LOL, it might be a minority opinion, but it's not just you. All biology is intrinsically gross if you think about it, and yeah, real people are loud, smelly, obstreperous and intrusive. Fictional people are, by contrast, fictional. For sure, I can appreciate a picture of someone pretty - that has nothing to do with sex, though; I appreciate female beauty too, even though I don't desire female bodies. But a picture of someone pretty - even a moving picture - can't appreciate me back.
It's like falling in love with a total narcissist, right? He's beautiful, he's sexy, he's fascinating, he's totally oblivious to you - you can love him with all your heart till your dying day, and he'll never know - or care to know - that you even exist. How gratifying, to be one of a zillion fans lusting for that fine shirtless torso, with a snowflake's chance in Hell of ever touching it.
There are some fictional movie/TV characters I think are insanely hot. Original Spock, of course. Original Conan - yes, I know, Ahhhnold, but he was young and unknown back then. Kwai Chang Caine. Jeremiah Johnson, and even more, Jeremiah's, uh, 'acquaintance', Paints-His-Shirt-Red. Kai from Lexx, even though he's dead and has that ridiculous hairstyle. Buliwyf from 13th Warrior. Titus Pullo from Rome, even though my taste usually does not run so much to 'chunk style'. They're all very easy on the eyes; the actors who portray them are uncommonly pretty men. But the actors are actors; they live actor-lives in Hollywood, and almost certainly have very little in common with the kind of lone-wolf warrior that melts my socks.
LOL, unfortunately, there's a reason why real lone-wolf warrior-types are mostly alone: sexy beasts they may be, but they don't domesticate well. And if I'm going to get involved with anybody fictional, why should it be someone else's characters, and not my own, tailor-made to my own preferences?
