We live in a time in which anything goes and honestly, it would be difficult to find something that would be shocking or alarming to us at this point. The Kardashians have certainly played their part in this, and now Kourtney Kardashian is coming out in an unusual way.
Her fans have been wondering if she was autosexual. She had spoken about her lifestyle on her website, and the article seemed to indicate that she was leaning in that direction.
The piece was: “Are you low key autosexual?” And the 44-year-old discussed the possibility that it could be the case. In fact, she said that everyone could possibly be on that spectrum, including herself.
In case you are unaware; when you are autosexual, you are more attracted to yourself than others and you may prefer to masturbate rather than have sex with a partner.
According to one supposed expert in the field, it is defined as ‘A trait wherein one is turned on by engaging in their own eroticism.’
That expert went on to say: “While masturbation is the most obvious example, autosexuality may extend beyond sexual behavior to include feeling a longing or desire for oneself. It can also be the ability to turn oneself on through looking at, visualizing, touching, or smelling oneself.”
The expert went on to say that it tends to appear on the spectrum. She said: “Like most human characteristics, autosexuality is a spectrum – and the majority of us are on it! Some may identify as exclusively autosexual, in which case they might consider autosexuality their sexual orientation. Most people, however, incorporate autosexuality into a larger sexual repertoire that also includes being turned on by partnered sex.”
Kardashian spoke about it, saying that you could feel attracted to yourself, even if your partner is not giving you a second glance. It may involve beautifying yourself in a loving way.
Kardashian went on to say: “If feeling sexy independent of someone else has ever turned you on, that’s autosexuality, and it’s totally normal.”
“When we look at or fantasize about ourselves, we are in touch with our bodies and senses. Getting turned on by oneself does not mean you think you’re better than other people, that you’re selfish, or that you’re not attracted to your partner(s). Rather, it’s one additional tool in your box for sparking desire and passion.”
