I'm so glad more people are talking about aegosexuality now. I spent way too long thinking I couldn't be asexual because I could find hypothetical/fictional scenarios arousing, even though I had never experienced any sort of sexual attraction or desire in real life. It was very confusing. I had finally heard enough people saying "sexual attraction is separate from libido/arousal" to just start feeling comfortable calling myself "ace" when I first heard the definition of aegosexual, and suddenly everything made so much sense. Thank you for educating people about this!

I didn't realize I was aegosexual until I was watching a video about ace erasure. A guy was talking about his experience as an aegosexual and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Being older than most of your audience this was never talked about when I was a kid. Never knowing that aegosexual and aromantic was a thing, I tried to get relationships I was just not suited for to work and spent a lot of money on therapy. I'm much happier now not feeling I have to fit into a heteronormative/allonormative mold.

I found out about 30 minutes ago now that this sexuality is just... me... and I'm both relieved and terrified. I'm 28 years old, and I've always just put a big question mark over my sexuality, assuming I'm pretty much straight, but not really having much interest in sex (a friend told me years ago that I might be "asexual" but I didn't think about it too much) so having this word now, aegosexual... it's unbelievable that I've found something which actually fits. It's strange realising that I'm not just an ally who feels a certain kinship with this community, I'm like... actually PART of this LGBTQ+ community has seriously made me think.

I am Aegosexual and found out a little over a year ago. It feels a little weird saying this, but the way I experience it is through characters and OCs? I’m a bit of a textbook example of aegosexual, as I find the idea of intimate relationships between OCs to be like what an allo would get from thinking about whoever they’re sexually attracted to. When, if I ever view that kind of content, I project whatever ship I’m attracted to onto it lol, instead of self. It sounds really cringe, but I’ve never felt sexual attraction any other way.

I'm pretty sure this is what I am. I almost exclusively fantasize about fictional characters and scenarios. I don't really picture myself in these fantasies. At most, there might be a character who's my stand-in. There's a disconnect between me and my fantasies. I enjoy fetish-based erotica and artwork but actual sex kind of left me cold or uncomfortable. In terms of what tipped me off, my disastrous dating experiences and my dislike of/ambivalence about sex made me want to research asexuality. I was leaning towards demisexual or gray-asexual (and I may be one of those as well) but when I read about the various micro-labels, aegosexuality seemed to check a lot of boxes.

@@greenangelynn5774 this comment was from a while ago, but I feel like i could give some perspective as someone who feels like they can relate to these comments: I never in the history of being alive felt attracted enough to a person that I could confidently label it as a crush without a lot of question marks attached to it. Maybe 3 people tops. I've never felt a strong desire to date someone. I do consume erotic material, but this is done so occasionally and inconsistently (talking maybe a good few days in a week at once a month) that it would not be classified as an addiction. My libido is random and has no bearing on my ability to be attracted to people in real life and any attempt to act on sexual desires IRL usually diminishes the appeal a little bit. I will play out scenarios in my head, but the minute I imagine myself doing something in a first person perspective I am taken out of the fantasy. Sorry if that description was a little too much, but I dont think what I described is indicative of simple porn addiction. I will concede that my aversion to intimacy might contribute though.

So what tipped me off that I was aegosexual? Well for me it was that I realized that even when I got aroused it was almost directionless. Compared to how other people who were around me talked about it where sexual arousal was very directed sort of like a river and specific for me it was like a lake. Just sitting there. I could use (particularly) fictional characters to sort of drain this lake and then not think of it as it would only fill with rain. (This metaphor is getting a little away from me I think). That was one of the big clues I had towards my asexuality and being aegosexual (or as I knew it for years autochorisexual).

That sounds pretty close to how I feel. It's confusing and I still sometimes question if I'm greysexual, but your metaphor filled a hole in my logic! So I have a bf and we have relations, but not nearly as much as he'd like. Really I can go a long time without any urges, but then there's a day or so once every one or so months that suddenly I feel urges. But like you said, it's not yearning for anyone, just a feeling in and of itself... Sometimes I think, "Am I aroused at the thought of being aroused?" And yeah I can use images or audio clips to help me relieve myself. But they're more so to remind myself of my own arousal and how I feel rather than the subject of the media.. Same with my bf, I hype myself up for the act by imagining how I could feel during it, the thought of my bf himself doesn't get me there at all. And then it gets more confusing because I very rarely feel anything when looking at someone, but some folks have a certain feature or two that reminds me of my kink and I feel aroused seeing it, but am I attracted to those people? I can't imagine actually having relations with them, my mind never goes there, only to how I feel... This is all to say, it's been hard distinguishing what is libido/arousal, desire, and sexual attraction. Especially when you don't have sexual attraction to know what it feels like. How do you describe red to a blind person? Or even, how do we know we're all seeing the same red?

