Kourtney Kardashian Barker has caught people’s attention after her brand, Poosh, brought up the topic of “autosexuality.” Fans started talking when they noticed that Poosh had covered this idea in a 2020 article. Now, some are wondering if Kourtney is hinting at something about herself.
“Are you autosexual?” and answers, “Most likely, yes.” But what does this actually mean?
To explain, Poosh included insight from Casey Tanner, founder of QueerSexTherapy. Tanner described autosexuality as “a trait where one becomes aroused by engaging with their own erotic self.” According to Tanner, this can help people feel more attractive, confident, and even improve their relationships. Autosexuality looks different for everyone. For some, it might mean feeling attractive when looking in the mirror or enjoying dressing up for themselves rather than others. Others might be drawn to their own scent or the way they carry themselves. Simple actions like choosing to wear nice clothes for personal satisfaction or dancing in the mirror can be signs of autosexuality. Many people do these things without realizing they fall under this concept. Tanner also explained that autosexuality is normal and can make a person’s sex life better, not worse.
One reason people don’t talk about autosexuality much is because of the stigma around it. Some might worry it makes them seem vain or too focused on their appearance. But Tanner says that accepting this part of oneself can actually boost self-confidence and even help relationships by making people more comfortable in their own skin.
Kourtney, who married Blink-182’s Travis Barker last year, has always been open about expressing herself. Recently, she and Travis were criticized for a Halloween decoration that some people thought was inappropriate. The display featured skeletons posed in a suggestive way, and while some found it funny, others were uncomfortable. One person wrote, “That skeleton position? Really?” while another commented, “You have children, and you think this is okay?”
Kourtney and Travis, who welcomed their son Rocky earlier this year, are known for being affectionate in public and living life on their own terms. Whether the Poosh article was personal or just informative, one thing is clear—people are still talking about Kourtney Kardashian Barker.
