Because it doesn't need a label in the first place. Not being into casual sex isn't a sexuality, nor is it at all uncommon.

I understand this part of the argument. I'm not saying I necessarily agree (or disagree) with it, but I understand the argument.

The part that I don't understand is the part where that translates into slut-shaming. I don't understand that, at all. That makes no sense to me. Even if it is in fact the case that demisexuality is just a useless label for something that's basically normative, I don't see how that makes it slutshaming.

It's the fact that they feel a need to make up a special label to differentiate themselves from "those other girls" (aka the people who are okay with having casual sex) when both halves of the equation are equally normal.

I feel like that's not necessarily the only reason that someone would come up with a label for that. I think it's kind of a reach to assert that must be the reason.

I mean, even if you don't think the label should exist, there is a spectrum of how much people like or don't like casual sex, yes? There is an actual difference between people that we're talking about here. No part of that spectrum is better or worse than any other, and talking about that difference doesn't imply otherwise. I don't think.

we sluts need a new term

I never thought of it like this before, and now I see demisexuality in a new light. Since I'm a slutty person who has sex with people without having known them a god's age, I now wonder to myself why demisexuality needs a special label. Or why not make labels for everyone? How about a non-slutty label for me, the kind person who had sex with an athlete a day during the summer Olympic games (good times)? Call it fulsomesexuality. Fulsome for abundant. :D How's that? And there are some people who take, oh, two whole weeks before they hop in the sack, we'll call them quasidemisexuals. (:
