I made an update a few months-ish ago where I added the following to my pinned:
I’m autosexual and autoerotic and support depictions of characters interacting with their own body, clones, reflections, and alt versions of themselves (this includes selfpair/selfcest/amasui ships). I consider these as representations of autospec attraction (attraction to oneself). As long as the characters are interacting with themselves as themselves, it’s auto. Anyone interpreting this as “inc3st-lite” will be blocked.
I have grown a bit more in understanding autosexuality. Recently, I have begun to feel that my earlier adversion to the term "selfcest" is not a good way to acknowledge other people's k1nks that explore autoeroticism through clones, duplicates, or other fictional methods of replicating one's self or alt self.
The last thing I want is any harsh judgment of other people who still use the term to describe their liking of autoerotic k1nk art or are seen as problematic because of it. That is something I do not want at all.
While I might not use the term, I would rather be neutral about it than control how others feel or describe their kinks.
I think the reason why I initially felt the way I did, including the past posts I made on the subject of autoeroticism in 18+ art, was because I was worried that I would be called out for being autosexual and liking selfcest as an extension of my autosexuality. Thus my past posts, to be honest, were made more out of fear than opening up about my autosexuality and my attraction to my own body.
Well, I did open up about my self-attraction back then, but with the "oh god please don't see me as a monster for loving myself". I don't want to do that anymore.
This was something, along with a slow development of a trigger due to a certain discourse, that I needed to resolve myself, not for someone else who was not responsible for my feelings.
I know now that it is okay to be attracted to yourself and your body, and in addition to that, it is okay and safe to explore the concept of autoeroticism in fiction in its myriad of strange and fantastical forms.
