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 pornography, 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 anybody.

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 know.

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!

staying up til 4 AM doesnt hurt in the moment but it does in the longrun meanwhile waking up at 4 AM hurts in the momentbut less in the long run. additionally staying up til 4 AM feels like an extension of the day but suddenly things get A Little Weird whereas waking up at 4 AM feels like entering an alternate dimension briefly and then slowly re-entering normality as the sun rises. hope this helps

The Winchesters truly is my favorite kind of fanfiction where the world and characters are so well-drawn that you COULD read it as a standalone work, but it's infinitely crunchier if you know the source material and see all the parallels and callbacks and ways the author wants to fight canon in a parking lot.

What’s going to make you happy right now? Is it some cake? Is it a nap? Is it calling your mom? Is it going on a drive and blasting music? Is it taking a bath? Is it reading a book?

Check in with yourself because you deserve that happiness, whatever it is.
