Sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (I don’t know what would be the right community)

If someone was not romantically attracted to anyone, but still had the sexual desire for a particular gender to where they can masturbate to people from said gender, what type of sexuality would that be?

I don’t think it’s asexual. Maybe aro-ace?

    Romantic interest and sexual interest can definitely be separate. You can be aromantic but not 100% asexual. But it does mean extra work to communicate it. Either you can separately mention both by saying aromatic heterosexual/homosexual/bisexual/pansexual or abbreviate as aro-het, aro-pan, etc. Or you can keep it vague with just “queer” depending on the situation and what you’re looking to communicate to the other person in the moment.

    Personally, I’m pansexual, but rarely have romantic attraction to masculine people. But I usually just say pan unless it’s someone looking for a relationship with me and then I might say lesbian if they are masc for example.
