Hi there, SillyMcGoof_, welcome back!

Your explanation seems good to me. I think this doesn’t have to mean anything more than what you’ve said: you’re often aroused by the bodies of women you see in porn, but you haven’t experienced attraction to women otherwise. This can mean whatever you want for how you identify.

Here is how I think of it: the language you use to talk about your identity can change in different contexts, and you can use to pragmatically to communicate certain information about yourself. For example, you could say that you are bisexual and specify how. Or you could say you’re not attracted to women, because that describes your experience in most situations. Either is fine.
