It's #AceAwarenessWeek So, I'm going to talk about being #demisexual

Demisexuality is a subcategory of Asexuality. We too have little to no sexual desire / attraction for people UNTIL we've formed an emotional bond. Then we can be all about the Adult Fun Time. 😉

I can see a stranger's body, & recognize that it's attractive, but it doesn't even remotely make me horny for them. Not until we're emotionally close.

@masukomi thank you for this. I wish I had known more about asexuality for some years. Would've saved my partner and me some hard times.

@der_schrank @Kinky_me that’s exactly why i posted it. Most people have at least heard of Asexuality even if they don’t really understand it, but not demisexuality and it leaves you feeling just as broken until you finally realize you’re not alone, and that this is just another common flavor of being human.

@masukomi I've actually read more about demi-sexuality than about asexuality.

As an allosexual I also had a hard time understanding it in the first place. Especially people on the far end of the spectrum like my partner.

Can't say I fully get it still, but at least I know that it is valid and that the other person simply feels different and that helps a lot.
