Sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (I don't know what would be the right community)

If someone was not romantically attracted to anyone, but still had the sexual desire for a particular gender to where they can masturbate to people from said gender, what type of sexuality would that be?

I don't think it's asexual. Maybe aro-ace?

Asking myself the same thing because this sounds very similar to my experience. Maybe aromantic greysexual? But also asexual people can still masturbate, and even sometimes have sex with others. Basically you can call yourself whatever feels best for you. There is also this nice wiki which goed more in depth into the different ace labels: https://www.asexuality-handbook.com/the-a-spectra
