Kourtney Kardashian comes out as 'autosexual'; here's what it means

American socialite and media personality Kourtney Kardashian has identified herself as an ‘autosexual’. This was back in 2020 after an article was published on her website Poosh.

What does the term mean?

A therapist Casey Tanner helped define the term for the readers and said, “A trait wherein one is turned on by engaging in their own eroticism.” The definition added, “Autosexuality may extend beyond sexual behavior to include feeling a longing or desire for oneself,” Tanner explains. “It can also be the ability to turn oneself on through looking at, visualizing, touching, or smelling oneself.”

Fans react

One comment read- “Really brave of Kourtney Kardashian to come out as autosexual today nothing but support for our troops.” Another one said, “When Kourtney Kardashian said she was autosexual & turns herself on I felt that.”

Last year, Kardashian and musician Travis Barker welcomed their first child, a baby boy.
