'''Aegosexual''' or '''anegosexual'''<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-085945/https://www.kinkly.com/definition/17639/aegosexuality}}</ref>, previously known as '''autochorissexual''', is a [[microlabel]] on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] that describes those who have a disconnection between themself and the subject of arousal. Aegosexuals may have sexual fantasies, view porn and other sexual content, or masturbate, but they generally feel little to no [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] and typically do not desire to have sex with another individual. Some common aegosexual experiences include:
*Enjoying or getting aroused by sexual content but lacking the same enthusiasm for a sexual relationship in real life.

==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://
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:
*Liking the idea of sex, and/or enjoying sexual content, but not actually experiencing attraction or wanting to have sex with anybody.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090258/https://kyethekoolguy.tumblr.com/post/161589828686/sexual-and-romantic-orientation-masterpost}}</ref>
*A individual who enjoys the idea of sexual relationships but does not wish to have one. (Associated with a disconnect between the individual and a sexual target/fantasy)<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090451/https://invincible-asexual.tumblr.com/post/118611718367/a-few-more-terms}}</ref>
*Feeling attraction and desire only for situations that do not involve one's self.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150905123406/https://pride-flags-for-us.tumblr.com/post/128023708253/is-there-an-autochrissexual-flag/</ref>
*Someone who feels sexual attraction, but does not want to participate in sex.<ref>{{Archive|URL=2022.02.15-090258/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 remains the same with the asexual flag, with an extra meaning added to the grey stripe; along with [[Demisexual|demisexuals]] and [[Greyasexual|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.
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.
Line 44:
Aego- is derived from Latin words with 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>
