'''Aegosexual''', previously known as '''Autochorissexual''', is an identity that describes those who have a disconnection between themselves and the subject of sexual fantasies or attraction. Aegosexuals may have sexual fantasies, view porn and other sexual content, or masturbate, but they generally feel little to no [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] and typically do not desire to have sex with another person, or experience sexual attraction that are atypical with an [[Allosexual]]'s.
Some common Aegosexual experiences include:
*Enjoying or getting aroused by sexual content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for a sexual relationship in real life.
*Masturbating, but being [[Sex-Indifferent|indifferent]] or [[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.
*Fantasizing about sex, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.
* Fantasizing about sex, but through the perspective of another person rather than as one's actual self.
*Fantasizing about sex, but only imagining oneself, and no other people.
*Fantasizing about sex, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of sex less appealing or even repulsive.
* 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 the story lines rather than by one's attraction to the people.

==Etymology==
Some Aegosexuals were also uncomfortable with Bogaert's definition of Autochorisexual, which remained the widely used definition for Aegosexual. 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:
*Liking the idea of sex, and/or enjoying sexual content, but not actually experiencing attraction or wanting to have sex with anybody. A person who enjoys the idea of sexual relationships but does not wish to have one.