It was confusing to me hearing how friends/acquaintances would talk about their sexual attraction. Usually, the way they talked about people they were sexually attracted to was off-putting and sometimes degrading. However; when I learned about aegosexuality, it finally started making sense. I too am not particularly drawn to people just by looking at them. But if they happen to be wearing certain clothes that are "kinks" or turn-ons for me (i.e. tight leather pants, jeans, spandex/athletic shorts and pants), then I take notice. It's not the person as much as it is the clothing that is arousing.

I used to take a lot of quizzes to find out if I was bi. I was like “if I haven’t been attracted to a woman irl then how can I know? Does fictional women count?” completely ignoring that I had never been attracted to a man irl. All the quizzes would put me on asexual because I hadn’t had sex and I thought that was ridiculous, course I had lots of sexual fantasies and enjoyed sex and heavy romance in fiction. Then one day I read about aegosexuality and the entire list just fit me. And I was so confused and strangely relived at the idea of never actually having to have sex. That just watching things was enough. My friend was like “allosexual people don’t feel relived at the idea of never having to have sex. You sound asexual to me.” And now I have been trying to accept that this is probably my situation and not that I just haven’t met an attractive person in all of my 28 years.

For me when I started looking into the different labels to figure out if any of them fit me, I first looked up fictosexual, because any fantasies I've had has always revolved around fictional characters and not me. But I didn't feel like the descriptions for fictosexual really fit me, because it was all about having an attraction to fictional characters, and it's never been like that for me. I've never been part of any fantasy, it's always been fictional characters being with other fictional characters. So when I finally stumbled over aegosexual, the bells started ringing. I think the most important distinction for aego is not being part of the fantasy yourself. I've also started identifying with the aegoromantic label as well, not because I don't desire a romantic relationship (at least I do in theory), but because my romantic attraction switch seems to be in a (near) permanent off-position. I get super-involved with romantic depictions, shipping and I basically fall in love with the romance. Like I feel intensely about that, but in real life, there's ziltch. A fictional depiction of a kiss can give me all kinds of sensations, a real life kiss... has teeth, tongues, breath, sometimes stubble... and it's just kinda offputting for me.

What am I if I would like to have a person to be with, but not with just anyone? I'd really have to be in love with the man, because I'm not homosexual and I need to be able to completely trust before I'd even think of becoming remotely intimate. Kissing doesn't appeal to me at all though, I've always known I wouldn't like it. I am questioning my sexuality, but I never had much of an opportunity to explore it. I spent much of my time isolated or withdrawn from dating because I didn't like the mean and immature boys and was willing to wait until I was old enough to date mature men. Then later I discovered I'm attracted to brown men, especially Native Americans. The whole flirting thing is confusing to me. Making intimate connections is difficult for me and I've only dated a few times, each time only for one day before they left and never called back. That really hurt. I wanted them to at least call me back and let me know they weren't interested. I have no problem with rejection, just with being ghosted. I don't know if I can fall in love. I can love, I love two of my family members. I can care about others, but I've never made any real friends, just some acquaintances at work that end as soon as the job ends. I'm also in a very long term situation where dating is not the best thing for me. It might never be if I can't get a job and move out so I can have the privacy I need...and the lack of shame for never being able to move out of my mother's house. I can take care of myself so long as I have the money to do so, but I've never had the steady income I needed. Which also leaves me isolated because now I'm unemployed. And though on rare occasions I've felt lonely, I don't know if I'll ever be able to fall in love. I've learned to be mostly okay with that. I doubt anyone would want to get involved with me anyway and want to take the time to become friends first without wanting me to immediately jump into their laps and be all over them. I may never be able to connect romantically, and I'd be okay with that too. But I can't figure myself out. The only thing I've ever truly loved was my dream of independence and I've lost faith in that. I don't see myself living with anyone...at least not at first. I'm okay with not having any children. I can live with not ever finding out what having sex would be like. I've learned to be okay with never finding anyone. Most of the time I don't feel the need for sex of any kind. I used to, but that dropped off in my twenties. So, what am I? Just weird? (And no, I was never suicidal and I've learned to stop wanting to be dead. That isn't an issue anymore even thought the problems drove me to that haven't been resolved. I'm just able to pull myself together as often as needed and I don't even know how I'm doing it.)

