A recent revelation
3 years ago
So recently I came to realize something about myself. All this time, I've identified as bisexual. After talking it over with my partner
rithmalfortele though I came to realize something. It turns out... I'm not attracted to anyone. I'm actually... asexual. For real people.
Now hear me out. This may sound a bit odd or even fake, but this is a real thing. I mostly only get attracted to fictional characters, especially furry characters. I've seen many attractive men and women over my life and had basically no reaction. But with fictional characters, I'm all over it. I drool over characters. Now, that doesn't mean I don't feel any attraction to real people. And in fact, my kinks like my foot fetish still get me going. However, in terms of general sexual attraction, real people usually don't do it for me.
There's an actual term for this I found out, as well. It's relatively new. Fictosexuality. Where a person experiences sexual attraction specifically for fictional characters. It's kind of a form of asexuality, in a way. But only for real people.
So if you feel the term "fictosexuality" is offensive or shouldn't be considered a sexual identity.... Sorry. It's how I really am. You can just view me as asexual with an interest in fictional characters, if you want. I'm Rusty Steele, and I'm fictosexual. Deal with it.

With how complex the human brain and sexual identity is, I find that any term or word choice that makes it easier for someone to understand themselves is a good thing! Life is complicated enough so I am all for having a way to define to yourself and the world who you are and how you identify <3 So stoked to hear you're better understanding yourself darlin!!

Thanks! :3 I was worried people would think it odd or confusing that I'm only into fictional characters but I'm glad everyone's being so understanding about it.
