Aegosensual

Aegosensual, previously known as Autochorissensual, is a microlabel on the asensual spectrum that describes those who have a disconnection between themself and the subject of sensual fantasies. Aegosenuals may have sensual fantasies and enjoy viewing sensuality in media, but they generally feel little to no sensual attraction and typically do not desire to engage in sensual touch (such as kissing, hugging, cuddling, massages, caressing, etc.) with another individual.

Some common aegosensual experiences include:


 * Enjoying sensual content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for sensual experiences in real life.
 * Fantasizing about sensual experiences, but the aegosensual individual is not involved, they are only a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-individual perspective, and not from the first individual. They may also fantasize through the perspective of another individual rather than as one's actual self.
 * Fantasizing about sensual experiences, but envisioning only other individuals, such as celebrities or fictional characters, or nondescript individuals, generic and faceless in nature.
 * Fantasizing about sensual experiences, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of it less appealing or even repulsive.
 * Perceiving someone as "attractive," yet not seeing the appeal of having sensual experiences (such as kissing, hugging, cuddling, massages, caressing, etc.) with the individual in real life. The aegosensual individual may instead prefer to fantasize about them.

History
The first known use of the term aegosensual was on DeviantArt by the user Pride-Flags on January 26th, 2016.

Flag
The aegosensual flag was coined by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt on January 26th, 2016. The flag follows a similar pattern scheme to both the aegosexual and aegoromantic flags. It contains four colored stripes, black, gray, white, and peach-orange, bearing a strong resemblence to the asensual flag, and in the center is triangle that inverts the colors of the flag.

Etymology
Aego- is derived from Latin words with a- meaning "without" and ego meaning "myself", making the whole word translate to "sensual without myself".
