Autosexual vs. Self-romantic

Basically, there is a distinction between a sexual relationship and a romantic one. The two are often similar, but there may be differences. Sexuality refers to sexual arousal and sexual needs. Romanticism, on the other hand, refers to romantic needs and closeness, which have nothing to do with sexual acts.

So if you get butterflies in your stomach when you look in the mirror, it could be self-romantic. These people feel a romantic attraction to their own body and to themselves that goes beyond the sexual. These feelings can also go to the extreme of wanting to start a relationship with oneself.

This makes the search for a partner superfluous. If there are also erotic tensions involved, you can be autosexual and autoromantic at the same time.
