Autosexual refers to individuals who are primarily sexually attracted to themselves rather than others. This orientation can be distinct or coexist with other sexual orientations. Autosexual people often find that their main source of sexual desire or attraction is directed inward and can include feeling most aroused by their own body or engaging in sexual activities alone. This orientation does not necessarily mean that an autosexual person cannot or does not engage in relationships with others; it simply reflects where their primary sexual attraction lies.
Javier always felt a deep sense of connection and self-sufficiency when it came to attraction. While his friends discussed crushes or romantic interests, Javier found himself feeling most comfortable and fulfilled when focusing on himself. One day, during a candid conversation about sexuality, his friend Luna asked why Javier seemed so content on his own. Javier smiled and said, “I think I’m just more attracted to myself. It sounds strange, but I feel more aroused and satisfied when I’m by myself than with someone else.” Luna paused, intrigued, and shared that she had read about autosexuality online. Hearing this, Javier felt relieved to know there was a term that fit his experience. “That’s exactly it,” he said, feeling validated. Understanding that he was autosexual helped Javier navigate conversations about his identity without feeling misunderstood. He embraced it, appreciating how it allowed him to have a relationship with himself that was unique and fulfilling, showing him that attraction could be diverse and personal.
