Aegosexuality, also known as anegosexual[1], formerly known as autochorissexual[2], is a sexual orientation characterized by experiencing little to no sexual attraction, but enjoys depictions of sexual activities.[3]
Ethymology
editDr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase "autochoris", meaning "sexuality without identity".
Aego- is derived from Latin words with the prefix "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-".[4]
Definition, identity and relationships
editAegosexuality is defined as "people who experience a disconnect between themselves and the subject of arousal".[5] Aegosexuality, sometimes, may also be called anegosexual.[2] It is part of the asexuality spectrum. Other definitions of said sexuality includes:
- Liking the idea of sex, and/or enjoying sexual content, but not actually experiencing attraction or wanting to have sex with anybody.[6]
- An individual who enjoys the idea of sexual relationships but does not wish to have one.[7]
- Feeling sexual attraction and desire only for situations that do not involve oneself.[8]
- Someone who feels sexual attraction but does not want to participate in sex.[9]
Aegosexual people experience sexual attraction, arousal, and desire in response to sexual stimuli.[5]
Clinical sexologist and sex therapist, Elyssa Helfer, Ph.D. explains that aegosexual people don't even imagine themselves being in a sexual activity, no matter how they're aroused sexually. The term aegosexuality was first called autochorissexuality back in 2012 by Dr. Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist specializing in human sexuality. As aegosexuality falls under the asexual umbrella, it was first considered a psychological disorder and paraphilia (experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals). The term autchorissexuality itself is derived from the phrase "autochoris", which means "sexuality without identity".[5]
