What Is Demisexuality?

Demisexuality is a sexual orientation that falls on the asexuality spectrum. Demisexual people feel sexual attraction only when they have a strong emotional bond with someone. The strong bond isn’t a guarantee that they will have a sexual attraction, however it’s a necessity for them to consider a sexual activity.

According to dictionary.com, demisexual as a term first appeared in 2006. It would take just two years for it to become a part of the mainstream lexicon. The first part of the word “demi” means half which usually describes demisexuals as being in the middle of sexuality and asexuality. It is important to note that demisexuals can be straight, gay, bisexual, or pansexual. On top of that, they can have any gender identity.

The common myth about demisexuals is that they are afraid of sexual activities. That is false. They simply don’t feel sexual attraction towards people that they have just met.

Demisexuality vs Demiromantic

It’s important to distinguish the differences between demisexuality and demiromanticism. Demisexuality is a type of sexuality that describes people who feel sexual attraction only toward people they are close to. On the other hand, demiromantic people require a strong emotional connection to someone before they can feel romantic toward them.

You Take Time To Develop Sexual Attraction

Take a look at your past relationships. Did it take you a while to feel sexual attraction toward them? If the answer is yes, there’s a good chance you are demisexual.

One-night Stands Don’t Interest You

Random hookups and one-night stands are not in your alley. The mere idea of it may turn demisexuals off completely. They are disinterested in having sexual activities with people they don’t know.

Intimate Dates Are Your Favorite

You prefer dates that allow you to get to know the other person at a deeper level. Sure going to movies is great, but discussing how it made you feel afterward is even better. This is paramount for demisexuals as they need to get to know the other person to feel sexual attraction.

Physical Attraction Isn’t Everything

When it comes to demisexuals, the physical attraction takes a backseat in the development of sexual attraction. Instead, they can be attracted to the way the person thinks or by building a bond through repeated romantic experiences.

These are just some of the signs that are common between demisexuals. If you are still not sure about your sexual orientation we recommend taking our demisexual quiz.
