Speaking as a smut writer, it's really not. The fic is about the characters, not me. Yes, the scenario might turn me on to imagine, but I'm not actually in the story at all. I'm distanced enough to have spent a lot of time editing word choices and making sure the dialogue flows and no one accidentally has three hands (unless the character actually does). I write a lot of kinks I'm not that into IRL but I love to research them and find out what people who are into them feel about it.

So someone telling me they enjoyed it in a sexual way doesn't feel like sexual harassment because it's not about me at all. It's about my work, and whether I succeeded in my intention, which was to turn readers on.

I agree. During editing, my mind can become so hyper focused on the flow of movement between parties/word flow the mental image of the scenario is like pausing a video and smoothing out the glitches or splicing a scene frame by frame. That aspect of my work is more technical than emotional so if I received a comment where someone said they fapped to it...I don't think I would feel squicked or like someone is harassing me. I'd be proud and relieved that the work that went into the smut was effective.

Does it take away from my anatomy? Not to me. Would it make me feel objectified? No, because I see it as a critique of my work and not me specifically.
