I used to be active in the asexual community and have been to 3 asexuality conferences... basically every male asexual I've spoken to is asexual because they have a fetish that's the only thing that turns them on. So a straight asexual guy might have no interest in sex with women because the only activity he enjoys is, say, being trampled by a woman in stilettos, or watching a hot chick pop balloons, or jerking off to a girl wearing a plaster cast. The kink activity takes the place of sex. A lot of guys in the asexual community are like this and closeted - they identify as asexual publicly because they're ashamed of their fetish and/or because it's easier to explain to people. I left the asexual community before the wokeness completely took over and partly because I realized what was going on under the surface (at least on the male side) was unhealthy.

Sounds like good old internet porn addiction to me.

Paraphilias are much deeper and more hard-wired with that. Someone with one wouldn't even look at porn because they would have no interest in sex. They'd look for pictures relating to their kink instead (pictures which may not even be obviously sexual let alone pornographic... e.g. pictures of feet, shoes, clowns, people getting muddy, object destruction, whatever).

Yes, I do that. The pictures are usually pretty obvious though, no one is interested in those things besides people who have a fetish for it.
