    I’m probably asexual, so I don’t really watch porn. Once in a blue moon I get curious, but it never does anything for me. So there’s no point.

      Interesting. I consider myself asexual as well but I watch a lot of porn. I enjoy sexual stimulation, I just don’t need another person to help me with it.

        I’m quite sexual, but I also have no interest in sexual relations, except with my partner, who is asexual, so now I’m asexual in a way. If I find another partner I’m truly into, then I might have sex again, but I don’t really care either way. It’s something of an enigma even to me. She encourages me all the time to find another partner again, but the drive just isn’t there anymore.

      I almost wholly agree with you. Just for me, personally, I do see a “point” in reading/“watching” porn even if it doesn’t get me aroused; it’s a source of entertainment and sometimes an art form, just like any other media. I never can get beyond hot and excited though, so it also doesn’t “do” anything for me.

        I could see that. Personally, I don’t find porn artistic at all, but I actually do gravitate towards sex scenes in shows/movies actually for the reasons you stated!
