Re: Asexuality, demisexuality, etc

[(Anonymous)]

I think demisexual and asexual are both legit and the backlash against the former is based on society's weird views of sex, IE that you should only ever feel it toward people you have romantic attraction toward and so people feel that it is therefore normal.

However, often I find that, when pressed, these people will also admit they wouldn't date someone they don't find physically attractive and not just in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. That's the difference between normal and demi. Someone normal will have physical attraction they may or may not act upon, while someone demi will not have it at all and it will only appear after a strong emotional bond. Demi just denotes that it's later in the relationship that attraction forms. (That said, I agree with the person who said it should be more an added prefix than anything else, and also emotional attraction isn't always physical attraction.)

I feel bad about when I told someone a couple of years ago who said they were demisexual something along the lines of "that's what society wants", but not in a dismissive way. Unfortunately, I bet it did come across as dismissive.

I still do believe that's the ideal in some environments (like the generally conservative one where the person was), while in others (sex-positive circles, horny teenager-land, horny adult-land, uh...) it gets laughed off.

I agree with this comment, but I think demisexual could be an orientation in itself for someone who doesn't have enough information to say who they'd potentially be attracted to.

Asexual I believe is legit too, and here goes the disclaimer that I don't think it being legit means you shouldn't consider that you may have symptoms of a medical condition.
