Anecdote about me, a clueless young asexual
I just remembered something which is now kind of amusing to me. It’s the fact that I knew about both p0rn and masturbation for a silly amount of time before I realised they were (usually) connected. I legitimately though people would just watch/look at p0rn and just be sitting there like *nods* “Yeah, that’s sexy all right” but not doing anything. I also thought people just sat around cranking one out while thinking about random unrelated shit. Maybe I’d grasped the idea that they might think about sex, but I didn’t make the connection with p0rn.
It wasn’t until I read some story in a women’s magazine* about someone’s husband having a p0rn addiction that I finally twigged that ‘oh… people jack off while they’re watching the p0rn’.
*My aunt had lots of trashy celeb gossip/weird real life stories magazines at her house which I’d read while we were visiting.
(Sorry for the spelling, I want to limit the amount of bots that find this post)
