'''Autosexual''' is a [[sexual orientation]] on the [[asexual spectrum]] when one experiences [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] primarily or exclusively towards oneself; and can occur in many forms as follows:
# Having a hard time responding to someone's sexual touch, but being able to or is comfortable with self pleasing like masturbation.
Line 16:
Autosexual was first used as a very specific term used by Bernard Apfelbaum, a PHD graduate in clinical psychology, in 1989, in his work on the book "Principles and Practice of Sex Therapy". He considered it as a sexual abnormality. Often autosexuals do not seek out sexual relationships as it is simply a way of life and how they feel about others; it is strictly the attraction to oneself and is not a psychological or sexual abnormality. It was once considered to be a narcissistic trait, mischaracterizing both NPD & autosexuality.
