Anegoromantic, previously known as autochorisromantic and also known as aegoromantic, is an aspec identity (specifically arospec) that describes those who have a disconnection between themselves and the subject of romantic fantasies or attraction. Anegoromantics may have romantic fantasies or enjoy romantic content, but they generally feel little to no romantic attraction, typically do not desire to have romance with another person, or experience romantic attraction that are atypical with alloromantics'.

Some common anegoromantic experiences include:

  • Enjoying romantic content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for a romantic relationship in real life.
  • Enjoying "shipping" and maybe also self-shipping, but being indifferent or repulsed by the idea of having romance with another person.
  • Fantasizing about romance, but the anegoromantic 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 romance, but envisioning only other people, such as celebrities or fictional characters.
  • Fantasizing about romance, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.
  • Fantasizing about romance, but through the perspective of another person rather than as one's actual self.
  • Fantasizing about romance, but only imagining oneself, and no other people.
  • Fantasizing about romance, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of romance less appealing or even repulsive.
  • Perceiving or recognizing someone as romantically attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having a romantic relationship with the person in real life. The anegoromantic person may instead prefer to fantasize about them.
  • Enjoying romantic content but more for the situation or relationship dynamics in the story lines rather than by one's attraction to the people.

Etymology

Dr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase "Autochoris", meaning "sexuality without identity". This term is out of use as it was initially used to describe a fetish. Anegosexuality and anegoromanticism are not fetishes, but are instead orientations.

Anego is derived from Latin: the prefix "an" negates the root word of "ego" (meaning "self") with the suffix "romantic" meaning romantic attraction. "Aneogromantic" therefore literally translates to "(a person who experiences) romantic attraction without themself."

Pronunciation
