Can an asexual person masturbate to someone they find physically attractive?
Trying to understand the difference between sexual attraction, libido, etc. as it pertains to asexuality and my specific situation.
I've never looked at someone and wanted to physically have sex with them. That doesn't seem particularly appealing to me. I'd be perfectly fine having a partner and never having sex with them. I would / could be perfectly fine and happy never having sex with anyone ever again. The sexual / physical expectations of most traditional romantic relationships are my least favorite part of them.
But, every so often, I get horny / libido, and I need to find an outlet to let that go of. I typically feel the libido / horniness, then find a physical stimuli ( the image of / video of someone I find physically attractive or even the person themselves) to help discharge to. I wish I didn't feel this, but it's something my body needs to deal with, just like food or sleeping and not dealing with it leads to adverse effects.
I want to understand what my situation might qualify as.
