Autosexuality Explained: What It Means to Be Attracted to Yourself

What if your most meaningful romantic or sexual relationship wasn't with another person—but with yourself?

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores autosexuality and autoromanticism—identities where romantic or sexual attraction is directed inward rather than toward others. While these identities are often misunderstood, they offer a fascinating perspective on love, intimacy, relationships and self-connection.

You'll hear from Ghia Vitale, who shares what it really means to be autosexual and autoromantic, what self-romance looks like in everyday life, and the misconceptions they've encountered. Together, we explore how these identities challenge conventional ideas about attraction, sexuality, self-love and human connection.

Whether you've never heard of autosexuality before or you're curious to learn more, this conversation offers an open-minded and thought-provoking look at one of the lesser-known identities on the sexuality spectrum.
