'''Aego'''/'''Aego-''' (previously known as '''Autochoris'''/'''Autochoris-''') is an identity that describes those who have a disconnection between themself and the subject of arousaldesire or attraction. AegosexualsAegos may have sexual fantasies, or view porncontent andabout othertheir sexualdesire/object content, orof masturbateattraction, but they generally feel little to no [[Attraction]], andfeel attraction that are atypical with an [[Allo]]'s (disconnected 3rd person view), or typically do not desire to haveact sexon that desire with another person. Some common aegosexualAego experiences include:
*Enjoying or getting aroused by sexual content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for a sexual relationship in real life.
*Masturbating, but being [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Sex-indifferent neutralsex indifferent], neutral or [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Sex-repulsed repulsed] by the idea of having sex with another person.
*Fantasizing about sex, but the aegosexual 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 sex, but envisioning only other people, such as celebrities or fictional characters.
*Perceiving someone as "hot" or recognizing someone as sexually attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having sex with the person in real life. The aegosexual person may instead prefer to fantasize about them.
*Enjoying erotic content but getting turned on by the situation or relationship dynamics in story lines rather than by one's attraction to the people.
Aegosexuality is commonly linked to and compared with [[Ficto-|Fictosexuality]] due to both sexualities having a seperation between the object of attraction and the attracted, but these are two separate experiences and should not be used interchangeably.

==Flag==
The aegosexual flag is nearly identical to the asexual flag, but it possesses a triangle with an inverted order of colors. The triangle represents a "reverse" of asexuality, as aegosexuals are likely to be initially perceived as sexual people. The color associations remains the same with the asexual flag, with an extra meaning added to the grey stripe; along with [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Demisexual demisexuals] and [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Greyasexual greyasexuals], it represents the in-between of arousal.
An alternate flag was designed by an unnamed "member of the aegosexual community" on or before August 4, 2020.<ref>https://aegosexualpride.tumblr.com/post/625536937576595456/a-member-of-the-aegosexual-community-helped</ref> The color meanings are as follows: Purple represents community, likely coming from the asexual community. Gray represents the entire [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Asexual_Spectrum spectrum] of asexuality. Teal represents a disconnection between the self and attraction. Black represents asexuality.
An alternate version was created on August 8, 2020 by xeno-aligned<ref>https://xeno-aligned.tumblr.com/post/625867415855808513/a-member-of-the-aegosexual-community-helped</ref> which kept the triangle symbolism but used the colors of the alternate flag.
