Definitions and Usage
Aegosexual, previously known as autochorissexual, is a micro-label on the asexual spectrum that describes those who enjoy the concept of sex but experience little to no sexual attraction themselves. Aegosexual people may be excited by the idea of sex, including having sexual fantasies and enjoying sex in media, but often times said fantasies are viewed from a third-person perspective or the perspective of another person entirely.

History
The term "autochorissexual" (etymology: Greek "auto", meaning "self", and Greek "choris", meaning "without") was created in 2012 by Canadian psychologist Dr. Anthony F. Bogaert, who classified it as a psychological disorder. The term "aegosexual" (etymology: Latin "a", meaning "without", and Latin "ego", meaning "self") was coined by Tumblr user sugar-and-spite to replace autochorissexual, which many in the asexual community felt was disrespectful and inaccurate. sugar-and-spite.

Related Terms
The prefix aego- can be combined with other attraction types to create terms such as aegoromantic, aegoalterous, etc. It also bears similarities with terms like cupiosexual.

Flags
Though flag meanings were not given at the time of coining, it can be assumed the colors correlate with the asexual flag and that the inverted triangle represents an aspect of aegosexuality.
