2014, Morag A. Yule, Lori A. Brotto, & Boris B. Gorzalka, "Sexual fantasy and masturbation among asexual individuals", The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality, Volume 23, Issue 2, August 2014, page 93:
It is possible that some asexual individuals will also be autochorissexual in that they are not sexually attracted to anyone or anything, but may nonetheless require explicit stimuli to facilitate masturbation to orgasm.
2014, Matty Bennett, "Beyond The Letters", The Letters (Virginia Tech), Fall 2014, page 27:
"I am demisexual, some shade somewhere of asexual. Autochorissexual is a term I've learned, but it's not really an identity with a community, just a more specific vocab word. […]
2015, Parul Modi, "Do men and women with asexual identities show low category specificity in their patterns of sexual attraction and attention to male and female swimsuit models?", thesis submitted to California State University, Fullerton:
The fact that some asexuals masturbate, but separate this activity from images of themselves as sexual and from sexual fantasies, supports the notion that some asexuals might be autochorissexual (Bogaert, 2012).
2017, Morag A. Yule, Lori A. Brotto, & Boris B. Gorzalka, "Sexual Fantasy and Masturbation Among Asexual Individuals: An In-Depth Exploration", Archives of Sexual Behavior, Volume 46, Number 1 (2017):
Autochorissexual individuals view themselves as being separate from the sexual acts they are viewing or fantasizing about, thereby allowing for detachment between their sense of self and masturbation and sexual fantasies.
2019, Thom Winter-Gray & Nikki Hayfield, "'Can I be a kinky ace?': How asexual people negotiate their experiences of kinks and fetishes", Psychology & Sexuality:
For autochorissexual participants, kinks and fetishes were understood as part of an individual’s unique desires and fantasies, which were either undesirable – or impossible – to experience in real-life.
Noun: "(neologism) a person who is autochorissexual"
2016, Anthony F. Bogaert, "What Asexuality Tells Us About Sexuality", Archives of Sexual Behavior, Volume 46, Number 3 (2016), page 629:
As an example, Brotto and Yule raise an interesting theoretical question on the nature of sexual orientation, that is, ‘‘Might asexuality represent another dimension on which orientation is based, such that subjective falls at one end (e.g., the individual with a sense of identity as a sexual agent) and non-subjective falls at the other end (e.g., the autochorissexual who experiences a complete identity-less sexuality).
2019, Xavier Menezes, "The Ace of Hearts: Exploring Asexuality in Modern Society", Eidos, Volume 9, Number 1 (2019), page 93:
[…] and even autochorissexuals, who have sexual fantasies and masturbate on occasion, but do not project themselves into sexual fantasies, merely exercising the biological functions of arousal and release without a real 'target' (Bogaert, 2012).
