As I’ve made a blog about before one of the main things I draw is naked men… I absolutely adore drawing naked people like 24/7, I might start drawing women or pre-surgery trans men just to lessen my gender dysphoria too but I mainly draw cis or post-surgery trans men. It’s fun.
I don’t know if I’d still be counted as asexual due to this. I know this is something weird for someone my age to be talking about (don’t groom me over this I’m talking in a very non-sexual light about this sexual topic) but.. I really like how men’s bodies look. But I don’t feel sexual looking at them? I’ll draw straight BOOTY and, even though I don’t feel anything physically nor feel any sexual attraction, I still do like how it looks on an…aesthetic level, I guess? I have pretty much everything but the actual sexual attraction. I draw men’s bodies because I admire them and love them and do find them pleasing but I don’t think they’re sexually attractive. Am I still asexual if I like ass and male bodies but in a non-sexual way?? I’m confused by myself. What type of ace person does this. I like my nude drawings in the same way you’d see a horse; you can see and appreciate how it would get ridden, and you like how it looks, but there’s no initiative to ride it because you’re probably not a horse rider.
Am I still asexual…? I know it seems obvious but I’m so confused. Is there a label for liking bodies but #aesthetically or am I just special like that. Hopefully this isn’t too weird of a thing to talk about on here

Imo, you still can be ace. For some people, aesthetic attraction can be separate from sexual or other kinds of attraction. You said yourself it doesn't cause you any kind of sexual feeling, so there's your answer. The ace spec is really diverse that way. :)
I came here to type this comment; yes, it does sound like aesthetic attraction is what's being described. It's admiring something like art, even if it is something usually reserved for sexual attraction like the naked human body, so I understand the confusion presented in the post.
