Positively Aego!
Welcome to Positively Aego! We are an educational website and social space about the aegosexual community, a micro-label under the asexual community.
History
The term aegosexual was first introduced in 2012 by Dr. Anthony Bogaert under its original name, "autochorrissexual." Initially described as a type of paraphilia, a type of abnormal sexuality. However, as awareness and conversations about asexuality spectrum grew, the community redefined and embraced the term "aegosexual."This shift reflected a desire to foster positivity, inclusivity, and unity among individuals identifying within the asexual community. By adopting the term "aegosexual," the community has created a more supportive and empowering environment for self-expression and identity exploration.
About
Positively Aego was formed as a way to spread awareness and education about the aegosexual community as well as to show that the aegosexual community can be anywhere on the spectrum between sex negative (repulsion of sex), sex neutral (neutral towards sex), and sex amicable (happily consents to sex with a partner). Each flag at the top of each portion of the site shows a different proposed flag for the aegosexual community. It's up to community members which flags they prefer to use.
What Aegosexual Is In Practice
Everyone who identifies as aegosexual will approach the term slightly differently because the human experience is very unique. At the end of the day, the core meaning is "you don't fully connect with your sense of sexuality". It could be you dissociate during sex. It could be you enjoy the fantasy of sex (audio, visual, and/or written) but when it comes to actual sexual activities, you feel immediatly turned off by it. It could be sex is fun in the moment but you'd be perfectly okay if it never happened again to you if circumstances had it happen as such (or you just don't think about it when not having sex hardly ever). If people are experiencing active distress about this, please see a mental health professional. We never promote being mentally unwell.
