Aegosensual

Aegosensual, also known as Autochorissensual, is an identity that describes those who have a disconnection between themselves and the subject of sensual fantasies or attraction. Aegosensuals may have fantasize about touch, but they generally feel little to no sensual attraction, typically do not desire to have touch with another person, or experience sensual attraction that are atypical with an Allosensual's.

Some common Aegosensual experiences include:


 * Enjoying sensual content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for touch in real life.
 * Enjoying fantazising touches (hugs, cuddles, hand-holding, etc), but being indifferent or repulsed by the idea of touching another person.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but the Aegosensual person is not involved, they are only a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-person perspective, and not from the first person.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but envisioning only other people, such as celebrities or fictional characters.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but through the perspective of another person rather than as one's actual self.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but only imagining oneself, and no other people.
 * Fantasizing about touch, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of touch less appealing or even repulsive.
 * Perceiving or recognizing someone as sensually attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of actually touching the person in real life. The Aegosensual person may instead prefer to fantasize about them.
 * Enjoying content with touch frequent in it but more for the situation or relationship dynamics in the story lines rather than by one's attraction to the people.

Aegosensual is an identity under the Asensual Spectrum, and more broadly, the A-spectrum.

Etymology
Dr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase "Autochoris", meaning "sexuality without identity".

Aego is derived from Latin words with A- meaning "without" and Ego meaning "myself", making the whole word translate to "sensual without myself".

Pronunciation



 * Ay-go-sen-shoo-l
 * Ah-ee-go-sen-shoo-l
 * Ah-eh-go-sen-shoo-l

History
The prefix "Aego-" was originally from Aegosexual and was coined by tumblr user Sugar-And-Spite, in November of 2014. The term is meant to have the same meaning as "Autochorisexual", but formulated with Latin roots, making the word easier to pronounce and discarding of the orientation's original perception as a paraphilia.

The first use of "Aegosensual" itself is currently unknown.

Flag
The Aegosensual flag has the same placement of colors as the Aegosexual flag, but with the purple replaced with the pale orange of the Asensual flag. The Aegosensual variation is presumably made by Deviantart user Pride-Flags (also known as tumblr user Pride-Color-Schemes), modeled after tumblr user HunterInABrown's Aegosexual flag design.
