What classifies as fictisexual?

[Twist496 134]

I think that I might be a fictisexual.

I find fictional characters more attractive than real women, but I still find attraction in real women too, just less. 

I also find a romantic interest in fictional guys, but not a sexual one.

I'm romantically and sexually attracted to fictional women.

I'm sorry if I'm saying a lot, I just can't find any answers online.

Wait.. This is an actual THING?! please be a thing... Release me from my prison 😭😍

I have always found more affinity with fic characters than real, physical, material people. I know it's a Neurodivergent thing, but I didn't know it was a sexual terminology as well

It's a real thing. 😉 Nice to see someone like me.

I am floored... 

It explains so much... 

No one got how I wasn't raving about celeb actors, for instance, but the characters they were playing 😍

Cartoon and Anime included as well... And literature...

I have never heard this term before but it kind of makes sense, I have been strongly attracted to anime women as well as to one of the world's hottest corporate logos Erin Esurance! And as an author the great thing is that you can create your own characters who are more interesting than real life people, so naturally you like them better than reality, and if you don't like them, well then you're the author, so you can kill them off! It's win-win!

As a Writer ((I don't call myself an author, I am mostly unpublished)) I totally second this.. 

Most people who know me know I am head over heels in love with a particular Anime character 😁 and most of my Fanfic is exploring what I would do to them through the medium of my O/C. ((I wouldn't say no to her either.. She's an angel 😅)) 

There's a good few of my Fanfic O/C's based on people I knew who were not the nicest people, to put it mildly. It's definitely fun describing their comeuppance in much gory detail!!
