What is autosexuality?

Understanding Autosexuality

Autosexuality is a sexual orientation in which people are attracted exclusively to themselves. It is considered a unique form of sexuality and is thought to be more common than people might think.

Although it is not recognized as a specific sexual orientation by the psychiatric community, autosexuality is considered a legitimate sexual orientation by many self-identified autosexuals.

There are a number of reasons why people might be attracted to themselves. Some believe that it has something to do with the way that people are physically unique and that they can appreciate that uniqueness in a way that other people cannot.

Others believe that a self-love is a form of self-care and that by being attracted to themselves, they are taking care of themselves in a way that other people cannot.

Whatever the reason, self-love and self-care are important topics to consider for anyone, regardless of sexual orientation.

What are the signs and symptoms of autosexuality?

There is no single answer to this question as everyone experiences autosexuality differently. However, there are some general signs and symptoms that typically accompany this condition.

Some of the most common signs and symptoms of autosexuality include intense interest in the opposite gender, intense sexual fantasies and thoughts involving the opposite gender, and a strong desire or need to engage in sexual activities with someone of the opposite gender.

People who experience autosexuality may also experience a range of other symptoms, including intense romantic and/or physical attraction to people of the opposite gender, a strong urge to disclose their feelings to someone of the opposite gender, and a strong desire or need to be close to someone of the opposite gender.

In some cases, autosexuals may also feel like they are not good enough or that they are not attractive enough. This can lead to a lot of self-loathing and can be a very difficult journey.

How is autosexuality diagnosed?
