solosexual

Abbreviation: SOL | SL

Solosexual refers to a person who primarily or exclusively expresses their sexuality through solo sex, such as masturbation, self-bondage, or other forms of self-pleasure.

A solosexual may or may not be autosexual. Some are strongly attracted to themselves, while others are very attracted to other people but prefer to enjoy that attraction through solo play rather than partnered sex.

Solosexuals often enjoy the independence, control, and creativity of solo sex. They may use toys, fantasies, pornography, or roleplay to spice things up. Some also enjoy masturbating in the presence of others or alongside partners.

The term is sometimes confused with autosexual, which describes sexual attraction to oneself. While the two identities can overlap, solosexuality highlights sexual practice, whereas autosexuality refers to attraction.
