is it likely i'm asexual?

This is going to be a bit rambly, and I apologize up front, but this is my experience of asexuality.

For much of my life (and I'm somewhat old) I didn't really consider myself asexual. It was relatively recently that I saw a video about a couple of different perspectives of asexuality, and one perspective that I found relatable was roughly this:

For some people, asexuality is an attraction model that isn't really centered on people, i.e. you don't necessarily find people (physically) attractive, you may find attraction focused on other things, such as events, scenarios/situations, or connection.

Hearing this and looking back, there are a few things that stood out:

  • When I was in a long-term relationship, my partner was quite frustrated with my lack of sex drive. I wasn't uninterested, but sex to me was more of an academic curiosity; I would read about sex on forums like early Reddit, see what people liked, and I enjoyed doing and trying things that made them react, but the act itself didn't mean a lot to me.
  • I never really got into "regular" porn, but really enjoyed drawn stuff, especially if it depicted something unusual (certain scenarios, etc )
  • I eventually got a bit into visual novels, and later other porn games, enough so that I volunteered to mod for the Reddit lewdgames subreddit, and run the c/lewdgames community here as well.

I've never been "sex-repulsed" like the other poster mentioned, but I've also never felt like my attraction model was appropriately described by other terms. I've adopted asexual, and I feel like it fits better than most, even though I'm still reasonably involved in porn communities.

Do you mod your games to have lewd content? If so, what games are you modding?

Rimworld has a pretty interesting modding scene.

I know Skyrim has an extensive lewd modding scene as well, but I haven't really messed with it

Weirdly, I really like mods in already NSFW games:

  • Strive4Power and it's sequel/remake, Strive Conquest have mods that experiment with the gameplay quite a bit.
  • I played around with writing mods for Portals of Phereon for a bit to try out some changes to the game to better fit my interests.

I get the concern with mods being complicated to install, depending on the game & it's engine, it can be difficult to keep compatibility with either new versions if the game, or with other mods.

Yeah, boejakka and others from the reddit lewdgames community have done great work cataloging these.

I'm waiting for feedback from the other mods over there before I go promoting this community

On Piracy

There's also a risk that being too loose with any questionably legal content could lead to blocking or defederation of this community/server, both of which I'd like to avoid
