'''Aegosexual''' or '''anegosexual'''<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-085945/https://www.kinkly.com/definition/17639/aegosexuality}}</ref>,
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 individual is not involved, they are only a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-individual perspective, and not from the first individual.▼
*Fantasizing about sex, but

**envisioning only other individuals, such as celebrities, fictional characters, or even friends.
* Fantasizing about sex, but through the perspective of another individual rather than as one's actual self.▼

*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.▼
**only imagining oneself, and no other individuals.
* Perceiving someone as "hot" or recognizing someone as sexually attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having sex with the individual in real life. The aegosexual individual may instead prefer to fantasize about them.▼

*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:▼
▲Some aegosexuals were
*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>▼

==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 individuals. The color associations
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>
