Autosexuality is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum[1] defined as the sexual attraction primarily to oneself.[2][3][4][5] Autoromantic is the romantic equivalent.[2]

Research

[edit]

Autosexuality has not been widely studied.[2] It is not to be confused with narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder,[4] which, according to the National Library of Medicine, may be the result of a genetic predisposition, such as rejection or excessive praise.[2][6] It is also not to be confused with autoeroticism as autosexual is considered a sexual orientation while autoeroticism is not.[2] According to clinical sexologist and sex and relationships therapist, Cyndi Darnell, “For folks who identify as autosexual, the current definition [and] the current understanding is that they are people who prefer a solo erotic practice, a solo pleasure practice, a self-touch practice – let's say masturbation over partnered sexual activities".[7] Autosexuality was discussed on the talk show, The View.[8]
