Autosexual was first used as a very specific term used by Bernard Apfelbaum, a PHD graduate in clinical psychology 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 yourself and is not a psychological or sexual abnormality. It was once considered to be a narcissistic trait, mischaracterizing both NPD & autosexuality. |

Narcissism & autosexuality are not the same thing and never were. The former is a disorder and not inherently linked to sexuality; the latter is a sexual orientation label that can be used by anyone of any neurotype. While some with NPD may prioritize their own sexual pleasure, this is not even close to autosexuality or the majority of those with NPD.<br /> |