On the fantasies regarding celebrities and fictional characters... As a demi-sexual, you usually dont have such feelings, fantasies or even crushes on those people.

I think I may be a bit aegosexual & demisexual. I love reading 'those' scenes in books and while I don't typically picture myself in the character's place, I do feel @roused reading them, and can definitely look at celebrities, fictional characters, thirst traps, etc. and think "they're HOT." I practice self-pleasure, and I do want to have $*x. However, I have no desire or urge to 'do it' with someone I have not formed an emotional connection with. The thought of personally having *that* without emotional connection just makes me cringe. Thank you for this!

For me this label applies best for all the reasons stated. But also, I'm not repulsed by the physical act of sex itself. Personally. I'm more indifferent. It doesn't do anything for me unless I escape into my own head with my characters. So just also know that you can have sexual activities as an aegosexual person for, say, your partner's happiness and just not be into it yourself.

I feel that it is more of a release of tension for me as an aegosexual than anything else, I usually use it to release stress. I had no idea until I was like 17 talking with friends that people think about others that way, it is interesting being a sex repulsed aegosexual it was very confusing when I was trying to find a label to fit me. I didn't even know what asexuality was until Red from OSP explained it in some videos, and I was like oh that sounds about right. But having videos like this one would have likely made my life a lot easier when I was trying to figure this stuff out. So thank you for this video!

I've experienced a huge amount of confusion regarding sorting out my own sexuality because I can't seem to find anyone else in the same category as me. Aegosexual sounds like it's finally in the ballpark but still not on target. I experience feelings of attraction, which I have come to refer to as crushes, really commonly; however while I may respond to these feelings similar to how most people do, the differences have been enough to make people ask questions. I don't understand most forms of romantic physical contact and they generally don't appeal to me. I am far from being asexual, I'd say I fantasize about sexual things as often or nearly as often as an allosexual. But another thing is that I'm not always comfortable with having sexual feelings. Being horny doesn't typically cause me to want to engage in sexual activity, but might instead just bother me and make me wish I had a medicine to shut it off. I oscillate between being very sexual and very nonsexual over a timespan of months to over a year, and I'm happiest and most content during the nonsexual phase. I am currently thinking I am aromantic but I never thought this could be the case until recently; I have often considered myself to be something of a romantic, although my romantic expression seems entirely different from that of allosexuals. The allosexual idea that friends and sexual partners are two distinct categories is anathema to me--while I am not at all opposed to the idea of having a one night stand with someone I just met (I often want that), I can't imagine knowing a person, being sexual with them, and not being really close friends. "Friends with benefits" is the long-term relationship setup which appeals most to me. I don't experience jealousy the way most allosexuals do over the thought of any of my sexual partners being interested in other people. If I like them, I want them to be happy. If banging someone else makes them happy, I fail to see what is the problem. And then when I _don't_ get jealous, my allosexual partner may think that I don't love them. I've had partners set me up for jealousy just to test me, and thanks to my most recent girlfriend I finally managed to connect the dots on that one, because she gave me the same test but was so determined to have me pass the test that she basically schooled me on what the correct answers were. Figuring myself out has always been difficult. For the entirety of my childhood and a good fraction of my adulthood I felt like simply an outcast, an alien, just different from absolutely everyone else. When I finally started to figure out some of the groups I fit into, it started to get even weirder because I kept adding groups to the list and still not covering all the bases. Though realizing I belong to so many minority categories has helped to explain why many of them initially don't appear to fit. But then it seems like no matter how many I discover, there will always be more. Figuring out who I am sometimes doesn't seem to make me feel any less alien. My list so far: - autistic/HFA/Asperger - sexually attracted to females - not alloromantic, likely aromantic - not allosexual but not asexual - male sex, yet woman-brained - I consider myself transgender - ADHD, possibly severe - probably others which I can't remember at the moment If any of you can tell me where I might fit, please chime in!

