One can be fictosexual for a wide variety of reasons, such as spiritually - believing in past lives and/or parallel universes in which the individual was in (a) relationship(s) with (a) certain fictional character(s). Alternatively, a reason may be that the individual is never possibly able to be in a relationship with any fictional characters they may feel attraction to within the non-fictional world.
