Re: labels

ayrt

I'm anon, so, willing to admit that I do have issues with these terms, because there's tinges of slut-shaming to demisexuality and grey-ace (i.e., "I might have sex but when I do it's because I care about them unlike the rest of you sluts who just sleep with people they don't like because SEX SEX SEX IS ALL YOU THINK ABOUT"). I also think that most people on Tumblr IDing as these terms are teenagers with low sex-drive in a society that implies they should be sex-crazed (this largely applies to demisexual?).

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

Don't forget that there seem to be more asexuals/demisexuals in fandom FOR SOME REASON HMMM

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

There's more EVERYTHING atypical in fandom, though.

(Or at least more people willing to admit to it.)

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

...what does demisexual even mean? Is it just "low sex drive?"

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

...My understanding of the term is that it means they don't have a sex drive outside of people they're in a relationship with. Not just 'not interested in having sex with' but having that be the thing that flips their libido from OFF to ON.

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt confirms that it's basically what above anon said. Sexual interest and sex itself won't happen with a demisexual unless they're romantic with that person.

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

isn't that just low sex drive, though? what?

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. Is it low sex drive if you have heaps of sex/sex-drive within your relationship?

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

I swear that is just 'most humans'.

Re: labels

[(Anonymous)]

DA. I think you've hit on it with this statement: "teenagers with low sex-drive in a society that implies they should be sex-crazed". If you don't have a strong sex drive, everyone figures there's something wrong with you, so that may be where the need/desire to label comes in. Sort of an "there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just [fill-in-the-blank terminology]".

If we'd had these gradations of terminology when I was a teenager, I might have had something to describe myself as other than "frigid beyotch".
