da

then what is it? i've only heard described as needing to form an emotional connection before having sexual attraction.

Well, that right there IS what it is, but it has nothing to do with how other people are attracted to other people. This insult that you seem to be imagining is just that: imaginary.

how is it imaginary? it very clearly implies that the majority of people are just attracted to anyone and everyone and don't require any sort of emotional connection involved. people who do need that emotional connection don't need some sort special term to separate them from everyone else because guess what, they're normal too.

Where are you getting the "anyone and everyone" implication from? Lots of people are capable of being sexually attracted to some people (their "type" if you will) just from the way they look or seem to be, without really knowing them. Demisexuality means you can't experience that kind of attraction. It's not even a question of which is more normal than the other -- saying you're demisexual isn't supposed to be an implication that you think you're ~different~. It's just a descriptor.

Re: confessions

(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
So then why the need for a descriptor for one thing but not the other if not to separate yourself from the other group?

Re: confessions

(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Because one is considered the default and has no established descriptor?

Re: confessions

(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Considered the default by whom, exactly?

Re: confessions

(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Now you're being purposefully dense.

Re: confessions

(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
To use your words, heterosexuality also reeks of not being like those other people who sleep with same-sex partners. Homosexuality reeks of not being like other people who sleep with opposite-sex people.

And it's that perceived slight against other people that's imaginary. it's this implication that other people want to sleep with everything that moves that's imaginary.
