AUTOCHORISSEXUALITY 39,316 notes In aid of Asexual Awareness Week, I've decided to make a post about autochorissexuality and just what it is The term 'autochoris' was coined by Anthony Bogaert, and essentially translates to 'identity-less sexuality'. It is a sub-section of asexuality, which he describes as A disconnection between oneself and the object of arousal; may involve sexual fantasies or arousal in response to erotica or p----------, but lacking any desire to be a participant in the activities therein. Essentially, we like the idea of sex, and/or enjoy reading/writing/watching sexual content, but don't actually experience attraction or want to have sex with anybod You might be autochorissexual if You get aroused by sexual content but don't actually want to engage in any sexual activities yourself You masturbate, but are neutral or repulsed by the idea of having sex with another person. . When you fantasize about sex, you envision people other than yourself, and/or you view it in third person, as though you're watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through your own eyes You predominantly or entirely fantasize about fictional characters or celebrities, rather than people you actually You identify as asexual and feel no sexual attraction to people, but enjoy masturbating, are aroused by sexually explicit content, and/or have sexual fantasies . . This isn't an exhaustive checklist, and ultimately nobody can give you a label but yourself. But hopefully this post has brought you a little closer to understanding autochorissexuality, whether you are asexual, grey/demi, questioning, confused, or just wanting to raise awareness Here are some further resources if you want to learn more: An essay on autochorissexualism vs lithsexuality, the flag (as depicted above, but without the text caption), Anthony Bogaert's short paper on Autochorissexualism, and my inbox is always open if you have any questions If you've found this post informative, please signal boost to help raise awareness and understanding about all the different aspects and subsections of asexuality!

From wikipedia on asexuality

"With regard to sexual activity in particular, the need or desire for masturbation is commonly referred to as sex drive by asexuals and they disassociate it from sexual attraction and being sexual; asexuals who masturbate generally consider it to be a normal product of the human body and not a sign of latent sexuality, and may not even find it pleasurable. Some asexual men are unable to get an erection and sexual activity by attempting penetration is impossible for them. Asexuals also differ in their feelings toward performing sex acts: some are indifferent and may have sex for the benefit of a romantic partner; others are more strongly averse to the idea, though they do not typically dislike people for having sex."

I don't see anything about "autochorissexuality" but the behavior itself doesn't sound too uncommon.
