Thanks for your help people!!! By the way I’m straight and Demisexual. I’m not interested in having sex with the same sex gender or dating.

  • Demisexuality is a form of Asexuality where you only feel sexual attraction to a person you have a deep connection to.

    finding someone attractive and being attracted to them are not mutually exclusive. You can say someone is attractive but also not be attracted to them. So if you don’t find yourself attracted to the same gender then you’re straight. I’ve always thought of Demi and Ace to be a form of attachment sexuality. Like it tells how you’re sexually attracted to someone but being straight/gay/bi/pan/etc is who you’re attracted to.

    • That’s true I think I’m Demisexual and heterosexual.

    • If you think that fits you then by all means run with it!😁 ultimately you have to be comfortable with what you label yourself as

    • That’s true 🙂

  • Demisexual means you’re only attracted to people you have a deep connection with.

    • What would be an example of someone who a demisexual might find attractive? A long time supervisor? The deep connection is what I’m not sure what your talking about?

    • @Girther10 Deep emotional connection, like in love.

  • Demisexual? I think it means you want to have sex with Demi Lovato or for you old geysers more likely Demi Moore.

    • No way hosay. A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone. It's more commonly seen in but by no means confined to romantic relationships

    • Well if you already know the answer to what it means to be a demisexual, why did you ask us the question? Also, the expression is no way Jose, not hosay though I appreciate you trying to spell it by sounding it out.
