Kourtney Kardashian recently opened up about her sexuality expressing that she is more than likely autosexual. In a recent interview, the 41-year-old opened up about identifying as an autosexual claiming that ‘most women are even if it’s just a little.’ Being autosexual is a trait wherein an individual is turned on by engaging in their own eroticism when a woman is more aroused when she feels sexy within herself.

During the interview, Therapist and writer Casey Tanner asked the Kardashian if she would classify herself as autosexual to which she replied, ” The short answer is yes, most likely. In fact, we all are, at least a little.” Tanner further asserted that masturbation can also be termed as a form of autosexuality asserting, ” Autosexuality extends beyond sexual behaviour to include a feeling of desire for oneself. It can also be the ability to turn oneself on through looking at, visualizing, touching or smelling oneself. “

He further stated, “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.”

“Most people, however, incorporate autosexuality into a larger sexual repertoire that also includes being turned on by partnered sex.”

The Kardashian went on to explain what she does to get herself right into the mood, including doing her hair, and makeup and getting dressed up for herself. Kourtney revealed that she takes the opportunity to know her own body while taking a bath.

On her POOSH website, she wrote: “‘This might mean wearing sexy lingerie, even if your partner hardly gives it a second glance.

“It could mean doing your hair and makeup so that you feel good and turned on, even when you’ve been in a long-term monogamous relationship and the other party hardly notices.”

“And it could mean dancing in the mirror in a cute outfit. If feeling sexy independent of someone else has ever turned you on, that’s autosexuality, and it’s totally normal.”

“‘Many folks resist autosexuality, fearing that it’s narcissistic or might detract from partnered sex. In reality, autosexuality can be a healthy even valuable, part of your sex life.

“When we know how to turn ourselves on, we depend less on environmental cues to move us into a sensual headspace. When we look at or fantasize about ourselves, we are in touch with our bodies and senses.”
