Kourtney Kardashian recently spoke about her sexuality, saying she is ‘more than likely’ autosexual. But what does that mean?
The 41-year-old shared in an interview that she identifies as autosexual and believes that most women are too, even if only a little.

Autosexuality is described as being attracted to oneself or feeling aroused by one’s own appearance and actions. It’s about feeling sexy within yourself, rather than needing someone else to make you feel that way.
Therapist and writer Casey Tanner asked Kourtney if she would call herself autosexual. She responded, “The short answer is yes, most likely. In fact, we all are, at least a little.”
Tanner explained that autosexuality can go beyond physical actions like self-touch. It can also mean feeling desire for yourself, being turned on by looking at yourself, or feeling sensual through certain movements or habits. Most people experience it to some degree, but for some, it can even be their main sexual orientation.
However, for many, autosexuality is just one part of their sexuality, and they still enjoy partnered relationships.
Kourtney also shared what makes her feel in the mood. She said doing her makeup, hair, and wearing outfits that make her feel good helps her feel confident and attractive.
On her POOSH website, she explained: “This might mean wearing sexy lingerie, even if your partner hardly notices. It could be doing your makeup just to feel good or dancing in the mirror in a cute outfit.”

She also addressed a common concern—some people worry that autosexuality is self-centered or could reduce attraction in relationships. But in reality, it can be a healthy part of self-confidence and personal expression.
Kourtney added: “When we know how to turn ourselves on, we don’t need to rely on outside factors. Feeling good about ourselves keeps us connected to our bodies and senses.”
