Autosexual

Autosexual usually refers to a person who feels sexual attraction to themselves and may become aroused by their own body, image, or fantasies involving themselves.

Some autosexuals also prefer masturbation or other forms of self-pleasure over partnered sex, though others may enjoy both. They may engage in self-pleasure privately or in the presence of others. Many autosexuals also enjoy masturbating with partners, including people who are not autosexual.

Autosexuals may be more physically attracted to themselves than to others, or they may have strong attraction to others but still choose solo sexual expression as their preferred outlet.

The term is sometimes confused with solosexual, which specifically refers to people who primarily or exclusively engage in solo sex. While the two identities can overlap, autosexuality emphasizes self-directed attraction, whereas solosexuality emphasizes solo sexual practice.
