Demisexual people only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with the person. They can be gay, straight, bisexual, or pansexual, and may have any gender identity. The prefix “demi” means half — which can refer to being halfway between sexual and asexual.
The name doesnt really match their preference though?


What does their preference have to do with the number figure 10?

Does this mean I don't have a chance with her?

"Hey everyone, I'm a DEMISEXUAL, so don't even THINK about having sex with me until we've emotionally bonded!!".
She wants to appear woke, I believe it’s more of a trend among young people.

It looks like demisexual people only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with the person. I can certainly respect that because I am the same way. Not sure there is a name for it, oh well.
As opposed to acting on an attraction without an emotional bond.

Sounds like “ demi” assumes an emotion connection- relationship, opposed to random hook- ups with or without gender bias.

Certainly better than one partner looking for nothing more than a sexual outlet while the other engages in wishful thinking that sex will lead to more.

Do you have sex with everyone you have an emotional bond with? I don't think so... this is lunacy and your answer is off the chart.

I am so terribly old fashioned. I can remember when one's sexual life was not announced to the world at every opportunity....in other words a private aspect of our life.

attention seeking people like ms. cuomo are quite arrogant to think others are remotely interested in their sex lives.
