Autosexuality

Autosexuality describes someone who desires masturbation over partnered sex.[citation needed]
This term is not recognized by the National Institutes of Health and U.S. National Library of Medicine: it is not found in their dictionary or encyclopedia of MedlinePlus.
In PubMed, an online service with citations from professional scientific and other life science journals, the term 'autosexual' or 'autosexuality' is only found in a handful of article citations, all used solely as a synonym or euphemism for sexual self-stimulation, i.e., masturbation, not as a preference for masturbation over partnered sex. [1][2][3]
An autosexual is also used as a term in evolutionary or genetic programming to describe a one parent population that does a crossover with itself and then mutation to produce children.[4]
