'targeted' to a sexual object.

"I am not aware of a specific name for this paraphilia. However, using a traditional Greek nomenclature, I have named it autochorissexualism: the quality of having sex without (choris) one’s self/identity (auto), or 'identity-less' sexuality."



"The issue raised in chapter 5 of the 'disconnect' between fantasy and masturbation for some asexuals is relevant here. In particular, the fantasies of asexual people, when they do occur in a consistent or systematic way, often are constructed in such a way that they themselves are not part of the sexual acts they are fantasizing about or viewing – in other words, they are not connected to anything or anyone sexual.

"One asexual person on the AVEN website describes it this way: 'I almost invariably think of fictional characters. My thoughts have never involved people I know, and they have never involved myself' (Vicious Trollop, 2005, July 25).

"Another AVEN participant writes, 'The point isn’t voyeurism, either: the scene doesn’t turn me on because I’m watching it, it turns me on because it’s sexually charged (and I’m acting as an emotional leech). I may have a character that I identify with more…but it’s not a stand-in for me; it acts like a viewpoint character in fiction' (Eta Carinae, 2005, July 25)."

"Autochorissexual" makes it sound like you're sexually attracted to chorizos.

[elialshadowpine]

... it sounded like being attracted to choruses (is that the right plural?) to me. Words are weird.
