Aegosexual 

Used to be known as autochristosexuality. Many people in the asexual community have found, that a fair amount of individuals that do not experience sexual attraction to people, experience arousal to sexual activities that they are not involved in.

Karl is aegosexual because even though he experiences sexual arousal from reading things in books or seeing it on tv he has no desire to actually do it.

Aego AroAce 

1. (sexual diversity) A person who is both aegoromantic and aegosexual; a person who enjoys the idea of romantic and sexual relationships in movies or any kind of content, but doesn't desire them at all in real life (in practice an AroAce - an asexual aromantic).

An Aego AroAce will probably enjoy reading NSFW stories and all that, but will not want to do that IRL.
