Re: LOL at all the sexuals shitting on demisexuality

I wouldn't put it quite like that... (-_-);

But, to the other anon:

"I only want sex when I'm in love!!!!!" isn't what being demi is about. It's more like "I can only be physical with an emotional connection." it's isn't a want. It's an only physically can. -_-;

I have absolutely no idea what the distinction you're trying to draw here is. Your words read to me as though you're saying demisexuals are physically incapable of having sex without an emotional connection, but unless demisexuals have some sort of magical chastity belt that can only be unlocked by emotions, that makes no sense, so I have to assume I'm misreading you.

What exactly do you see the difference being between "I only want sex when I'm in love" and what demisexuals experience?

From what I've read, magical chastity belt isn't quite right, you're right. :3

Except I guess it kind of is? I mean, you wouldn't ask a lesbian if they have a "magical chastity belt that can only be unlocked by women" would you? So I would assume it's essentially the same principle. Sort of. Metaphorically. Unless we're going all Men in Tights on them, then an emotional bond is like a metaphorical jack hammer? Maybe? >_>

No, because lesbians are physically capable of having sex with men, even if they aren't aroused by it and don't enjoy it. In your previous comment, it really sounded like you were saying demisexuals are physcially incapable of sex without an emotional connection. Which I knew couldn't be what you were actually saying.

I still don't understand how what you are saying is different from only wanting sex when you're in love, though. Are you saying that demisexuals are incapable of physical arousal without love? If so, what is the distinction you're drawing between "wanting sex" and "physical arousal"?

Hmmm, you're right, that doesn't make sense. But the way you put it does make more sense, thank you. <3 It probably should be more that demisexuals are physically capable of having sex with people they don't have an emotional connection with, even if they aren't aroused by it and don't enjoy it.

I don't know anymore, honestly, I'm just starting to get sick and tired of this whole conversation, honestly. Though, the difference between "wanting sex" and "physical arousal" is this, though. Physical arousal can come about without having sex. Wanting sex is wanting sex.

Wanting sex can also come about without having sex. I'm still confused. The only difference I can see is that wanting sex necessarily involves attraction to another person, whereas physical arousal does not.

And, honestly? I'm confused by your confusion. So. >__>

Re: LOL at all the sexuals shitting on demisexuality

So far as I'm aware, "wanting sex" = "horny." And "physically aroused" = "horny."

So let's just agree to say "horny" because I can't honestly see how "wanting sex" and "physically aroused" could possibly mean two different things. ;-)

From what I've gathered from this thread, demis don't get aroused in the abstract. Like, they wouldn't look at a person/picture and get horny; what gets them horny is the person that they already have an intimate mental bond with.

My question on the topic (out of pure curiosity) would be "Can a demi feel an emotional connection (albeit one-way) to a fictional character, and become aroused by get horny from that? Or does it need to be an actual connection with a real person, like a friend or someone you can interact with?" Because I know I can become quite emotionally invested in various characters, so I was wondering if that would be enough?
