It describes people who may experience sexual attraction or fantasy but do not feel a desire to personally participate in sexual activity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"523\">The defining feature is a psychological separation between attraction and self-involvement. Someone who is aegosexual might enjoy romantic or erotic media or imagined scenarios, yet feel disconnected from the idea of being directly included in those experiences.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"782\">The concept was introduced in 2012 by psychologist Anthony Bogaert. While it was initially discussed in clinical terms, many researchers and advocates now recognize it as a valid identity rather than a disorder\u2014especially when it causes no distress or harm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1028\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">As understanding of diverse identities grows, language like this helps people describe their experiences more clearly.
