Autosexuality
Autosexuality refers to sexual orientation and sexual behavior of attraction or romance that one holds exclusively, and expresses, towards oneself. Concurrently, autoeroticism is sexual stimulation of one's self.

Autoerotic interests include autogynephilia, apotemnophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, and analloeroticism.

An association between autogynephilia and apotemnophilia has been hypothesized by sexology researchers.
