Re: Question on sexuality- bi/pan/demi

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't exactly made a study of this and don't identify this way myself, but from what I've been able to glean, "demisexual" means "unable to feel sexual attraction unless one has formed an emotional attachment to/gotten to know the person well first" (with no reference to gender). At least, I think that's what it's supposed mean based on what people seem to be going for - with emphasis on the "unable."

Unfortunately, there seems to be some Special Snowflaking going on with demisexuality that has lead people to mock it for appropriating language like "coming out" and making gross generalizations about how all straight-/gay-/bi-identified people think and feel (and crossing the line into slut-shaming in the process). I think the problem arises from trying to contrast demisexuality with hetero-, homo-, and bisexuality instead of placing it on the sexual-asexual spectrum. A demisexual person who is sexually attracted to the opposite sex (when enough of an emotional attachment has occurred) and only the opposite sex is by definition also heterosexual. He or she is just different than heterosexual people who are capable of feeling sexually attracted to people they aren't close to, just as being capable of sexual attraction at all makes him or her different than hetero-romantic asexual people. That's how I see it, at least.
