Am I an autosexual?

i'm terrible at naming

I' not sure whether or not I classify as an autosexual, I do find myself attractive, and I am aroused by the sight of myself, but I also feel attracted to those who look like myself, or fit into the same visual category as me. This possibly means that i could be attracted to somebody else, but I have never met someone I have been attracted to in real life (people who look like me seem nonexistant in reality)

Is there a term for me, or have I just described every autosexual?

Wait, you feel sexual desires for people who looks like you? Well, then you aren't autosexual.

Now, if you only feel sexual desires for yourself, yeah you are autosexual.

You should wait, it's not everyday anybody from any orientation find someone attractive walking down the street. Like seriously, for example, just bc a guy is straight doesn't mean he find all women sexually attractive.

I must play the part of the clueless sexual here.

"Is this really a thing?"

I know my cousin likes to flex to himself in the mirror, but being attracted to oneself? That's new to me. And what IS it called if you're attracted to other people, if they look like you? I feel like this HAS to be some frontier exploring stuff.

Oh well, feeling arousal bc of yourself is a thing, if i'm not wrong it's called egophilia and not narcisism. It's as normal as any other sexual attraction (gynephilia, androphilia, ambiphilia, etc).

There's also autoromantic persons and usually they have candlelit dinners by theirselves.

There is also self sexual which I believe is that you can only experience sexual pleasure by... well, doing it yourself. Don't know if that's the same as autosexual or not though.

Autosexuality has nothing to do with masturbation.

Autosexual has been a "thing" forever lol. Just means you find yourself attractive, are aroused by yourself, and enjoy/desire sex most with yourself.

Did you not read what the OP wrote? Why answer if you're not going to read it? The OP said they've never actually met someone who looks like them, and yes only being attracted to yourself and the idea of people who look like you can still fall under autosexuality.

Quote: "There's also autoromantic persons and usually they have candlelit dinners by theirselves."

Um that's called being single. Autoromantic means you're romantically attracted to yourself.

Quote: "Autosexuality has nothing to do with masturbation"

Autosexuality is characterised by wanting to fuck yourself because you're more attracted to (and have more desire for) yourself over any other person.. having a preference to have sex with yourself more than any other person. Literally getting horny by the thought and sight and idea of yourself, and "fucking yourself" (ie masturbation, or some autosexuals dream of having a double of themselves, someone who looks just like them, to fuck.. they still masturbate though of course and that's their preferred method to have sex)

Autosexuals do often still fuck other people, but don't find any real pleasure in it and would much rather just be masturbating/having sex with themselves (in the same way an ace might fuck a partner who wants it and even orgasm, but experience no real pleasure and would much prefer to just be gaming or reading or whatever.. Or the way a gay man might fuck a woman to "look straight" and orgasm, but he'd much rather be fucking a guy)

So yup from everything the OP said, they sound just like an autosexual to me.
