• Autosexual

  What if the most meaningful romantic or sexual connection you could have… was with yourself?In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores the identity of autosexuality and autoromanticism — where a person’s primary experience of attraction and intimacy is self-directed.You’ll hear from Ghia Vitale, who identifies as both autosexual and autoromantic, as she shares what this identity means to her, what self-romance actually looks like, and the common misconceptions she faces.This isn’t about narcissism, ego, or rejecting others. It’s about discovering new ways to understand love, connection, and identity — in a world that often tells us there's only one way to be.Whether you’ve heard of autosexuality before or this is your first time encountering it — this episode is a gentle, thoughtful invitation to look inward.Autosexuality 101: http://www.quailbellmagazine.com/the-real-20/autosexuality-101-the-autosexual-cheat-sheetA massive thank you to Ghia Vitale.Keep up with her happenings on Instagram @angel0fthe0dd Check out her website: https://angeloftheodd.comQuail Bell Magazine: http://www.quailbellmagazine.comThis episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.