The relief I felt this morning when I finally came across this term and realized it was ME. I finally have terminology to describe exactly how I feel and it makes me want to cry, to be honest. After dating a couple of guys in college, I had one boyfriend who made a huge deal about me never wanting to have sex/me feeling bored by it (as much as I tried to hide it because I didn't WANT to not want sex because that wasn't "normal"), I began to realize I may be asexual. (And I still desired a romantic relationship). However the term never quite fit because as much as the thought of sex with anyone in real life actively repulsed me, I definitely was able to experience sexual pleasure through third person fantasies in fanfiction. I always thought that's just how people viewed sex scenes/porn- like without involving themselves buuut apparently not haha. It wasn't until I was ironically reading a fanfic this morning where the author wrote a character as asexual. The author talked about their own experiences and they wrote that into the fic and how asexuality is a spectrum. Reading that and then the subsequent comments on that fic made me realize there was WAY more to asexuality than I'd originally thought and I began to look up microlabels mentioned in the comments. And lo and behold: Here I am! 31 and finally with a label that I strongly identify with for the first time in my life. It's hard to sum up my feelings beyond the huge sense of relief- seeing so many people commenting here with the same experiences - I've always thought I was SO different than anyone else but it's amazing to know I'm not. Eventually going forward trying to find a romantic partner with this new label in mind is a whole other ball of anxiety I don't have the headspace for right now, but for now I'm so grateful and I will leave it at that! Nobody here is alone! 🩵 Thanks for sharing, everyone.

Wow! That could actually be me, at least to a point! I seem to only be interested in romantic/erotic fiction/celebrity crushes, but not so much sex in real life, mainly because I'm concerned about any unintended consequences of it. In other words, I'm not repulsed by sex itself but simply worried about unplanned pregnancy, STDs, and other repercussions, even with the most effective birth control in the world used properly; it's just not a risk I'm willing to take in my childbearing years unless I see myself spending my life with this person. I never thought of myself as asexual (only aromantic) since I can still get pleasure but maybe some types of asexuality differentiate between self pleasure/fantasies and the act of doing it in real life?

😅 I figured it out because explicit content is arousing but the actual act of sex is not so much UNLESS I feel alot of romantic feelings toward them. So really I identify as both Aegosexual and Demisexual. But mostly real life people usually don't produce sexual attraction. It's uncommon for me. I still feel romantic and Esthetic attraction but that doesn't equate to "wanna smash"... it's complicated.

I feel like I'm stuck between demisexuality and aegosexuality :( I have the 'emotional bond' part of demisexuality, but I'm missing the 'doesn't imagine self in sexual fantasies' part of aegosexuality. I listen to NSFW ASMR videos and I imagine myself in those and, when I write dirty fanfiction or whatever, I always have it be between myself and whichever fictional/celebrity crush. I'm not sure if that's enough to make me NOT aegosexual, but I feel more comfortable with that label. I wish someone could just walk up to me and be like, "This is your gender and sexual orientation and here is why," so I don't have to worry about self-identifying under the wrong label all the time.

But it's not something I need. And I don't really fantasise about it at all. I'm not sure if the term Aegosexual entirely applies to me but it comes closer than a lot of other labels I have heard.

@@greenangelynn5774 ok so, from a quick Google search you can easily find the symptoms of an actual porn addiction. Like with any other kind of addiction, people with a porn addiction watch porn to feel pleasure. That's the basis of any addiction. However, people with a porn addiction will do anything to watch porn, because they want that pleasure. The difference between a porn addiction and aegosexuality is aegosexuals do not depend on pornography for pleasure. They literally just have normal lives. They don't spend every waking moment trying to watch porn. I've been seeing your replies and watching you spread this misinformation is just vile. You have no idea what you're talking about, especially when you say that this is just a porn addiction. What about Aegosexual people who don't watch porn? Do they have a porn addiction too? Also, some people generally don't desire relationships, whether sexual, romantic or other. Tl;Dr Aegosexual people don't depend on porn for pleasure, you don't know what an actual porn addiction is, stop spreading misinformation and do some research before claiming anything.

Attraction is different from libido. Asexuality definitely exists on a spectrum. Just like with any other sexual orientation, there's a range of experiences and identities within the ace community. Some asexual people might feel zero sexual attraction, while others might experience it occasionally or under really specific circumstances. Denying the spectrum of asexuality overlooks the various experiences and identities within the community.
