Revision as of 14:21, 14 August 2020
Autochorisexual or aegosexual is a micro-label on the asexual spectrum that describes those who have a disconnect between themself and the subject of arousal. Autochorisexuals may have sexual fantasies, watch porn, or masturbate, but do not feel sexual attraction and do not desire to have sex with another person. Often times, their sexual fantasies are viewed from a dissociative third-person perspective, and not from the first person. They usually involve other people, such as fictional characters or celebrities with the autochorisexual person taking a 'passive' role within such fantasies, where they are only a disembodied observer.
History
The term autochorisexual was coined by Dr. Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist who specializes in human sexuality, in 2012[1]. 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[2]. 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.
Flag
The autochorisexual 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 autochorisexuals are likely to be initially perceived as sexual people. The color associations remains the same with the asexual flag, with an extra meaning added to the grey stripe; along with demisexuals and greyasexuals, it represents the in-between of arousal.
An alternate flag was designed by an unnamed "member of the aegosexual community" on or before August 4, 2020.[3] The color meanings are as follows: 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[4] which kept the triangle symbolism but used the colors of the alternate flag.
Etymology
Dr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase 'autochoris', meaning 'sexuality without identity'.
Aego- is derived from latin words with a- meaning 'without' and ego meaning 'myself', making the whole word translate to 'sexual without myself'.
