What if your most meaningful romantic or sexual relationship wasn't with another person—but with yourself?
In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores autosexuality and autoromanticism—identities where romantic or sexual attraction is directed inward rather than toward others. While these identities are often misunderstood, they offer a fascinating perspective on love, intimacy, relationships and self-connection.
