Here, she pondered if it’s possible that many of us, herself included, might find ourselves somewhere on the autosexuality spectrum.
It’s a scenario where the idea of self-pleasure, like masturbation, might be more appealing than sexual activities with a partner.
Kourtney, along with therapist and QueerSexTherapy founder Casey Tanner, dives into what it means to be autosexual, describing it as getting a buzz from your own erotic vibe.
“It can also be the ability to turn oneself on through looking at, visualizing, touching, or smelling oneself.”
“Like most human characteristics, autosexuality is a spectrum – and the majority of us are on it! Some may identify as exclusively autosexual, in which case they might consider autosexuality their sexual orientation.”
The piece went further, listing everyday actions that could spark self-attraction, such as slipping into some fancy lingerie for your own pleasure, doing your hair and makeup just because, or even the act of washing yourself with extra care and affection.
“If feeling sexy independent of someone else has ever turned you on, that’s autosexuality, and it’s totally normal,” the Kardashian added.
“When we look at or fantasize about ourselves, we are in touch with our bodies and senses,” she stated.
“Rather, it’s one additional tool in your box for sparking desire and passion.”
The article wrapped up with a call to embrace self-enjoyment without guilt, presenting it as a form of self-love rather than narcissism.
Kourtney herself seems to embody the idea that one can appreciate their own allure while still thriving in a loving and committed relationship, as seen with her husband, Travis Barker.
The photos show the happy family dressed in black, snuggling up with baby Rocky in both group and solo shots, captioned simply with “ROCKY” and a black heart emoji.
Meanwhile, Barker brings his own kids, Alabama Luella and Landon, plus stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya from his marriage to Shanna Moakler, into the blended family mix.
