Kardashian Sister Comes Out As ‘Autosexual’ – Here’s What It Means

*Note: This story originally made headlines in March 2024.*

Kourtney Kardashian Barker has ignited conversation about “autosexuality” after her lifestyle brand, Poosh, featured an article exploring the concept. Autosexuality involves being attracted to one’s own self-image and eroticism—a topic that intrigued fans and prompted speculation about whether Kourtney is sharing a personal perspective.

The Poosh article asks, “Are you autosexual?” and suggests that most people are to some degree. Casey Tanner, founder of QueerSexTherapy, defines autosexuality as becoming aroused by engaging with one’s own erotic self. This can mean feeling more confident and alive when appreciating one’s attractiveness, which can boost self-esteem and enrich relationships.

Tanner explains that autosexuality varies but often includes simple acts like dressing up for oneself, admiring one’s reflection, or enjoying self-care routines like wearing lingerie or dancing solo. These behaviors, even without a partner, are natural and can enhance sexual well-being.

The article also addresses stigma, as many hesitate to embrace autosexuality fearing it might seem self-absorbed. However, Tanner argues that accepting it can deepen comfort in one’s skin and improve intimacy with partners.

Kourtney, who married musician Travis Barker last year and recently welcomed their son Rocky, is known for pushing boundaries. The couple recently faced backlash for a provocative Halloween skeleton display, reflecting their unapologetic lifestyle. Whether personal or educational, Poosh’s spotlight on autosexuality keeps fans intrigued and talking.
