Do Asexual Masturbate and Do They Have Sexual Fantasies? Some people do, while others don't, and it matters how they appear to the outside world. Accessed February 19, 2017 | Matt Huston's review In my previous post, an introduction to asexuality, I mentioned that there are different types of asexual people and provided examples.

 Some asexual have very slight romantic or sexual interests, while others have neither, and some have neither. I also brought up the well-known point that just as sexual and romantic attraction levels range from none to a high level of intensity, so do their degrees, from exclusively one sex to exclusively the other sex. Asexual people do not all have the same traits in common. Yule, Brotto, and Gorzalka, who study asexuality, have made this important point.

 

They contend that there are various "subtypes" of asexual people. While some people have no sex drive, others can be sexually aroused, though this aroused sexuality may be focused on oneself or fictional characters rather than necessarily other people. Asexual may also perceive themselves as distinct from the sexual acts they are fantasizing about, feeling either a deep or slight separation from the object of arousal. Self-stimulation (also known as masturbation) and sexual fantasies were two characteristics of sexual people that Yule et al. studied. They carried out an online survey with people of all sexual orientations, and 351 of those respondents were identified as exist using the Asexuality Identification Scale.

 

 I have less faith in their findings for men because the vast majority (83%) were women. Their main conclusions were: Women who identify as asexual are generally less likely to masturbate than women who identify as sexual; the higher asexuality scores a woman receives, the less likely she is to masturbate. At the same rate as sexual men, asexual men engage in masturbation "at least monthly" (a more fine-tuned measure of masturbation frequency might tell us otherwise

 

Asexual women and men who masturbate did so out of a sense of "obligation," not because it was particularly enjoyable or pleasurable from a sexual standpoint. Additionally, they might be inspired to masturbate to release stress or out of boredom, procrastination, or lack of sleep. Many asexuals engage in masturbation without having romantic or sexual fantasies.

 

Instead of erotic imagery, physical sensations are the main focus. This means that rather than being driven by innate sexual desire or arousal, their masturbation is more driven by physical needs ("similar to an itch needing to be scratched"). 80% of asexual men and 65% of asexual women report having sexual fantasies. But compared to sexual, this proportion is much lower.
