Title: Sologamy
Post by: Sriram on March 05, 2019, 05:11:43 PM

Hi everyone,

Ever heard of sologamy?!

***********

Ghia Vitale, an autosexual and autoromantic who got engaged to herself in March 2017, is all set to tie the knot soon, media reports said.

Now touching 30, Vitale wants to normalise autosexuality. Speaking to Metro.co.uk she explained how she discovered her orientation and what it entails.

She first unlearned all preconceived notions about relationships and the idea that you have to be with another person for it to be valid.

"My definition of autosexuality is being attracted to yourself. I've been attracted to myself for as long as I've been cognisant of attraction.

"My earliest memories of checking myself out in the mirror and feeling attraction happened at around age seven. I didn't learn the term "autosexual" until after I graduated from college in 2013.

************

Cheers.

Sriram

The camp English comedian of yesteryear, Kenneth Williams, seems to have exhibited some of these characteristics.

So, how do such people regard mirrors?

Providing the opportunity to gaze upon their heart's desire? Or providing an unwelcome and unnecessary rival for their affections?

I thought it was called narcissism.
