Aegoromantic

Aegoromantic, also known as Autochorisromantic, is an Aspec identity (specifically Aro-spec) that describes those who have a disconnection between themselves and the subject of romantic fantasies. Aegoromantics may have romantic fantasies or enjoy romantic content, but they generally feel little to no romantic attraction and typically do not desire to have romance with another person.

Some common Aegoromantic experiences include:
 * Enjoying romantic content, but lacking the same enthusiasm for a romantic relationship in real life.
 * Enjoying "shipping" and maybe also self-shipping, but being indifferent or repulsed by the idea of having romance with another person.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but the aegoromantic person is not involved, they are only a disembodied observer viewing it from a third-person perspective, and not from the first person.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but envisioning only other people, such as celebrities or fictional characters.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but it involves generic, faceless people, not specific people.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but through the perspective of another person rather than as one's actual self.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but only imagining oneself, and no other people.
 * Fantasizing about romance, but it is idealized and unrealistic. Adding realistic elements to the fantasy makes the idea of romance less appealing or even repulsive.
 * Perceiving or recognizing someone as romantically attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having a romantic relationship with the person in real life. The aegoromantic person may instead prefer to fantasize about them.
 * Enjoying romantic content but more for the situation or relationship dynamics in the story lines rather than by one's attraction to the people.

Etymology
Dr. Bogaert derived the term from the phase "Autochoris", meaning "sexuality without identity".

Aego is derived from Latin words with A- meaning "without" and Ego meaning "myself", making the whole word translate to "romantic without myself".
