'''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:
*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.▼
*Fantasizing about sex, but only imagining oneself, and no other people.▼
*Fantasizing about sex, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.▼
*Fantasizing about sex, but it is idealised and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy (smells, sounds, visuals, etc.) makes the idea of sex less appealing or even repulsive.▼
*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:
**the aegosexual individual is not involved. They may only be a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-individual perspective rather than from the first-individual.
**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.
▲*
▲*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>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22576251</ref>. He classified it as a paraphilia since, at the time, asexuality was considered a psychological disorder. This caused controversy with the name, with some not caring about the negative association and others choosing to reclaim the word while others chose to identify with the label "aegosexual". The term "aegosexual" was coined by Tumblr user Sugar-And-Spite, in November of 2014<ref>http://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 formulated with Latin roots, making the word easier to pronounce and discarding of the orientation's original perception as a paraphilia.
*Liking
▲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:

==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>
