Are You Attracted to YOURSELF? (Autoerotism, Autosexuals, Erotic Target Identity Inversion)

All autosexuals (Erotic Target Identity Inversions) are autoerotic, but only a minority of autoerotics are autosexual. Autoerotism more frequently finds expression via activities such as same-sex partnerships (homosexuality), or incest (which is sex with the living expression of one’s own genetic makeup). Gender dysphoria, transvestism, autogynephilia, autopedophilia, and similar paraphilias are all autoerotic.
