I am going to be a contesting voice here and say no. No, I do not ship characters that I do not find personally attractive. I have analysed this about myself extensively in the last twelve years or so and have come to the conclusion that I am very rarely sexually attracted to any person in real life, but that all my attraction is reserved for fictional characters. Yes, there is a big component of 'they need to be attracted to each other' but if I am not attracted to them in any way (aesthetic, sensual, emotional, whatever, sexual happens but is very rare), I will probably not care too much about the fandom and I will definitely not find writing or reading smut about them interesting. I have tried. A lot. But I have come to the conclusion that this is simply who and how I am. That is also why I completely bounce off of genderbending and it will never work for me.

As indicated by the replies to this post, I am aware that it doesn't necessarily vibe with most people. I was always very confused how fellow lesbians ship m/m or f/m when I personally bounce off hugely of any kind of male involvement in my smut. But I have accepted that I am the outlier. I'm just, idk, shallow I guess. Or, you know, simply built in a way that my main enjoyment comes from how someone's whole appearance resonates with me. That is also why I only am 'into' characters, not actors (ususally, there is exactly one exception so far), because they can look wildly different between roles and I can be attracted to one of their characters but not the other.

That all is to say, I love how attraction and what is important for people when they ship characters is highly individual. It's always fascinating for me to learn about how other people see these things and how it differs from myself.

I am the one who sort of started all this, and you have a point. I do need some attraction to a character. But it isn't just necessary sexual or even visual. They must have some attractive qualities to me, but I've read this secret as someone talking about looks, because people usually do.
