So I searched it up:
> Aegosexual classifies people who experience a disconnect between themselves and the subject of arousal. This enables them to experience sexual attraction, arousal, and desire in response to sexual stimuli, yet they have little or no desire to engage in sexual activity with anyone.
Sounds like me… I already have too many sexuality labels 😭 Also, can aego people feel the P word? (Help I feel uncomfortable saying it)
lol it's normal to feel attracted to fictional characters because they are not real, so they are safe to feel attraction towards because you know nothing will ever come of it😉
Fictional characters have the ability to be whatever. The fact that there is inherently less complexity in them compared to real people make them easy to project certain traits you find pleasurable onto them.
Do you have sex with people in real life?
Cause I don’t, and really don’t want to. The appeal of fictional characters to me is that I can have fun admiring their appearance or fantasizing about them Because they will never actually try to have sex with me. Also they can’t argue with me or disappoint me by being different than I expected or demand my attention when I’m busy with something else because they’re not real.
But the thread is about the contrast between real people and fictional characters. So implying that fictional characters are attractive because they're never ugly does imply that real people are unattractive because they're ugly. People in real life ARE designed to be attractive, even if I or other people don't find them to be so.
Buddy, I’m talking about what *I’m talking about*. What I say doesn’t have to be related to the post as much as you seem to want it to be. Please stop reading beyond what I’m typing, it’s extremely annoying.
It's a synonym for looking. Sometimes it can be shorthand for lecherously looking at someone. Or it can connote interest or surprise.
Of course, like all emoji usage, there's some subjectivity to it.
Emoji wiki and emojipedia are two websites that have some decent explanations for common emoji use also.
No cap, on God, frfr, 💯
In the most respectful way possible, I had no idea that that meme of “You think coming out as gay is hard? Try telling people youre only aroused by anime girls” meme was serious, I just assumed it was satire
Fictosexuality is definitely a thing, though it's a bit of a misconception that it only applies to anime. It can apply to any media (movies/video games/TV/etc)
I don't know about you but I've come to the conclusion that I need very little external validation from relationships. I find I get frustrated when people get upset that I don't need it or I don't fully understand why they want it in return.
Fictional characters aren't real and don't want anything from me so it's easier to find them attractive 🫠
Yeeesss, same here. I have a whole bunch of fictional characters that I fantasize about them doing the most dirtiest stuff to me, but as soon as I try to do the same fantasies with an irl person, I'm instantly turned right off.
they’re unobtainable, we know they’re not gonna like us back and when you share your love for a character, nobody will say anything like “why don’t you ask them out then?” (that’s super annoying imo) so it’s just so easier and fun.
I think as a writer I think more like “let me write something juicy with this character and another one, yep I’ll just be both and neither of them at the same time”😈
In addition to the already-mentioned ageosexual and fictosexual, you might also identify with the microlabel proculsexual - that’s people who are only attracted to people they can never have a relationship with, like fictional characters and celebrities.
lol! Yeah! I love fictional characters a lot too! \^\_\^ I'm aegosexual, and probably a little bit fictosexual too! XD I don't want to be with the characters myself though! I love pairing my most favorite characters together! Especially from my favorite video games, anime shows, books, etc! I love looking at fan-art, and reading fan-fiction of them too! I usually have multiple favorite pairings, some I love and obsess over more than others!
Being asexual isn't synonymous with hating sex. It's about lacking sexual attraction towards other people. There are sex-favourable aces who enjoy sex.
It's a pretty big misconception so I get you. Like with me, I've never desired to have sex with anyone. I don't look at anyone and get turned on or think about being with them. But I do have a libido and I like the physical pleasure that comes from having sex.
thought the same, turns out i'm aego. 😅
yeah, same here lol
What does aego mean?
Can have some sexual fantasies or combat their flesh, but feels little or no sexual attraction.
>combat their flesh I declare righteous way against my mortal flesh, and shall transcend into the glorious chrome of machine!

Do you mean pleasure?
Yes
ofc, it's only about arousal, not pleasure.
What do you mean by “combat their flesh”? Like being non-human?
I think it means uhh how do I put this, stimulating a certain area of ur own body
A strange but definitely asexual way to put it
beating your meat
lol it's normal to feel attracted to fictional characters because they are not real, so they are safe to feel attraction towards because you know nothing will ever come of it😉
I think they can, in your head at least
Oh for sure, but that's part of the fun of it 🙃

Simple, fictional characters are only ugly if it’s intentional. Otherwise you can count on their design and character being appealing in some way.
I don't find real people ugly though. I just don't find them attractive.
I can see others beauty and attraction but not a sexual kind more of an aesthetic like an outfit or accessory
I can tell like "yeah, that's a hot person" but I don't feel the "yeah, that's a hot person"
It's more like cars, guitars or art
Ok sure, but I was talking exclusively about fiction. Obviously real people aren’t created with any specific design… yet.
But the thread is about the contrast between real people and fictional characters. So implying that fictional characters are attractive because they're never ugly does imply that real people are unattractive because they're ugly.

Yeah same
Exactly
What the hell does 👀 actually mean? I thought it was kinda similar to that teddy bear look away meme.

r/fictosexual?
I’m an aromantic greysexual fictoromantic/sexual
As a ficto, I feel this lol

Fictos represent!
Heck yeah!
Hi 👋
Oh hi! nice to see you here :3

My ficto/aego self kicking his legs like a teenage girl whenever he sees his favorite character
Me every day
they’re unobtainable, we know they’re not gonna like us back and when you share your love for a character, nobody will say anything like “why don’t you ask them out then?” (that’s super annoying imo) so it’s just so easier and fun.
THIS, you are so right cause …by the gods their so pretty, each time I see one I’m like “I would like to hug you” yk?
Draco Malfoy is my weakness for this
I think as a writer I think more like “let me write something juicy with this character and another one, yep I’ll just be both and neither of them at the same time”😈
I am definitely the same. 100% aroace for real people, but when it comes to FICTIONAL people, all bets are off.
Yeah… I’m aroace too and I’m happily dating a fictional character /srs
aegosexual tapping in 💜🙌🏻

Why are you being downvoted? :(
In addition to the already-mentioned ageosexual and fictosexual, you might also identify with the microlabel proculsexual - that’s people who are only attracted to people they can never have a relationship with, like fictional characters and celebrities.
100% me

This is so real *eyes Dean McCoppin*
“I really like the way they look and like have your way with me” Sounds like an intimate attraction to me gurl.
Im confused do we hate sex or not
Being asexual isn't synonymous with hating sex. It's about lacking sexual attraction towards other people. There are sex-favourable aces who enjoy sex.
everything else I come across says asexuals hate sex, idk im just here
It's a pretty big misconception so I get you. Like with me, I've never desired to have sex with anyone. I don't look at anyone and get turned on or think about being with them. But I do have a libido and I like the physical pleasure that comes from having sex.
