Anegosexuality is a sexual orientation under the spectrum of Asexuality. As other Asexuals, people that are Anegosexual are lacking any desire to be a participant in the sexual activities themselves, but their specificity is that they may involve in sexual fantasies despite feeling a disconnection between oneself and a sexual target/object of arousal.
History
Anegosexuality used to be called Autochorissexuality. The term was coined by doctor Anthony F. Bogaert and it derived from ‘autochoris’ which translates to 'identity-less sexuality’. However the name was changed due to the fact that the doctor Bogaert called it a "paraphillia", which it was later confirmed it is not.
It is a subset of asexuality which is defined as: a disconnection between oneself and a sexual target/object of arousal; may involve sexual fantasies or arousal in response to erotica or pornography, but lacking any desire to be a participant in the sexual activities therein.
Anegosexuals are known to:
- Get aroused by sexual content but not actually want to engage in any sexual activities.
- Masturbate, but are neutral or repulsed by the idea of having sex with another person.
- Fantasize about sex, but envision people other than themselves, and/or view it in third person, as though they're watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through their own eyes.
- Predominantly or entirely fantasize about fictional characters or celebrities, rather than people in real life they know.
- Identify as asexual and feel no sexual attraction to people, but enjoy masturbating, are aroused by sexually explicit content, and/or have sexual fantasies.
What It Feels Like
Being Anegosexual is like getting aroused at idea of sex, but never wanting to engage in sexual acts yourself. Example: It is like watching a sport and enjoying watching it, but would never play it yourself.
