==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 "sexual without myself".▼
==History==
The term Autochorisexualautochorisexual was coined by Dr. Anthony Bogaert, a psychologist who specializes in human sexuality, in 2012.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22576251</ref>. He classified it as a paraphilia since, at the time, Asexualityasexuality was considered a psychological disorder. This caused controversy with the name, with some not caring about the negative association and others choosing to reclaim the word while others chose to identify with the label "Aegosexualaegosexual". The term "aegosexual" was coined by Tumblr user Sugar-And-Spite, in November 2014<ref>http://sugar-and-spite.tumblr.com/post/101478696189/autochoris-is-a-bit-of-a-mouthful</ref>. 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.
Some Aegosexualsaegosexuals were also uncomfortable with Bogaert's definition of Autochorisexualautochorisexual, which remained the widely used definition for Aegosexualaegosexual. Other definitions were coined as a result, with varying takes on whether or not aegosexuals experience sexual attraction. Some of these definitions are as follows:▼
