  • But if they weren't attracted to people... Wouldn't that make them asexual?

    • It would make them aromantic, but I'm not sure how you would classify their sexuality. Ask them, I suppose. I think they could reasonably identify as asexual, though.

      • Well they still have sexual desire but not actually with a person. So I not sure if its asexual since they indeed have strong sexual desires.

        • It depends on how they identify.

          • I know that is why I am asking. What would someone like that identify with? It is not put with something. It has no name. So what would they qualify as? I know this is strange but It is driving me mad trying to think of a answer.

            • Uh, ask them. I know I've read about people like that who identify as asexual, but it might vary from person to person. The terms "object sexuals" and "object sexuality" are used to refer to people like that, but I don't know if those are terms everybody with that kind of fetish identifies with.

    • If you lack a sex drive or have very little and no motivation to have it with anyone or anything you are asexual. Most of these people have a very strong lust or sexual sensation to objects. So I do not believe that is the case.

      • I think they have their orientation on the side of the fetish. People with foot fetish only get turned on by the object, not the person it belongs to. If a male was turned on by the sight of male genitalia, then.. uhm.. Seen from one perspective, it's just the object, not the person turning him on. Then again.. eh..
