Analloerotic (/ˌænˌæl.ɪˈrɒtɪk/; from an- (prefix "not") + allo- (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος/állos, "other") + erotic) is having no sexual interests in other people.[1][2] Anil Aggrawal considers it distinct from asexuality and defines the latter as the lack of a sex drive.[3] Analloerotics are unattracted to female or male partners, but not necessarily devoid of all sexual behaviour.[1] In his typology of transsexual women, Ray Blanchard observed that, in spite of the fact that autogynephilia and heterosexual attraction more often than not coexisted, there were some cases in which autogynephilia was so intense that it effectively nullified any sexual attraction to women (in other words, they were analloerotic).[4]

There are two main types of analloeroticism:[2]

  • Asexual
  • Automonosexual
