'''Aegosexual''', previously known as '''autochorissexual''', is a [[Micro-Label|micro-label]] on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] that describes those who have a disconnection between themself and the subject of arousal. Aegosexuals may have sexual fantasies, view porn and other sexual content, or masturbate, but they generally feel little to no [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] and typically do not desire to have sex with another person. Some common aegosexual experiences include: ▼

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 the aegosexual person is not involved, they are only a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-person perspective, and not from the first person.▼

*Fantasizing about sex, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of sex less appealing or even repulsive.▼
*Perceiving someone as "hot" or recognizing someone as sexually attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having sex with the person in real life. The aegosexual person may instead prefer to fantasize about them.▼

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>▼

==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 in between 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>
