I assume being ace is relevant bc like... as another ace person, sex and eroticism in media can be interesting (an aesthetically pleasing shot in a film, or a beautifully rendered painting, or a written scene that gives a new layer of depth and understanding to a character), or it can be uninteresting (flat descriptions of the physical action in a smut scene, or a scene in a show/movie that tries too hard to be titillating but falls short on artistry), it can even make me CRINGE... but I'm not responding to it the way an allosexual person does!

I don't necessarily register that the primary purpose of a sex scene MIGHT be to titillate-- yes, even when reading smutty fanfiction, which I do. So instead of the knee-jerk revulsion of 'this character having sex should not be titillating!', my first thought might instead be about what kind of story could be told where a character with childlike characteristics is having sex-- is it meant to horrify me? Is this a tragedy the character is going to overcome? Or is this just an adult character who happens to be short and youthful, a condition PLENTY of adult sex-havers deal with in the dating scene?

Just to throw this out there, your entire first paragraph could apply to sexual people as well. I always find it interesting how asexual people tend to think sexual people are a monolith that are always horny. Also, some asexual people do get turned on by smut and sex scenes. Asexual doesn't mean no sex drive, it just means no sexual attraction to people/desire to actually have sex.

DA

....We know. The point isn't that allos are a monolith of kneejerk reactions but that the people who assume that people who read/watch something with sex in it must be for titillation and therefore whatever it is must be something those people want to do/actually do in real life are, if not completely, almost always allos. In the larger circle of allos, we're talking about this smaller circle. It is a small circle that does not seem to overlap with the circle of aces.
