Summary
The 35-year-old artist from the Midwest recalls a two-month period spending “eight to 10 hours a day” creating elaborate fantasies with SpicyChat, a relationship role-playing platform. The sheer variety of the responses got them hooked. Kor, who did not want to be fully named for privacy reasons, is on the asexual spectrum, identifying as aegosexual because they experience arousal from fantasy and erotica related to characters but do not generally wish to have sex themselves. (They live with their husband, who also identifies as aego.) “I do kind of prefer masturbating to actual sex,” Kor says of their marathon SpicyChat sessions over Zoom. Research has suggested that 1 percent of people in some places could be asexual, but that figure could be as low as 0.1 percent in the US. On the subreddit MyBoyfriendIsAI, asexual users sometimes discuss their journeys into AI companionship.
