I don't necessarily think that the demisexual label would be all that useful in day to day living, but I think in more in depth/academic discussions about sexual attraction in general and sexual attraction as separate from sexual orientation it might be useful.

Additionally, if we could get rid of slut shaming then there wouldn't be a problem with identifying as "whatever-word-for-not-demisexual-we-pick" since it would 1) only indicate ability to be attracted, not actions or behaviors and 2) having sex with people just because it's fun even if you aren't emotionally connected to them is totally fine!

Unfortunately, we aren't quite there yet, but that's got more to do with society and how society would use words like demisexual and "whatever-word-for-not-demisexual-we-picked", not anything inherently judgmental about those words themselves.

And to be fair in the case you're discussing, declaring your orientation wouldn't be massively helpful. Just because someone is the correct gender for me to be attracted to them doesn't mean they have any sort of change of having sex with me. Additionally, if more people knew what demisexual meant it would still give out the correct information - which would be "maybe".
