I think you explained fairly well, at least I have a bit more insight (I think).
So the idea or the act can be arousing, but the actual individuals are uninteresting, sexually?
(that being said, most people just sitting naked on a couch wouldn't do all that much for me either...as there is such a thing as non-sexual nudity too, even for us with sexual attractions - but I digress)
I think you probably get the argument from "sexual" people because...in a lot of people these things are just very much interlinked. While I do intellectually know that a romantic relationship =/= a sexual relationship, for a lot of people (including me) they just often come in the same package. That doesn't take away your frustration with it, I'm sure, but it's an explanation as why you hear the argument so much...

Exactly. More like the idea of the act, which is what erotica is; the cleaned up, airbrushed, fantasy-enhanced idea of sex where things like leg cramps and backaches don't exist and everyone can achieve a screaming orgasm in under ten minutes. Because actual sex? Right up there with watching my hard drive defrag as "most boring activity ever." But yes, the actual individuals are not sexually appealing in any way to me.

Precisely. And I know that. I just wish when I explained that for me, they are completely separate things because unlike them, I don't experience sexual attraction, that I would stop getting told that I'm either repressing attraction or I'm somehow enjoying porn incorrectly.
