As someone who Identifies as aro/ace and pan (i.e. not interested in having sex or intimate relationships, but still attracted to folk), I cannot upvote this enough.
Getting off to something is very, very different from actually wanting to participate in it irl.
I think it’d be really weird to need to be able to get off to every character/story you read about. As a gay dude, that’d be a struggle on account of all the hetero characters in all the media. I feel like most of the time I read something that has non-hetero characters in it, they’re mostly lesbians, or bisexual.
Completely off-topic, but I’ve seen your handle a few times now and it makes me happy every time.

Admittedly I don’t actually read yaoi myself, but I was under the impression it was basically just illustrated smut with/without plot, no?
Thank you for the complimemt btw, seeing cat emoticons makes me happy too. ฅ(•˕ •マ₊˚⊹♡
Haven’t read yaoi myself either, so I wouldn’t know, but that’s basically what yaoi means. 「ヤマなしオチなし意味なし」, “no climax, point, or meaning.”
That’s basically my life. Pity I’m not into it.
