Autosexuality, Explained

What is autosexuality?
Autosexuality is when someone is more sexually attracted to themselves than they are to other people.

What is autoromantic?
Autoromantic is similar to autosexual, except it refers to people who are more romantically attracted to themselves than they are to other people. Usually, though, people just say autosexual, and say “autoromantic” when they want to be more specific.

Why are the symptoms of autosexuality?

  • Disinterest in relationships or sex with other people.
  • Attraction to your own appearance or personality.
  • Feeling more aroused alone than with a partner, or with thoughts of a partner.

Why are some people autosexual?
That’s a tricky question! It’s like asking why some people are gay. There’s a lot of ongoing research about gender and sexuality, but some say it might be an innate quality, almost like genetics. Others say it could sometimes be the result of lived experiences, like a failed relationship or trauma.

Can you be a partially autosexual?
Yes! Just as someone can be attracted to both men and women (bisexual), someone can be attracted to both themself and other people. It’s a spectrum!

Is autosexuality the same as narcissism?
Nope! Autosexuality is a way that someone might experience attraction, just like any other sexuality. Narcissism is a personality disorder that includes a need for attention, admiration, and a lack of empathy. Someone who’s autosexual doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better than anyone else, just that they find themself more attractive. To think of it another way, a straight woman doesn’t think she’s better than other women just because she’s not attracted to other women, she’s just attracted to men, instead.

Is autosexuality the same as asexuality?
No. Asexuality is a lack of sexual or romantic attraction. Autosexuality isn’t a lack of attraction, just another way that attraction manifests—toward yourself. That said, the two are somewhat similar, in that some autosexuals, like asexuals, would rather not have sex with other people. The difference is that autosexuals are often sexual toward themselves, while asexuals are not.

Is it the same as cupiosexual?
Nope! A cupiosexual is someone on the asexual spectrum who doesn’t feel sexual attraction but may still feel fulfilled by sex in a relationship. The identities are similar, but the difference is the object of the desire—yourself versus someone else. That said, an autosexual can still enjoy sex with a loving partner, even if they prefer sex with themself.

Fun Fact: Kourtney Kardashian has stated in the past that she identifies as autosexual!
