We are all familiar with the concept of "feeling yourself"! Experience relating to your appearance, atmosphere and all-round existence on another level. But what happens when you only feel yourself and nothing else, all the time? Take notes: Call yourself autosexual!
This term refers to people who feel a sexual attraction to themselves. Autosexuality may seem like a person prefers to masturbate rather than have sex with another person, but this is not 100% the case.
This condition is often associated with narcissism, but experts agree that this is not an accurate way of thinking about autosexuality. Autosexuality is not the same as a narcissistic personality disorder, as narcissists seek admiration and attention from others and lack empathy. Instead, people who identify as autosexual are able to have relationships with others, but have a marked preference for sex with themselves.
5 signs that you may be autosexual
1. You prioritize self-pleasure: If self-pleasure is your primary way of enjoying sexual contact and it's something you prioritize over other forms of sexual activity, autosexuality may be an approach you identify with.
2. Want to see your reflection: Too many mirrors on the ceiling? If you're autosexual, mirrors take on a new meaning. They are not only an opportunity to create the illusion of porn, but actually facilitate sexuality in a fundamental way.
3. Only You Really Get Excited: You are the center of your sexual world.
4. You like to watch yourself in sex positions: You may be autosexual if you film yourself and watch the footage to get excited or to experience an orgasm.
5. You like a person similar to you: When you are autosexual, you may find that you are attracted to people who have similar physical features to you. You may be attracted to partners who look like you, even of the same gender.
