'''Aegosexual''' or '''anegosexual'''<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-085945/https://www.kinkly.com/definition/17639/aegosexuality}}</ref>, historically known as '''autochorissexual''', is a [[microlabel]] on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] that describes individuals who experience a disconnect between themselves and the subject of arousal. Aegosexuals may experience sexual fantasies, enjoy porn and other sexual content, or masturbate, but they generally feel little to no [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] and typically do not desire to involve themselves in sex with another individual.
Some common aegosexual experiences include:
*Enjoying sexual content, masturbating, or fantasizing about sex, but being [[Sex-Indifferent|indifferent]] towards or [[Sex-Repulsed|repulsed]] by the idea of being in a real-life sexual relationship.
*Fantasizing about sex, but:
*Perceiving someone as "hot" or sexually attractive, but not desiring sex with the person in real life. The aegosexual person may instead only fantasize about them.▼
*
**envisioning only other individuals, such as celebrities, fictional characters, or even friends.
*
**it is seen through the perspective of another individual rather than as one's actual self.
*
▲*Fantasizing about sex, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.
*
▲*Perceiving someone as "hot" or recognizing someone as sexually attractive,
*Enjoying erotic content but getting turned on by the situation or relationship dynamics in story lines rather than by one's attraction to the individuals.
Aegosexual may be similar to [[pseudosexual]], which describes an individual who experiences a non-sexual attraction which mimics sexual attraction, often by causing arousal or a [[Sex Drive|libido]] spike.
The [[Romantic Orientation|romantic]] equivalent is [[aegoromantic]].
==History==
The term autochorisexual was coined by Dr. Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist who specializes in human sexuality, in 2012<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090130/https://
The term 'aegosexual' was coined by Tumblr user Sugar-And-Spite, in November 2014<ref>{{Archive|URL=2020.11.15-160220/https://sugar-and-spite.tumblr.com/post/101478696189/autochoris-is-a-bit-of-a-mouthful}}</ref>. The term is meant to have the same meaning as 'autochorisexual', but is formulated to make the word easier to pronounce and discard the orientation's original classification as a paraphilia.
Some aegosexuals were also uncomfortable with Bogaert's definition of autochorisexual, which remained the widely used definition for aegosexual. Other definitions were coined as a result, with varying takes on whether or not aegosexuals experience sexual attraction. Some of these definitions are as follows:▼
* Liking the idea of sex, and/or enjoying sexual content, but not actually experiencing attraction or wanting to have sex with anybody.<ref>https://kyethekoolguy.tumblr.com/post/161589828686/sexual-and-romantic-orientation-masterpost</ref>▼
▲Some aegosexuals were
* A person who enjoys the idea of sexual relationships but does not wish to have one. (Associated with a disconnect between the person and a sexual target/fantasy)<ref>https://invincible-asexual.tumblr.com/post/118611718367/a-few-more-terms</ref>▼
* Feeling attraction and desire only for situations that do not involve one’s self.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150905123406/https://pride-flags-for-us.tumblr.com/post/128023708253/is-there-an-autochrissexual-flag/</ref>▼
*Liking
▲*An
▲*
▲*Someone
==Flag==
The aegosexual flag is nearly identical to the asexual flag, but it possesses a triangle with an inverted order of colors. The triangle represents a "reverse" of asexuality, as aegosexuals are likely to be initially perceived as sexual
An alternate flag was designed by an unnamed "member of the aegosexual community" on or before August 4, 2020.
*Purple represents community, likely coming from the asexual community;
*Gray represents the entire spectrum of asexuality;
*Teal represents a disconnection between the self and attraction;
*Black represents asexuality.
An alternate version was created on August 8, 2020, by xeno-aligned<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090619/https://xeno-aligned.tumblr.com/post/625867415855808513/a-member-of-the-aegosexual-community-helped}}</ref> which kept the triangle symbolism but used the colors of the alternate flag.
The fourth flag was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] on February 22nd of 2021. The shades of purple represent sexuality while the black triangles represents a wall
▲The fourth flag was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] on February 22nd of 2021. The shades of purple represent sexuality while the black triangles represents a wall inbetween ones sexuality and themself. The grey X represents the greyasexual spectrum.
==Etymology==
Dr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase "autochoris", meaning "sexuality without identity".
Aego- is derived from Latin words with the prefix "a-" meaning "without" and "ego" meaning "myself", making the whole word translate to "sexual without myself".
Anego- is more etymologically correct, using "an-", which comes before terms starting with vowel sounds, instead of "a-".<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090744/https://lgbta.fandom.com/wiki/Aegosexual?commentId=4400000000000227303&replyId=4400000000000785170}}</ref>
