Soloamory or sologamy is a form of self-love found in autosexual/autoromantic individuals. It is a form of self-amory/gamy, and may involve having a relationship with oneself or marrying oneself. A sologamous individual may participate in self-marriage performatively or culturally, while celebrating singledom.[1] This may be related to self-partnering, however it is not a requirement.[2]
History
It is unknown when the term was coined, however, its oldest reference is in the Urban dictionary on February 18th of 2013.[3]
Flag
The soloamorous flag was coined on July 3rd, 2018 by an anonymous submission to the Tumblr blog beyond-mogai-pride-flags. It has no confirmed meaning. The pi symbol in the soloamorous flag also has no confirmed meaning, though it is thought to mean having infinite love for oneself.
The alternate solamorous flag was designed by Tumblr user neopronouns posted on July 22, 2022, with sigma (σ) instead of pi symbol (π).[4]
