It's a...term still, isn't it? A thingy? As in Holmes isn't out chasing the ladies but if you had a few months worth of snuggles he might be up for it?

[(Anonymous)]

No? That's normal. "I only want to have sex with people I want to have sex with" is not an orientation.

[seiberwing]

I didn't say it was an orientation. I'm not sure what I'd class it as, I don't know much about it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a term that kids on tumblr use to feel special about themselves, and it's seen as slut-shaming and queer-appropriating by just about everybody else, fyi. If you want to say that Holmes might be interested in a romantic relationship but wouldn't be immediately ready for sex, then you can just say that.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT
Best of my knowledge its only feeling sexually attracted to people you have a strong emotional connection too or wanting an emotional connection before sex. At least, that's the impression I got from AVEN.

[seiberwing]

Well, some people seem determined to convince me that it's just something tumblr kids do because god knows wanting to do your own thing is equal to shaming the people who don't.

[(Anonymous)]

Same anon as above.
Also I've NEVER heard someone call it slut--shaming or queer appropriating but I don't hang around tumblr SJWs.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, for the love of puppies, what the hell?

That boob chart is kind of hilarious, though. The only apparently demisexual-identified person in the comments who gets any sympathy from me is the one saying its a shitty chart. I love the implication that strong emotional connections do not ever factor into the sexual relationships of heterosexual (and presumably homosexual) people, not even after sex. That's all kinds of ridiculous right there.

Never go to tumblr

A word to the wise and the sane.

I read an entry there not two days ago that compared "prettying-up" alien characters in smut fics to racism because they both involve forcing potential romantic interests to fit arbitrary beauty standards

like except






ALIENS AREN'T REAL

FOR FUCK'S SAKE

[(Anonymous)]

DA

AVEN's full of shit and part of the reason I don't identify as asexual.

The majority of the population would be classified as demisexual. It's just a special snowflake label tbh.

[diet_poison]

Isn't that pretty common, though? Does it really need a label like that? O_o

What if you are chaste? Is that in the category of "demisexual"? Is it something else? Does it just make you a prude? because according to the Internet everyone who isn't asexual must automatically be looking for someone to have sex with

I just think it's really dumb to categorize things like that...that's not even an orientation, just...a preference, I guess? There are lots of those btw

[(Anonymous)]

No, it isn't normal. A demisexual would be a person who is effectively asexual until they achieve a close bond. Most people are, in fact, aware of having sexual attraction to people regardless of whether or not they've ever been in romantic relationship.

I imagine it can be rather awkward for a person to consider themselves asexual due to lack of sexual attraction, only to get into a close relationship and suddenly have their body wake up and go, "Oh hello" towards their SO. Probably especially awkward if the SO is an asexual who thought they were entering a relationship with another asexual.

[(Anonymous)]

It's an expanded explanation of someone's sexuality. Some people need an emotional connection to feel physically attracted to someone. It's not an orientation in the traditional sense because orientations usually describe the gender of the people your attracted (this includes "not any genders", and "don't care about gender"). Demisexuality describes a condition under which attraction can occur.

[seiberwing]

I think 'state of being' was probably the term I was looking for.
