Autoeroticism or Autosexuality

[bikiniman]

After many years of deliberation I have reached a conclusion that I am not predominantly homosexual, bisexual or hetrosexual but predominantly Auto Sexual. I am predominantly sexually attracted to my own body. It sounds narcissistic but I am not. I am my own sex object. See article below

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolution-the-self/201308/are-you-your-own-sex-object

Some of the my autoerotic tendencies are

I like to masturbate in front of the mirror
I like to masturbate to photos and videos of myself
I find naked photos of myself more sexually arousing than photos of others
I enjoy masturbation more than sex with my partner.


Many of my sexual fantasises which I have for years mistaken as being homosexual are in fact Auto sexual. They are fantasies about having sex with myself.

If you look at my profile and photos I think you will see what I mean.

I have realised I visit this site primarily to look at pornographic images of myself not others. I get bored of the same old photos hence keep having to post new ones. I enjoy the positive comments of others because they reinforce the image of myself as a sex object.

I am pretty sure I am in the minority and would love to hear from anyone else with whom this resonates.

Hi
This is an interesting perspective. As I read it, I came back to an idea that being auto sexual and enjoying self pleasuring probably doesn't exclude the sexualities whether bisexual or monosexual. You state that you have a partner. I believe that it is a woman.

Are you denying all attraction to her in acknowledgement of being more interested (not the same as attracted) in sexually pleasuring yourself?

A quote from the article.

"Nonetheless, the great majority of individuals (regardless of how many autoerotic tendencies they might exhibit) show a decided preference for partner sex. For at a deeper level such encounters are more emotionallysatisfying. They’re warmer, more personal, and intimate—in a word, more fulfilling. On the other hand, those who are predominantly autoerotic seem more or less capable of having this same pleasing experience in solitude, since their pleasurably intense sexual relationship with self feels equally intimate and gratifying."

Tenni,

I am sexually attracted to my wife but I am more interested in sexually pleasuring myself. SO being Auto Sexual does not exclude other sexual orientations.

I find sexually pleasuring myself intimate and gratifying.

Again my sexuality is fluid I fluctuate from being Autosexual to Hetrosexual, but predominantly Autosexual.

Hmm. By that description, that puts me in the same ball park as you! Human sexuality is so complicated! Titles are so limited! Just call me "sexual"! I enjoy so many aspects of it (though I love taking erotic pics of myself as well :) )
